SOO 3 ( what a waste of time)

You know, its not hard to figure out why the Fifita brothers got in trouble for their actions at a game last year. If a player doing what Cooper did (ball at Moylan's head) is enough to make Fifi lose his cool like that.....the guy has serious issues.

Then they showed him on the sideline acting like a clown on his way to the bin.
 
Jackson has been outstanding these last couple of games, but that's 2 consecutive bonehead errors from him that hands possession straight back to QLD
 
Come on nsw. Like been posted previously. Where is the leader out there. Running it up like headless chooks. No one is standing up and directing the play.
 
I didn't think it was necessary to say it was poorly executed structure ... It was disgraceful execution.Every single team in the NRL runs the same stuff every week followed by a kick to the corner or grubber; it's just that some , like the Storm,execute better than others. I find that boring,regardless of the execution.

Fans, for better or worse, look for aesthetics, not theoretical concepts of how to dismantle a defence.Unfortunately the interchange, wrestle and other bull**** interpretations of age old rules, have given us this armwrestle masquerading as League. Might be just me but give me Cliffy back please Lord
Cliffy played off many attacking simple effective structures that had Bozo offering blockers targeting the centres and the luxury to play off the cuff against fatigued semi professional teams who's defensive structures were not as structured and composed as they are today.

In saying that still loved his ball playing and "genuine try assists" unlike other over-rated "ballplayers" in the modern era.

Des combined power, ballplaying forwards, offloads, early lateral spreads tied together with structure to elevate Manly above the Storm in 2008.
 
Sorry but getting sin binned for that in origin, which is supposed to be the pinnacle of our sport, is laughable.
So was the penalty against Inglis for the shoulder charge.
Origin is so far removed from the great thing i remember in my younger years ths5t it's hard to believe it's the same sport

Agree. I suppose I am simply saying that as a spectator we all yearn for a game that rewards individual skill and off the cuff brilliance as opposed to predictable regimented stuff. The bame lies squarely with the supreme fitness of today's players coupled with laws that don't allow for the vagaries of fatigue and reward athletes as opposed to footballers.

These are the best players in the world out there tonight and the coaching and rules throw this rubbish up on most occasions .
