SOO, Jake, DCE, general discussion

[Under the Sticks]

No, it’ll always be Wally for me.

The Original and the worst!

I wonder what Wally thinks of that other so called “King of Nothing” Gutho? I hate him too! Done nothing turncoat.

 

[Under the Sticks]

We had our chances, just couldn't execute the finish.
I can't stand the Cunster, but he was everywhere he needed to be tonight.

He had a crappy first half I thought but certainly lifted in the second 40 where it counts.

Bit harsh. Gutho was told to fuk off by Manly. He didn't want to leave.

More about the team he joined, his post try nauseating antics and overblown opinion of himself in regards to other fullbacks.

It seems weird he has played Origin and Pappy hasn’t.

I think the difference in the match was created by Harry Grant from that

Munster > Luai

DCE > Cleary

I agree with the bloke who used to captain the Storm (I cant speak the grubs name), not a bad player on the field - which is often the case.

Good point feathered friend

Harry Grant took hold and seized the game

A Dynamic and Dominant Hooker is the ace of spades in the pack

I also thought Hunt had some great moments

The moral of the story ....
A great 9 makes the spine shine

I wonder how Cook felt playing against two hookers?

The pace must have sapped it out of him. Lots of NRL teams play with two hookers and this game was so much faster.

 

[StuBoot]

Hunt not passing to DCE to finish the game had a sinister feel to it. But plays like that also sum up how Hunt threw away a premiership in 2015. Idiot…

Bit harsh there and reading too much into it in my opinion. DCE had someone right on him so the percentage play was passing to an unmarked winger.

 

[Scorpio]

Did DCE run straighter lines tonight that he does for us, wasn’t much sideways stuff From him?

I thought it was much of the same to be honest...

 

[Snake]

I thought Val Holmes played pretty well. Some great desperate defensive plays.

He was probably best on ground with Munster. I’ve never seen him play that well. He can do some flashy things but tonight he was great in all the effort areas.

You make a Good point there and unfortunately for the Blues

Blind Freddy did not have any one to give Cook a breather

Agree totally. Always seemed to be a player going for the low percentage hero play in the past but he excelled in all areas tonight and I think he probably has Todd Payton to thank for that.

Munster only turned up for the second 40.

 

[Snake]

He took plenty of poor options I thought and hunt should have gone on 5-10 mins earlier.

The Holmes try was a great example of how special Harry Grant is. The open side was stacked and DCE and Munster were waiting for the ball and he jumped out, attracted the Markers and dished off for Ponga to create the short side raid that led to a try. Most players just go open side there. He is a very very special player.

When Grant came on, QLD were able to win the middle and never really looked back.

Had Good seats tonight

Well done QLD.

The blues looked so lost without turbo seriously Freddie does not have the answers.

DCE was very good in patches.

@BOZO well done to your maroons we won't be coming back from that tonight.

Yeah, live I thought Hunt muffed it. But the replay showed there was a blue ready to nail DCE.

 

[NYEagle]

Apart from his try, I wasn't very impressed with DCE's attacking game tonight. Hopefully, he plays better for us on Sunday 🙂

He was absolutely everywhere though. I swear he must watch tapes of what Thurston used to do in defence. Just everywhere.

Now it’s a matter of taking that confidence from tonight and carrying it on for Manly.

Our Manly Maroon pack hopefully should also take confidence from their last win
and Give DCE a bit of room to Groove and do what he does best

Cleary would also struggle behind a struggling Manly pack
