The Foz & Turbo Show

[jbb/james]

Sounds fantastic! I'm not working Mondays currently (well not formally but still end up doing some!) and this arvo the grandkids coming down (from 3 houses away!) the littlest one suggested we make crostoli but I said no, we'd need a whole day for that project, so we'll go with the middle one's suggestion and make some apple turnovers 🙂
Always popular 🙂 🙂

SO , you are essentially the real life everyone loves raymond. what could be better. we have enough room to build another house on our block and the zoning stops next door on the bad side currently, but its going to happen. My son (only child ) is 16 so we envisage building another house there for us and he can do a deal to get this one in the future if he stays in adelaide.
im a stay home dad so i have a pretty good life. have been for 15 years next month

I wont waste any more of your day off , enjoy the cooking with the grandkids . wish you were closer, we could palm off some soup for your apple turnovers

Seems to be working out okay for Penrith at present. I think it just comes down to the quality of the player. Some clubs most important spine players are their fullback and half, others their hooke and half, others their fullback and half. I don't think you can definitely say what position is most important - that is subjective.

too true, that should shut me up.

but any player that you pay the bank too that doesnt return top shelf performances consistently will smash holes in your recruitment strategy , whatever position they play

Foz plays direct and hard. He puts his body on the line. What he lacks in speed he makes up for it in heart. He adds a different dimension to our game when everyone else around him is playing well. I don't see it as Foz v Chez. They really compliment each other.

Great game by lots of players today but especially Foz & Turbo. So happy we held them to zero, great effort

I think Harper deserves a mention too , he played well .

I think Harper deserves a mention too , he played well .

Well the difference between Harper and Suli is, that Harper can do a charge down, bend down, pick up the ball and run 20 metres and pass the ball to Saab to score. Whereas Suli cannot do any of that. Harper is one of my favourites in the team.

Foz, Turbo and DCE need to shine this weekend, remain committed to improvement and embrace consistency of quality.

Weird fact, but this is the first game this season against a team below us on the Premiership Table. Which is therefore a danger game from the position of Attitude.

Considering our only 2 wins have been against (current) top-8 teams, it is imperative to stamp out mishaps and build consistency against (lesser) teams like the Tigers who have failed against far less intimidating opposition this season.

Tigers improved a LOT against the Rabbits, who were themselves a tad complacent after the Tigers awful showing against the Cowboys.

Warriors one could argue just played poorly and we barely scraped home. Titans were close to full strength though, and weren't allowed to play well by our amazing performance. Simply put, we will not have the benefit of teams underestimating us anymore and being complacent - All teams are going to show up against Manly now, cause if they don't we showed we can put plenty on them and can Bagel a solid attacking team expecting it to just happen.

No Team will just expect a win now against Manly like the Warriors/Titans did - and as a result our season truly begins this week, with opposition taking us as seriously as they would a top-8 team.

Buckle up, we should get a good measure of where we sit this weekend I believe.

Go Manly!

I've seen you post previously about your stay at home dad lifestyle and thought to myself, smart guy.
As for wasting my time, on the contrary! I learned long ago that time on ST while not always productive was nevertheless not a waste! Especially while discussing recipes and looking after kids 🙂

First game of the season I will be tipping Manly .
Even tho we won last week and the tigers are not a top 8 team, I really don't think Manly will have an issue with attitude for this one.. with 3 wins in our last 20 odd games I can't imagine us having an over confidence problem for atleast 10 more wins on the trot

Yeah its a good gig and i do bleat on about it because it is worth bragging about . People sometimes think im ok when they meet me, then i tell them what i do and im instantly an arsehole . A lucky freaking son of a asshole bich mutha fuc......

Yesterday i was told on here i have pay packet envy. Like whats a pay packet. Didnt know how to answer that

My wife reckons i got the gig, not because of smarts but because i underachieved and that i am essentially an old lady in a dudes body. I Resent the old bit

But watching the boy grow up , hanging , and teaching him stuff is the best thing ive ever done

Anyway gotta drop of some dry cleaning for the wife. I dont iron . Screw that . i might if i could find an attachment for the drill that did it. Im big on automation and delegation.

Since rejoining the group after many years of giving up, I now find that my time in the office doing quotes and invoices for my business tends to sway between working and the group and reading the up to date news from NRL and The Kennel pages.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Yeah foran is improving all the time. I think he is coming to terms with his role as leader and game manager.

We look better when dce does less. I think for the forums sake we are lucky we have so many injuries in the back row.

I just dont think you can leave huamole or schuster out of the team and if the back row was fit and firing pushing schuster to the bench , that would be sad as he has more upsides that dce so far

But that day is coming

I agree we are better when dce touches the ball less but I think he will grow in confidence and eventually show the form we know and expect of him... its almost like turbo boycotted him the other night constantly going left. Thats his preferred side but it just looks like foran and turbo have been playing together for years whilst dce looks like the new kid on the block.

Looking forward to the Foz and turbo show once again! Garrick 1st try scorer 😉

Give Foran another year. The is Foran/DCE combo with Schuster and Tommy out the back could get us a top 4 berth next year
