Smorgasbord posted:The really irritating thing for me is Pearce's shitness and Daley's stupidity have led to Maloney being ditched because of this ill conceived idea that you must have a 'club combination', ignoring the fact that most halves pairings work on a right side/left side basis. The other thing in that vein which annoys me is the obsession over making sure it's a halfback and standoff in the team. There isn't a hard and fast rule about which half covers which side of the field. Nobody ever mentions that Josh Reynolds wears 6 but plays the right side half, which is the exact same position as Adam Reynolds and Mitchell Pearce, who happen to wear 7. Yet there are plenty of people that think Josh Reynolds could comfortably be partnered with either of those two on the basis of the jersey number they wear every week.

Mills posted:And considering Jennings and Cordner are expected to be mainstays, while Tupou is valued enough to get a run, why wouldn't you persist with Maloney for the entire Roosters left edge? Daley is an utter buffoon, has to be among the shallowest thinkers in the game. edit ^^^^exactly, no legitimate reason Maloney lost his spot to Hodkinson (who is a good player and has been playing well but come on).

I know but technically Pierce for replaced by Hodge and Reynolds got picked over Maloney

This is a loving try but they'll say no  edit: also gently caress Dave Taylor and one of his 3 good games of the season usually being against us.

Good controlled second half from us so far, but I'm really underwhelmed with Tomkins lately. He showed some good signs earlier in the season but we need more out of him. edit: Ugh Chad you gotta score there Smorgasbord fucked around with this message at 10:12 on May 24, 2014 |

Stats say the Broncos have a higher error rate, which seems odd. If the penalties even up we might even have a non-zero chance in this.

Tedesco and/or Mansour would be great signings, Kevin Proctor not so much. They'll end up with Proctor.

I'm looking forward to origin. Unfortunately can't get to Suncorp. Its a religious experience having 48,000 people screaming Queenslander at 2,000 blues. Its sad they hosed with the price and we have a chance of a not full house. Still. I hope for no serious injuries to anyone, maybe a little pushy shovey biff and Billy Moore screaming QLDER. I think it will be close as usual. 20-8 to QLD.
