The Greenhouse

I'm still losing my mind. These things need to be viewed in totality and overall his record here hasn't been great - I'd much rather see how this year pans out before making an offer to extend the contract.

Azza

Justin Langer is too parochial a Western Australian to drop Bancroft at this stage IMO. However I also agree he should make way for Harris, I'd have Patterson in the line up ahead of him as well.

Azza

Let's forget all this crap and just focus on Manly. Otherwise they absolutely will sneak under the radar and ambush us.

Azza

If we draw this test it will be a miracle with our shoddy batting line up.

That's why they call him bee sting head
you mean "Thousand Bees".

No I mean bee sting head

Azza

Yeah exactly that's what I'm getting at it feels like when the team plays away they get into that siege mentality and there's no complacency. of course it is years of inconsistent performances that make me feel just a little wary, but we have been a lot better this year. I just feel like the weight ...

Azza

no I don't think we've had any bad losses at home other than the cowboys but I think we've been more outstanding away from home

Azza

NRL com in its match preview stated that we had a strong record at home and gave us a 2 point win. I actually have less confidence in our home record than our away performances at the moment

I really hope we come good on the weekend.

Azza

****, there goes the Leeds test match

Azza

Hopefully Rapana is fit

Will we be ok PJ.
I'm not worried.

God bless you my son.

Azza

To be fair he has 20 years worth of evidence to doubt us. I don't mind him at all but I also don't see much of him as we no longer get any Channel 9 coverage in NZ. Ken rogerworthy, he was specifically asked about our performance on the weekend and its quality and he completely evaded the question.

Azza

Fair point.

Azza

He's only their primary target because he's so damn good.

Regarding Steve Waugh, there weren't too many players who were consistently as good as him under pressure. None I can recall actually.

Azza

I'm not worried because you said we will win Piggy, else you are a muppet.

Azza

Will we be ok PJ.

Azza

I hope we win and shove it up Gould's clacker more.

Azza

Yeah watched it. He completely avoided praising the raiders at all

Azza

Lara was one of my favourite batsmen to watch when he got going. Flamboyant backlift and aggressive style of play - probably not as consistent as Tendulkar but played some amazing innings (he single handedly dragged the windies back into a test series against Australia in 1999 from memory - Steve Wa...

Azza

Even if Smith plays, Labu should be in there based on that one innings alone. Harris in for Bancroft who has no idea.

Khawaja is useless but not really any better options are there.

Azza

I hope Turnip Head is right and we don't lose another game.

Azza

Manly's second phase play does concern me greatly. That'll be what does us if we lose imo. Id imagine hodgson will have his eyes on pinching a fair few of these. Yeah its a really good counter point. The roosters second phase worried me and the threat of our steals held it in check, and even then w...

More failures for our awesome openers, keep picking them

Top order is useless.

Bancroft is gone, Usman -I said after the last test he drove me nuts and you can see why just doesn't contribute enough.

Surely they have to pick marnus, showed guts

Always hated Jeffrey Archer's novels

Azza

yeah it's a good'un.

anyway I'm not worried because pig Rickman says we won't lose another game

Azza

Big news that Smith woke up with a headache and feeling dizzy - that's bad. Australia are applying for a concussion sub. Laubuschagne(sp?) will be the one to bat if approved. Big news. with the next test match only 3 days away we may not have him back, and we know how terrible our batting line-up i...

Anasta, Blocker and the rest of them? Hit the bricks boys. You may know more than me but that means **** squat if you cant arituclate it.

Do you know how ironic that is? Muppet.

Azza

Wait is Pigman worried? If not them I''m not worried. I'm confused. Julian, I agree Manly have that x-factor about them. I still think we are more consistent though, and if we're smart and switched on, we can win it. If we aren't switched on we're in trouble (and I don't mean expecting to win - beca...

Azza

The last 2 posts worry me. I'm now worried about this game. :lol: IT would be really disappointing if we lost but it's going to take some man management this week - the Storm game would have the team on a mental high and fair enough, but if they don't quickly focus back in on the Sea Eagles we will ...

Azza

I agree Cotric is not playing at his best, but there is no way he will get dropped at this stage of the season.

Azza

I just re-watched the replay of the match - can I just say Braith Anasta is an absolutely woeful commentator, in my humble opinion. Not just for his lack of accurate insight, but his sound effects and talking over the head commentator at key moments is just amateurish.

Azza

It's a team that could still beat the Sea Eagles, but we'll need to have our heads switched on.

Azza

I think Rapana could play , but probably best to give him a rest.

Azza

How good would it be if we won this. Almost as good as the Raiders win.
