I read it as lots of people pencilling it in as a win....but I may have misinterpreted the posts. I addressed the mental attitude comment you speak of in last week's game day thread. Like the refs, it isn't the reason we lose every single time. Not saying we couldn't have been better last week but I...

Woodgers

If they show up with the right attitude I agree. We need Lui to reproduce what he did against the rabbits and we need Soliola and Sutton to pick back up again. I think having Papalii out will make them all lift. Agree 100%, GE. This is why I wouldn’t rush anyone back. We should be able to win this ...

Woodgers

10 years later this is just another Herbert V McCrone debate. Both should be moved on, I'd be happy enough with having Hingano as our backup next year on minimum wage. Teams like Manly and Storm have 4th stringers better than these 2, it's rather embarrassing even debating it. :lol: Oh the memories...

Woodgers

Ricky has Dean Pay right where he wants him in regards to the smokescreens after teaching him all his tricks. It's the ultimate long game double bluff that will mentally destroy the Bulldogs hardman in the lead up to this clash.

Woodgers

Just found this video - sure you can make these of most players, but I just wanted to provide examples of what I was referring to: https://www.facebook.com/nrlzerofuksgiven/videos/1474743159252711/?v=1474743159252711 NSW did not need Cronk or Thurston to win more than a single series in that streak...

Woodgers

Fair enough points. As I said I didn't see him as poor as that for the most part, what I think happened was he did have a few poor or below par games where he wore the brunt of it all even when there were worse performances in blue jumpers. Then it became a thing to basically harp on and on about ho...

Woodgers

What specifically about the NSW team do you like Rickman?

Woodgers

I'm happy with the side selected. I thought NSW might be a middle short on the bench as well but I think Freddy wants that mobility and agility in the defence to contain the running games of Ponga and Munster. At the risk of being absolutely slammed I will say i'm disappointed that Pearce was ruled ...

Woodgers

As I've said before I don't care who Ricky selects in that halves battle but the thought of Sezer coming in and having a big game might even be worth the sanctimonious carry on that will follow.

Maybe, I haven't decided yet.

Woodgers

Bad teams blame their best players for lack of success. Once Hodgson went off the park yesterday the only time we looked like we had any idea what we were doing was when Havili was running direct out of hooker What little organisation and structure we have went off the park with Hodgson If Hodgson ...

Woodgers

Hodgson isn't stunting our attack. It's overstated. Even yesterday we created 4 try scoring opportunities with him on the park vs one with Havili, which was just Havili scoring it himself. The previous two games we created enough to win as well. Every week I also read about endless crash balls when...

Woodgers

The other point I forgot to make is every time we lose a match you hear people saying things like 'we just didn't turn up today' or 'our mental attitude lost us that' like teams that turn up and try hard win every game. That isn't the case. We didn't lose that match because our 17 didn't give it eve...

Woodgers

I'm absolutely gutted with that loss, but I do think a lot of the comments here and elsewhere are a bit OTT. The biggest issue which Twisted says above is the attack is completely awful and reliant on individual effort. There is no structure to anything and it is opportunistic. We have the chance wi...

Woodgers

Good post Rickman and worth highlighting. The one thing that we might take away here is that there is a high probability that people on The GH are also experiencing poor mental health, and this should be a reminder on how we treat and respond to each other. All the best to GI, a true champion of the...

Woodgers

One of the big factors of having Cotric at right centre is that Trbojevic will presumably slot back in to the wing role once he's back. Considering that the other candidates aren't too flash and that NSW seem keen on including Cotric somewhere, I'd roll with Cotric at centre. I'd hate to see somebo...

Woodgers

Ha ha Gus earning his cool $1m a year with a quick game of heads down, thumbs up. I still wonder if the extent these players are affected is massively embellished to suit the narrative.

Woodgers

Ivan Cleary has managed to try absolve the Penrith debacle this season on the sex tape stuff at the start of the year. Would the players involved in that even have been in 1st grade? I thought May in particular was their back up half. I'm not saying outright that this issue hasn't affected Penrith p...

Woodgers

I'm pretty much resigned to the fact they'll select Cleary, there is too much noise around this Fittler pact. It's not the end of the world for me, I think Cleary is a decent player but just not playing anywhere near the level required to steer NSW around at the moment. He just wasn't in my preferre...

Woodgers

Cleary had an average game but by the sound of the commentary team's garbage he's gonna make the cut. Channel 9 were trying to pump him up as much as they could, they had nothing to show so they kept repeating the same highlights... As for Fergo, he started with a bang but his performance seemed to...

Woodgers

Sure why not, the more the **** merrier at this point. You'd have to think the English National Team would be good enough to run top 4 most years in the NRL The Raiders in Stuart's day built a winner on the back of being one of few clubs who actively recruit out of NZ and QLD, two areas of football...

Woodgers

I agree with Wayne Bennett's comments. It would be crazy to select Cleary/Maloney for Origin. QLDers coming into this thread and saying 'pick Cleary' is like a NSW supporter trying to convince QLDers to select Boyd instead of Ponga. Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk Oooooffff. Fabulous point. Lu...

Woodgers

Yeah im not really concerned by that. It's clear he's been leaving for a while, i think he wanted to be out by now and Wigan dug their heels in... is it great that his response is to just phone it in (if that is indeed what he's been doing)? No. Probably not, but then i dont think he's coming here ...

Woodgers

Woodgers

Cleary I can give a bit of leeway to, but he's playing reserve grade standard football and has been all year. The comparison to Inglis isn't apples and apples, you're talking about a young bloke with absolutely shot confidence trying to steer a State team around in the toughest RL environment vs pro...

Woodgers

I think it’s madness to drop Cleary... he and Keary are our best shot of having a stable halves pairing capable of leading the blues for at least the next 3-4 years. Agreed with you 100%, Boney. But god I hope the nsw selectors agree with the rest of these clowns. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk H...

Woodgers

100% Pigman. And the best thing about that pack is not only do they have size to match it with anyone, every single one of them is a skilful player that is far, far more capable than just a lump carting a ball up.

Woodgers

All I know is that in every other job if you continually beat your estimates by weeks to months then your boss eventually tells you to start revising your estimates haha Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Haha yeah you get two cracks at that cherry before the boss pulls you in and like "can you ...

Woodgers

England's backrow is better than Australia's. I'm looking forward to the next clash between those 2.

Woodgers

Burgess wasn’t complaining. Love his aggression and attitude.

Woodgers

I love how you're all dropping Nathan Cleary. It'll be absolutely fantastic if NSW completely change their halves, like they did the last time they won a series. We don't want any advice from a QLDer! There is absolutely no way NSW pick those halves based on their current standard. It's wishful thi...

I wouldn’t be surprised to now see this happen a lot earlier than expected. Williams is phoning it in for Wigan and they are absolutely horrendous. They’ll most likely get absolutely spanked this weekend by Warrington seeing them maybe drop down to 9th out of 12 teams. 3 or 4 tries went in through ...

Woodgers

Not only is Bateman the best man for the middle, he also plays his best football in the middle, and prefers it there, he’s said as much himself. And Tapine and Whitehead both play their best football on the edges and prefer it there. This one isn’t rocket surgery, it’s strange to me that it’s even ...

Woodgers

Great addition. Very pleased to see Joe back.

Woodgers

Sounds like we're reading tea leaves. Freddy got the culture pretty right last time. If he decides Fergo is a better bet than Cotric to keep that going (when talent is on par and age favours Cotric) then Freddy is as dumb as he sounds (prepared to entertain the current argument that he is not dumb,...
