Can't agree Ed. The try was the direct result of Hodgo and JB not being able to tackle and lock up the ball carried by Morgan. Imo a hooker and backrower should be able to lock up the ball carried by a half back. Not locking up the ball has been a long term issue for the Raiders. In this case, it is an example of what still needs to be worked on at training, but it has not cost us any competition points and gives us time to correct it.edwahu wrote: ↑April 8, 2019, 7:38 am He did create a gap. Cooper ran through the gap Williams created by rushing out of the line at no one. It doesn't jam the defense when you're only putting pressure on fresh air and an elite half like Morgan sees the opportunity when you do. The commentators even mentioned it.
It sounds like you're very unhappy here, Keghead.

Last week you rated a poster on here as “One of the best” when he belittled Islanders and their intelligence levels so don’t think you are beyond judgment.

If I might politely respond. I thought Sam was 'one short' on the rating scale for both weeks. You do ask for our opinion on the ratings and I think we all look for (and rate) different things when watching matches. But a disagreement on a player rating is not something I would ever take personally. I mean, this is not of State of Origin proportionsgreeneyed wrote: ↑April 8, 2019, 8:53 am I should know better... but here we go... last week I thought Sam Williams had a very good game and rated him a 7. I guess that's never recognising achievements. This week, I thought he didn't have one of his better games, therefore the rating. I was asked after the game on The Greenhouse Live about who takes the halfback spot when Aidan Sezer is back fit. I think Sam's strengths are his organisational ability and kicking game, and in this he is stronger than Aidan Sezer, but defence his relative weakness. Sezer is stronger in defence. Sam has been working on his defence and bulked up over the off season, so that's obviously to his credit. As an overall package, I find it hard to split the two players. As a player, there's a lot to like about Sam. I suspect the coach rates Aidan's defence as more important to the team at the moment, though, so I suspect Sezer will come back in when fit.

Right, yes ... sorry. I should have been clearer.

I would imagine it's because he mostly logs in for the sole purpose of pointing out that everyone but he is ignorant of everything to do with rugby league, that they are personally unfit, carry a huge and completely unfair bias against Jack Wighton and are a knob, and does so in nearly every post.

I think those are the only two smart enough to do it on the regular. Hodgo gets at least 4-5 a season, Whitehead 1 or 2. I can't remember seeing anyone else attempt (let alone pull off) the steal on a regular basis.

I know precisely what you mean- been giggling with my sister (who is a kindy teacher) all season about how BJ reminds her of a naughty kindy kid- you could tell he enjoyed pushing the other kids off him after scoring more than he enjoyed scoring that try in the early rounds; how Rapana scored this week after Joey was hell for leather after that ricochet ball and every else mysteriously got pushed over.gergreg wrote: ↑April 8, 2019, 8:19 pmHaha I can picture BJ attempting a strip and mistaking somebodies head for a ball and ripping it straight of his shoulders, all with that cheeky grin.BadnMean wrote:I think those are the only two smart enough to do it on the regular.

Woodgers' comments weren't racist in the slightest, for example. If you knew the bloke you'd know that's the last thing he is.
It's everyone else's fault though apparently.
You then default to using insults because you're out of your depth.
