I went to the game. Fantastic atmosphere. It was easily the most people I've seen hang around after full time, too. Also, I stand by my comment that McGuire is the best young prop in the game. He was an absolute beast again tonight.
What exactly did Copley do massively wrong except drop 1 ball that was pegged behind him? If he was playing outside someone like Lyon tonight he would've killed it, numerous times where Nightigale and Gasnier were caught out and not once was it taken advantage of. The move for his first linebreak was sheer class, get him off the wing. Hodges was shit.
I thought Copley went OK. Dropped Lockyer's pass and was a bit raw catching contested bombs at the back, but other than that was fine. It certainly wasn't Reed's fault he didn't get enough ball though. Reed actually set him up. For the most part it seemed like Beale was running the ball to much (though he did look dangerous doing it).
You didn't seriously just say that did you... But yeh Beale pretty much did all the kick returns: Beale 15 kick returns (194m) Copley 4 kick returns (64m) Yow Yeh 0 kick returns They definitely saw a weakness in Beale.
Why do you love Copley so much? He dropped a ball that was basically to his chest with the line wide open. Mega shit cunt.
Justin was fair fail I thought, such a shit game by him. Didn't think Macca was bad, thought he was absolutely nailing it in the first half, died off a bit though.
Yeah, Hodges was pretty shit. Looked like he didn't wanna test out his hammy. Sugery? WTF is wrong with him?
lol one dropped ball that should have been caught but was by no means at the chest. If one dropped ball makes you a mega shit cunt fuck knows what you think of Hodges & Gillett. Was it four turnovers for Hodges last night? Pretty casual night at the office for him. Lets ignore Copley's metres, tackle busts and linebreaks shall we. For a natural centre playing wing he was far from shit.
You said it was thrown behind him, trying to make it Lockyers fault and not his. He dropped the cunt cold. I'm not going to argue what value Gillett and Hodges bring compared to Dale fucking Copley.
I never blamed Lockyer what a load of shit, Lockyer was in an awkward position to throw a spiral pass it was a very neat piece of play to get the ball away. Stop talking shit. I'm not asking you to compare them just wondering why one dropped ball all of a sudden has a massive effect on you yet your two favourite players are Gillett & Hodges lol.
You said in another post, the ball was thrown behind him. I take that as it was a bad pass. When it was basically on the cunts chest. One dropped ball hasn't had a sudden effect at all, I've always rated Copley as a below average player.
I did say it was a bad pass, again never denied that but I never said it was Lockyer's fault, you're just talking shit. Fair enough if you didn't rate him before this match but afaic we were talking about this match you're going off topic.
