No I don't. I'm not entitled to say the Tigers will finish 4th when they have one of the better packs in the comp, a very good backline and 2 of the best players in the league in the form of Benji and Farah.
Haha same. I used to say if the Broncos ever folded I'd jump on the Tigers, not anymore. Like Lukic but don't like his Tigers.
I will honestly stop being that "supposedly" biased until someone can explain why Ennis is better than Farah apart from his toughness and mongrel, which saw him back out from a fight with Sandow and have the most missed tackles of hookers.
Benji Marshall doesn't even look like he knows what he's doing half the time. He's just prancing around like a fairy, and the dumb opposition players somehow fail to tackle him. Eventually does some fluke pass and the commentators cream over it for the entire match.
Yeah totally. Not like a simple flick pass gets talked about by commentators for 10 minutes.. ....oh wait
So now flick passes aren't cool. That's alright, chip and chases which are actually more luck than skill being talked about for weeks and weeks is fine, but a flick pass in a pressure situation being talked for 10 minutes is ridiculous. Take the blue and yellow glasses off mate. Benji has more skill in his arsehole than any player on the Eels team bar Hayne and you're filthy. He carved your team up last year, and did so again last week. Marshall is the best 5/8 in the game, he's consistent, mature and he's over his injuries (partially career threatening, 4 shoulder surgiries and so on), however all you can say is he's overrated and shit. Marshall is gun and you simply can't admit it. Marshall should be the face of the NRL.
Nothing on Marshall at this stage. Watch a Tigers game very closely and you'll see how far Marshall has come.
Marshall tries the risky, show off play to much tbh. Sure, he's playing well and things are going his way but as soon as things dont, he falls apart tbh. Lockyer is so much more subtle and his influence on the game isnt matched by many people in the world tbh.
You're kidding yourself if you reckon a flick pass is anywhere near as skilled as a chip kick. A lot of chip kicks involve less luck than you think. If you kick it right, you can anticipate the bounce, which is what helps. Flick passes are just passing the ball out the back of the hand, which can be done just as easily without 'flicking' it out. It involves barely any skill, you just fail to recognise that because Marshall fails at anything but flick passes and running sideways. Also, where the **** did I bring the Eels into it? Sounds like you are being defensive and just trying to insult me with anything cause you know I am right. It's alright buddy, as long as Marshall keeps defending behind his wingers, he wont get another shoulder injury.
You haven't watched him lately. Marshall is one of the most influential players in the league. Seriously selling him short. Also risky? Look at the footage of him from last season through to so far this season. He's matured to an elite ball player, he takes no risks and settles the game down now. He's much much more mature than before. Saying he still goes for the risky is a crock of shit now.
A flick pass like the one to Ayshford takes way more skill than a chip kick. No sane man would dare try that. Take for example Hayne's chips against us. The one in rd 24 last year was absolute BS, if we had a proper fullback and not Moltzen, he'd have lost you the game with that. The one this year was Benji knocking the ball into his hands, otherwise Farah cleans up. Sure you can anticipate the bounce, but Hayne simply hasn't in those 2 instances. Also, Benji has missed 4 tackles and made 40 yet he's defending 3 in from the sideline. Stop making up shit to make your argument seem half credible.
The flick pass to Ayshford only worked because of the shit defender. If anyone else was there, it would have been intercepted and you'd have lost the game with that. So pretty much, two instances where Hayne caught the ball are classified as not anticipating the bounce? ! Ok buddy. You accuse me of making shit up? Right...
