Warren Ryan on Anasta

[Guest]

I know what you mean with the refs, but it wouldn't really involve counting. Anyone who's involved in the tackle becomes a marker - fairly easy to see if any of those involved in the tackle run off back to the defensive line. Might need some tweaking, but it's the best answer to discouraging gang tackles and wrestling that I've heard.

With all of our dummy half running though, 3 or 4 markers would work against us. Which would force us to run the ball!

Heresay, although we looked liked we enjoyed running the ball on Sunday?

But I agree it's the best idea I've heard (and only heard it via this thread) to combat the numbers in tackles.

Chook.

Back on topic... does anyone know if there is a stream of the call on the ABC site?

While I've been away, I've been listening to the games on ABC Grandstand and you can log in and listen to interviews etc a few days later. The Brian Smith one is still on the above link.

went something like this

"Thirsty" Morrow says "Won't the fans go beserk if Anasta scores a try today in his last home game for the club"

The Wok replies "I don't know about that, he's never done anything for them before. A very non-involved footballer, if ever there was one. If there's an option to pass to anyone, instead of running, he'll pass for sure. I don't know what he's going to offer the Tigers." Later on he went on to say that he had no idea how Anasta had lasted this long at the Roosters.

I don't think I've heard a commentator bag a player like that since The Wok got stuck into Finch after the 2004 grand final, including describing his game as "appalling"

Warren Ryan was being very kind to him. He can't even pass, let alone run.

I'll say this for Warren Ryan, he was the ONLY media person who expressed doubts about the fair-dinkumness of the 2010 grand final. He knew we'd been cheated out of it and he said so.

Do smith and ryan get on? I seem to recall them calling footy games together?

[Ray Stehr]

I remember years ago his wife brought domestic violence related charges against him.

His wife probably asked him for his autograph.

One More Week!

That's a shit idea.

The Wok knows better than you Greeds

Maybe, 20 years ago.

I actually pictured ryan on anasta and had to see the picts. I guess i am wrong about the true meaning of the topic

I can remember back when Fatty first started commentating he was threatened by a player with defamation action (I think it was Fatty). I think it was a Souths player. I think it was that blonde Kiwi winger that kicked goals and did not do much else. Crosson I think his name was. The commentator (once again I think it was Fatty but may be wrong) called him the worst winger he had ever seen or something along those lines and the week after that legal action was threatened by the player and manager against the commentator (and obviously whoever the broadcaster was - Ch 9 I think). Ever since then commentators have not been anywhere near as personal in their criticism, so the Woks comments surprise me. Although he is 100% correct.

Think the player you were referring to was Eion Crosson , was he was awful and he played for Cronulla , I laughed in his face one night and looking back it was a disrespectful stupid thing to do . But he was an ordinary player

Souths first, Anastabation.

The Wok has been pretty irrelevant for a long time now. Im pretty sure he just turns up and does voluntary work in the media...surely they wouldnt pay him.

Braith wouldnt be too concerned.

If you cant see what the Wok said is true then you must have no expectations what so ever of Anasta with that answer.

Anasta has been the worst player all season for the Roosters & yes I know he is a lovely honest good guy but his football this season has been NOWHERE near FG standard. He has been an embarrassment to the club this year.

Sorry, who are we talking about? That guy who's going to play for the Tigers next year.
