MOM mystery

[Jacks Fur Coat]

BigMikeNewman has a stiffy for RTS.

And an Innie whenever he sees Mini play well.

I can still see why the coach re-signed Mini, RTS is so green it's not funny.

RTS had a mixed game. The pass behind Mini, and it was thrown behind him, was from RTS. He has brilliant footwork and fast feet but isn't fast over 50. Double Steamer is the opposite, takes a bit to wind up but in the clear is hard to run down. RTS can sure drop a bomb every week. But he also can do stuff very few players can dream of. Every week we catch a glimpse of brilliance.

I floated the idea that I could see him end up at 6 eventually and I stand by that but I believe he will play FB first, the roles are very similar these days. His defence is good for his size, I'm sure he could handle being in a couple in the line.

I'd still would like to look at Double Steamer at the back. I reckon he'd kill it.

Mini was MOM IMO.

BigMikeNewman is minisworstnightmare.

Minisworstnightmare lol...change your nic bigmick.

RSMN (see Stacey's sig) foundation...get on board.

But if mini was deeper the pass would have been perfect, don't these guys know exactly where someone else is going to throw the ball !!!!

True but the defense on the outside came fast and the line couldn't adjust. in hindsight RTS should have held on to it or lobbed the pass over but it's just one of those things, I don't blame anyone but other than the Balmain player read it well or may have been offside like they were all night.

I thought Toops was MOTM, but he's not a fb. He's a specialist winger, I'd even go far as to call him the best winger in the game, his running game is great, good in defence, his finishing is improving every week and his aerial ability is easily the best in the comp.

I'd say we move RTS to 6 when Latrell Mitchell comes through, he's supposedly the next big star and when he comes through Maloney would have probably gone.

RTS is good and should be in the team but at fullback, now??? no way. Even NZ don't think he's ready. Mini made a couple of good tackle t save tries especially that one in the first half when the Balmain player was thru and only had Mini to beat with 5m to go and Mini just swamped him. I have doubts that RTS is ready to be like that. Yes Mini will make mistakes but that's because he is so much involved and leading from the front. The more involvement the higher the chances to make mistakes. SBW is a good example of so much involvement and so many errors ATM.

Good post, mate

No one stood out for me as MOM but looking at the stats i wouldve gone with Maloney to be honest.

Not sure how Moa got it.

Good post, mate

Cheers mate!

Not sure how Moa got it.

Maybe because Moa was mistake free and put Richards in an ambulance. I couldn't tell Moa was playing cause my live stream feed into Brisbane was poor.

Is that the criteria these days?

Looking at the stats, in 47 minutes Moa made 83 metres (2 tackle breaks), with 22 tackles (1 missed, 4 ineffective).
He wasnt even the best front rower on the field, in 50 minutes, JWH made 125 metres, (1 offload, 1 line break assist), with 29 tackles (2 missed).

Maloney made 1 tackle bust, 1 line break, 2 line break assists and 3 try assists.
That is a match winning performance.

I said that Mini had a solid game. He wasn't anywhere near our best which I think is a fairly objective view.

You can try and blame the pass on RTS all you want but Mini was out of position and even then the pass should I been caught with an open line.

You guys are exactly like me but on the opposite side of the ledger. That's the funny part about it.

At least I can wrap Mini if he has a good game. I think your fingers would cramp if you tried to do the opposite.

Well on another thread you 'scoff, laugh, whatever' at the opinion of JTF for saying Mini had a good game and God forbid someone says something bad about RTS... Yet on this thread you say Mini had a solid game. On another you say that Mini was no where near a MOM performance, but if he had a 'solid' game like you say here, wouldn't that be a genuine MOM contender, especially since collectively it was a woeful game? I'm not tracking your comments but after reading them in threads I have also participated, I find your opinions inconsistent however there is consistency when it comes to making negative comments on Mini, week in, week out.
As for my opinion on RTS, well last night he had a few mistakes, for someone we're going to be relying on for a few years. Obviously it was the bomb he dropped, then he made a break in the first and when he came 1 on 1 with the fb, he just chocked and submitted so easily. Where was the side step? Then in the second he gets caught by a midget when we all think that RTS had speed to burn. I'm sure he dropped it again. I like RTS but I am believing that fullback and in defence he may not turn out what we are hoping him to be.

You're right, if I should scoff and laugh at a post it would be that one.

How one eyed do you have to be to try and pass off his line breaks as errors? You're reaching so hard that it is embarrassing. Can't always beat the fullback cleanly. He took the tackle and played the high percentage option. As for getting chased down by the midget, you'll find that like brooks is no slouch because of his light weight. That was a miracle tackle, one that could of just easily had him eating dust.

As for Mini, he was solid nothing more nothing less. Did some great things cancelled out by some bad errors. He was nowhere near MOM - same as a lot of others. I don't know what point you were trying to make with the whole scaling system. There were standouts but mini or RTS for that matter weren't them. I feel that RTS had more of an impact on the game than mini, which he did(if you look objectively). Which I why I found your post confusing, it's like you are me ( as backwards claims) but with a hard off for RTS.

Btw I think you'll find that the comment for JFC was in regards to mini being one of our best.

Agreed, as for RTS getting run down, Brooks only gets there because he dives. I never thought RTS was super fast but he is still decently quick. I feel he could have beaten the FB though, he should have stepped on the inside, just as I thought MJ should have sprinted for the corner instead of stepping inside.

He and Mini both played well, Mini was solid whereas RTS was rocks and diamonds.

I must have watched a different game, I thought Jake Friend was the best in a bad game.

Me too.

[Parkway_Drive]

Brooks is actually seriously quick, almost up there with Johnson and Kelly as the quickest 7s in the game.
