Anyone notice

Mack can you find out of all the tries we conceded this year which side has conceded the most. There lies my problem with SKD and Perrett.

Yesterday we missed 37 tackles and SKD missed 6 of them. I know you like your stats. That is 16% of our teams misses by our centre. The dogs targeted that side as they did in round one and we were exposed yet again. That is where teams target us and to date we have had no answer. Smithy rated our defense yesterday as a 1/10.

I can't give SKD BOD. He has had 16 games this year at centre and he has not improved his defensive reads and tackling techniques. He is the thorn in our defense. People will ask who else we have to replace him. I would rate BJ, Linnett and Graham as better overall centres than SKD.

Linnett and Graham are nowhere near as damaging in attack. not even close.

The dynamic contribution of my boy Nicky K off the bench.

Dally M points 9.5.
I take half a point off just because I dont want to seem biased.

Rock on Koupavuna.

A bit more work on his dummy half running and Nick could be the next Mark Soden.

Yes I know, you don't want to be putting him under immense pressure by tagging him as the next Soden, but something for Nick to work towards.

I dont think that is out of reach for our Nick.

Not at all.

In fact, I dont see him as the next "Soden."

I see him as the next Sedaris

Define damaging. What has SKD done this year that has been damaging?

Damaging is your Folau, Inglis, Jennings, Hayne, even Morris taught SKD a lesson on what damaging is in our two games. SKD doesn't come anywhere near close to dent let alone damaging. Overall as centres (in attack and defense) the other three have it over SKD.

If you can not see what SKD offers in attack then you don't watch the games..

The guy is as dumb as dogshit, and can not read in defence, but he does have something to offer in attack...

[BUDDY]

He offers nothing special PTB. OK he makes a break and then what? Like a dog chasing a car and not knowing what to do when the car stops. Playing centre is not just about making a break every now and then. He has no pass, he has no in-and-away, he hardly has a swerve. But more importantly, he offers NOTHING in defense. Contrary to what others may thing, he has used up all his potential.

People are knocking BJ and Linnett's defense. This bloke missed 6 tackles yesterday. Morris made him his bitch again.

[Pass the Ball]

I am not one of SKD's biggest fans...

But it is simply not true that he has no in and away, and no swerve..

An awful lot of defenders miss him..He busts a lot of tackles and consistantly runs the ball well over 100 meters a game..

I am happy to agree to disagree because I don't need to defend SKD's attacking qualities here...

[Cockadoodledoo]

Trew,

Hows your boy Mitch looking?

Better than Whickey.

The coach aint doing too badly either eh?

[Pass the Ball]

Who..?? Adrian Lam..??

[trewhella]

Listen you two morons
I predicted all this
You two cannot read.

With Brian Smith at the helm we will make the semis for 4 years.
We will also probably make a GF.
But we wont win one.

And if he gets another long term deal after 4 years then what is the point??

That is the last time for you morons, although I do agree with some of Pass the Balls comments. Unlike Cockadoodledoo, he does have an IQ higher than a Downie.

I can't understand the hate for Smith. Everywhere he has gone he has taken his sides frequently to prelim finals and grand finals. He has only been beaten by some very good sides. Pretty much an Origin side coached by Bennett and a great side led by Johns in his prime.

We were a rabble before he came here now we are competitive and playing an attacking brand of footy.

I've said already this year is probably out of reach for us but we have a great bunch of young players who will compete for premierships for years to come.

SKD attacking stats for the year
8 tries
11 line breaks
1 LB assist and no try assists

Excellent ball runner, up there with the best of them. Lacks assists but thats what you get when you can't pass to save your life.

To suggest he isn't damaging is utter nonsense.

I see him as the next Sedaris

I see him as the next Lew Zivanovic. He's so good he played with Wickey

p.s. SKD is pretty damn close to being the next Michael Sorridimi its not funny.

[trewhella]

nah

I see him as Steve Mavin without the fro.
