it is co-incidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

For some inexplicable reason Koopashitsme starts the game at Hooker, we had slow ball distribution, no organisation, no go forward, no meters from dummy half and a piss poor kicking game.

Enter jake Friend, totally changed the pace of the game, started to get the forwards rolling ahead, giving the backs plenty of time with the ball and nice metres from dummy half.

koopashitsme is a farken waste of space and add that chicken fillet winger graham, as useful as a eunich in a brothel.

Please SMith dump these 2 useless fools

On a positive note it was great to beat those diving grubby cretons, stewert should get at least 6 weeks for that disgraceful hit on Anasta, plasticine men matai and whatnow falling over at every opportunity

Suck shit Womanly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone was poor in the first half, and I think it stretches credulity to put it all down to one player.

Koops has done a job for us this year, as has Graham. I'm sure they're not seen as long term propositions, but they've been vital cogs in this season's wheel.

If they are vital cogs in this seasons wheel then we are well and truelly FAARRRKKED!

Agreed. Gus Gould made two telling comments about Ford and Graham today and I thought he was spot on - in a nutshell he called both soft.

How so? They've both been in the team all year, and we're in the top 5.

For starters, we're 6th.....and secondly, if you think that these passengers have been anything but disgraceful, then you're delusional!

How so???...I'll tell you.....
That garbage just won't cut it at the business end of the season!!

it was part of the grand plan

Koups was players player.
The Nick statue aint that far away, believe you me!!!

Pretty obvious Smith was trying to protect Friend from an expected physical start to the game.

Churchillian.

The way I saw it, Koups starting allowed Friend to come on and cause damage once Manly's forwards got tired. In the end it worked.

It isn't his fault that he keeps getting picked in the 17 each week.

And Graham... am I missing something? Okay there are better players out there, but what is wrong with him?

The same guys were bashing SKD last season while I was saying "he is alright actually..."

Koups is a solid player. While he is no game changer, I can think of far worse players. Same with Graham... let the flames begin.

Too right. Graham is just as likely to run 90 metres to win us a semi final as he is to make a crucial mistake. You gotta take the good with the bad.

He's channeling the ghosts of Rooster-flyers past like Toddy Byrne and Ivan Cleary.
