That prelim Timmy brought up is the best game I've seen on TV, the way they separated the crowds either side of halfway looked amazing and it was basically 80k sellout. I've been to a few better games like 04 GF, 05 origin decider, and the double header to open Stadium Australia, but the 09 Prelim is definitely the best TV spectacle I've seen.
It would be amazing to see Dogs vs Dragons in a prelim this year but very unlikely.
Knights
Lucas is too big, gets exposed and doesn't create anything would be better to have him at left backrower
Agree with Guru
Outside backs suck unfortunately
Hastings on the outer
Cogger does NOTHING
Recruitment sucks it's terrible
Where are all them warriors fans that came out the woodworks last year ??? 😂😂😂ready set CRY
Dogs should be top 4, Burtons missed conversions cost them plenty this season.
Love Ethan strong
Very bold shout guru regarding Crichton…but agree with Timmy, you got rocks in your head. By the same logic you could say the same about Luai / To’o. All world class players but not seen enough to be adding him to a list of goats
Guru with the call of the show (without going around in circles)haha thats kemps method of podcasting
Broncos had there souls taken by Penrith last year and theyve gone to water that’s what happened
“Against a full-strength Penrith side”
It’s crazy to say as a Penrith fan but it’s disappointing to hear you not only give us half the coverage than the team we played but also to just do nothing but praise the team. You started the season trying to convince us that you were going to be more critical when discussing Penrith and here’s a game where they struggle to beat a much lesser side at home and instead of delving into any potential issues or cobwebs you just suck them off. Give us the detailed reviews other teams get.
Tom Goodyearden 😂
Do you think we are not to be surprised by the Dolphins this year as they are always in the game and don't bet themselves? Yes I agree, Roosters should have won more convincingly but the Dolphins always turn up every game.
Panthers back up hooker is Luke Sommerton.
“Kp didn’t get the ball” literally gets the most runs on the team. lol guys so wrong.
I think you guys are forgetting that the cowboys had only just played in the sunday arvo before with a tough game ahainst the sharks, and then had to back it up 4 full days later? No wonder they got complacent and took their foot off the gas
Full strength Panthers side 😂 missing 2 of our best players but whatever 😂
Week 2 of requesting the punishment being the loser has to mow the winners lawn in a Sunday dress.
the best ability… is availability
Gotta disagree that Mariner is one of the best young talents in the game. His potential is almost limitless, but his performances all year have been disastrous, with the exception of a few crazy tries which a lot of people seem to focus on. His defence has been utterly pathetic and the silly fumbles he makes week in week out are just inexcusable.
I fully appreciate minds may differ, but in my opinion you cant be classified as one of the best if you dont have focus or defensive effort.
When I see "Hammy" I skip forward
AJ could play lock and Randal 9 if verills out
JoJo was fastest school boy in Australia
Until the Tigers get off the bottom of the ladder, Hammy should show some respect and stop calling them the Dargons
Dolphins didn’t exist 2 years ago? Classic NSW arrogance
from a Parra fan its been a tough year but thank you for just talking some common sense about the recent recruitment losses. To many fans broken by the years results not seeing clearly.
If kevvie goes? Who is next in line? Not much in the market? 🤔
Jye gray defending in the line would be child abuse
The backline depth man you missed for penrith is Asu Kepaoa, he has been carving up cup in a shock to nobody. Looks a class above in cup wether it's on the wing or at centre
Bull dogs, bunnies, cowboys, titans they all need sevens. He would take all of them to another level. He would make bull dogs and cow boys real contenders
Wahs lack X factor thru their spine. Not being able to finish plays and break plays open from nothing. That’s why I thought they would better fit with Rojer out the back. Who will just break the game open from nothing. Sj is not last year sj. He is more like Chad townend, Adam Reynolds. Just game managing. But no one in the spine is just scary with the ball. No step, no fend. No spark. Except ronjer but he doesn’t touch the ball
Convenient that there was no chat about Yeo and Tagos high shots that went basically unpunished even though they were massive points in the game
Spot on with broncos and warriors analysis. The last month the wheels have really come off and both coaches need to be tougher
Sharks was not a “good solid win”… they are useless, they are pretender’s
Kempy surely as punishment gets a goatee beard and has to look like Clarkey
Lads, on the knights: our genious coach adam obrien has basically said the last few weeks in press conferences etc that the team has basically been instructed to play this boring conservitive way and that regardless of the fans thoughts on it they’re sticking with it… one of the most exciting players in the world at fullback and they’re being told to just take 5 hitups and put up nothing kicks and not contest them… it’s a tough gig as a newcastle fan.
I must admit that it is difficult to have the best analysis on every team and every game so you are forgiven for not seeing the same depth of knowledge that a die hard fan does (you also don't have a bias like most fans have for their team) .
I'm no expert on footy but I am a Roosters expert lol. The game changed when Collins and Radley came off for HIA. Before that the chooks were cruising. When the chooks wrestled the game back they were well and truly in control. Keiry was starting with a smart kick to the corner and then there was the travesty of the Manu sin Bin. The reefs are getting this wrong game by game and it's orchestrating closer results.
Negatives to watch out for; two weeks in a row the chooks gave up a try from dummy half. The markers need to stay square and not let the man playing the ball to be a factor in stopping the dummy half.
Focus from marker, hold onto the ball and stop getting sin bins and chooks can come close this year. Panthers comp to lose imo.
That Dwayne Bennet segment getting shorter! You love to see it
You gotta make a trip up to tsv for the Cowbs V Broncs one time. Go to the cowboys leagues club before the game and walk with the "steampede"
Are we not going to talk about the Raiders drummer getting assaulted by dogs fans post game?!? It's easy to say how great the atmosphere was, when you ignore the dark side of it. You need to cover the tough topics as well boys. This sort of behaviour has no place in our game
Critta might not have been better than GI but that’s in retrospect also being apart of that Maroons 8 in a row inflates him way beyond what his club career ever could. Because GI was apart of a Storm system that cheated its way to retaining premiership rosters & elite talent.
But arguement is Critta has done more than Mal at the same age tell me I’m wrong? Also Kempy nobody at all is questioning Lockyer mate not even us in NSW
Also if a player is sent ffs I think 18th man is activated after 10 mins. They cop an extra few weeks and bugger monetary fine. End of story and games won’t get ruined fixed
Excellent podcast
