Explain to me how we are going to stop Beams, Pendles, Swan, Sidebottom. The way Macaffer is going it’s a safer bet he ill impact the performance of one of our mids most likely the skipper. We're always a show when Brettie makes predictions like the above. Quote Selected

Re: R7. Blues V Pies Reply #47 – April 28, 2014, 01:40:48 pm No doubt the Pies will be a very tough gig, but after what we saw last Sat, if we could repeat that, we be at least show. Go blues - for inspiration, just think of the look on Eddie McDropPunt's face if we pull it off! Quote Selected

We flip-flop too much within games.....hence we are where we are..... Quote Selected
Re: R7. Blues V Pies Reply #50 – April 28, 2014, 05:03:25 pm Hearing Suntan Wallace referring to H/O by his new name was a little vomit worthy. No disrespect intended to Heritier but gee its hard to get used to. Anyway blues by 10,000 points Quote Selected
Re: R7. Blues V Pies Reply #51 – April 28, 2014, 06:43:38 pm Looks like you still need some convincing Brettie. so I'll start.Warnock. All of a sudden he's in career best and AA form. In the last two weeks he's beaten an AA ruckman and the best combo in the comp. Wayne Johnson said at the start of the season that he would be the key and its looking that way. He has the number one spot locked in for the first time at the club and his confidence is showing it.I'll give you more reasons later but that's a good start. Quote Selected

Re: R7. Blues V Pies Reply #57 – April 28, 2014, 07:22:40 pm Warnock's been good.Having him (effectively) solo also allows us to have one more runner/utility. Quote Selected

Warnock's work when it mattered in the last quarter was better than that though.Can't fault that!I agree that some of Warnock's ruckwork was very good and virtually created clearances for us. However, he was up against one of the best contemporary rucks and an unfit and out of form athletic freak. Casboult was a bit of a non-event in ruck contests so Warnock effectively took on both Cox and Natanui and it's not surprising that they took the points. Warnock has to be given credit for his performance though. Quote Selected
Re: R7. Blues V Pies Reply #59 – April 28, 2014, 07:34:30 pm Warnock is good enough IMO. If we are looking for areas we need to improve on he is not the highest priority by a long shot! Quote Selected
