He definitely has a decent kicking game, him and Lamb aren't no slouches at all. Won't be surprised if Ponga takes a little bit more of the responsibility though.

Anyone here heading down to the game? It'll be my first time at Brooky and I'm keen as!

Thinking about going down with my son, it really is a sh*thouse ground though. thinking of booking on sid foggs $32pp return. $64 for us both. i couldnt drive there and pay to park for that price. ive bought an overpriced grandstand ticket everytime ive been and regretted it each time so think i might sit on the hill and look for some fellow supporters.
 
I might be going to this one. Never been to Brooky.

The facilities might be sh!thouse, pun intended, but gates only open at 4:30 and kickoff is at 6 so not a long time to hold on.

Edit, might hold off until Thursday to check weather, at the moment, 50% chance of rain during game according to google.

Funny how due to circumstances games you are expected to win are a real worry, rather be playing top side, little chance of win but hoping and thinking upset is on, not so this week. The doom and gloom with Manly is too much, hurry up and get it over with, us by 4 or Manly by 24, worried! Of course not.
 
I think Brown not letting Cogger go has worked out to be a master stoke.

He copped a bit for “holding” him back. And probably deserves a mention. But with Lamb stinking it up it’s worked out well.
 
What i'm finding odd is the Watson talk has suddenly stopped.
For 6 months everyone has been telling me how good he is, and now we need a half to step up, and the players are saying they have faith in ...... Cogger, the coach is saying the guy who must own the side is ..... Cogger, and all the talk on here is about ....... Cogger.
I mean, I think Watson is a claytons half (the half you have when you don't have a half), but a lot of people have seemed pretty keen on him till, you know, we need a half to do a job.

Do you really find it odd? Or are you just trying to have another backhanded swipe at the non-local? No ones talking about him because his role isn't changing.

More common sense compared to our lack of depth and straight forward for any club lol

I’d say keeping Cogger has impacted Lanmb’s Form.

Gees you guys paint lamb as sensative. First his upset Pearce signing then being off the bench than starting than not first reciever than upset because we kept another half on the books.

Can just picture his head on ur laps and running hands through hair.

Who was the joke who suggested moving pearce out of first reciever for him?

Billy just let up mate. If lambs good enough he can make himself impossible not to pick. Each game this year he was a horrible in attack and worse in defence.

Come on mate We all know Watson wasn't brought here to be a halfback or a dominant half or a general on the field , he was brought here as a ball running 5/8 he was never supposed to be the general on the field that was supposed to be Lambs job .. Of course Lamb would have to be in first grade for that to happen. Then we bought Pearce who is the general we needed ..
The talk is all about Cogger because Pearce is injured and Lamb isn't up to 1st grade standard at the moment i know you don't like that because he is a local but that's the way it is , it would be good if Lamb was up to where we need him to be but at the moment he isn't so all the talk is about Cogger because we are all hoping he is there ...
