friday night footy discussion

They've worn it a few times. Sort of a celebration of their mining heritage I believe.

As for Souffs, Inglis is the ultimate flat track bully. If the forwards get a roll on then he'll kill you. But if not, he doesn't have any distinguishable football skills like a Hayne or Slater to beat you in other ways.

He's a tremendously powerful athlete, but not even close to an Immortal. That won't stop all the media sucking his wang though.

The thing I have learned in the first 4 weeks of this season is that as devastating an attacking player as Greg Inglis is, his online, 1 on 1 defence is very very ordinary.

I wonder whether this will be mentioned in today's papers?

And how much of a gun is Reece Robinson. I posted on here a while back I'd love to pick him up if Canberra let him go. He is pure footballer. When he filled in at fullback for Canberra a few yrs back due to an injury he was devastating. Absolutely killed them playing like a second 5/8.

On to today's match....

I always had a challenge with the Knights using our colours. Today, WTF, have they become the Tigers? Check out theuir colours. Talk about a club with no identity

Not sure about identity but the biggest shocker for me was when the Broncos had that away strip of......Crikey I don't know how to describe it. Light blue, greeny, turquoise piece of rubbish.

Inglis in cover defence close to the line is a wood duck if you can change direction. It seems to me that he is mentally scarred by knee injuries because he won't change direction quickly when he comes across.

His effort on Toups when we played them was an embarrassment.
