Ferguson v Mansour

[Insider]

Mansour craps all over Fergo right now.

Is Fergo really Fergo or is it Stuart Davis?

Ha Ha, Stuart Davis , the 2 iron with ears. Didn't even have a front door key they reckon, used to just slip under it.

Mate your arguments has more holes in them than a Swiss Cheese factory.

Fergo made 66m ...that does not equal a lot of effective dummy half carries. Dummy half and hit ups are a very big part of a wingers game these days.

I think it's easy to assume he let a large backrower to do the chasing. These days many backrowers are not much slower than wingers and some are quicker. Mansour probably made a poor decision then but as he was travelling one way (forward) and has to turn and chase being 5-10 metres off Gagai probably new he wouldn't get him. Frizell was supporting from inside moving at a different angle so easier for him to chase. Maybe from training Mansour knew Frizell has more wheels than him, maybe Mansour assumed cover will come too. It's easy to just say the winger didnt chase - inexcusable but neither did 10 others in the team including Jennings. Having said those mitigatingnfactors I will give the points to Fergo for that one.

You say most offensive plays went to the left but in another post you said Mansour didn't get ball because he played outside a shyte centre in Walker....so which one is it really mate?

Being quiet is not a good thing for an outside back in case he farks up lol.....see my first point.

What two tries did Mansour Co bomb with Jennings in Company? Jennings bombed two but Mansour didn't bomb them lol.

The 3 tries on the left edge were not Mansours fault....read my previous post if you can be bothered for some analysis. Applying that argument you would blame wingers for every try scored on left or right edge as obviously no other player who plays on the edge lol..thats absolutely laughable in a lot of cases. Eg 3rd Gagai try was almost impossible to defend and it's not up to the winger put pressure on the kicker 3 players in on that play.

The fact you said you don't care about the circumstances means you have not applied any analysis or thought to why the Cane Toads scored their tries and just blame the winger(s) and then added up the tally to see who conceded less.

I agree Fergo has more talent. It is perhaps why he is not playing as well as Mansour has less talent but has far more of a go.

By the way Cooper Cronk has less natural talent than Albert Kelly. It doesn't make him a inferior halfback.

Awesome analysis, I award thou with a dank meme...

No offence but your comment "Was he rubbish? No, he did his job. Sometimes being quiet is a good thing because it means you didn't fark anything up."
Was one of the more ridiculous comments of heard on this forum and that's saying something

On the positive side, I'm glad you enjoyed my meme

Seriously though, I stick by my comment. A lot of good players are 'quiet' because nobody remembers them doing anything amazing... they just plug away and get the job done. I think it's a fair call.

Fergo got 2 crucial penalties for us by doing fast dummy half plays that caught QLD off-guard. From each of those we got free metres and a tackle restart mid-way through the count.

Only one try was scored on his side... against QLD that suggests his defence was pretty tight.

Clearly he wasn't man of the match, but I don't think he looked out of place in the team.

Thanks man hahaha.

It's all good though we all see things differently and it's just footy..It's not that important, just a bit more than the meaning of life.

Hate to see a vanilla forum, we need more mindless rants.

Yours are not mindless, it's your thoughts and they flow. It's just that mine flow upstream. 😃

I agree that Fergo has lost some size/strength but stop putting him on the f**king wing! He's a centre.
Mansour v Tupou. Winner = Mansour.
But who should go is Peter O'Sullivan

And who's going to replace him?

All good mate.funmy how people can really have such differences of opinion when it comes to player performances.. Anyway it's just frustrating watching him this year when we all know what a superstar he is when he plays to his potential

When in form, Ferguson is clearly the better player. Unfortunately he has been very, very ordinary all year. Maybe it's what fatherhood does to you. Or maybe spending the entire off season training at fullback has affected his game. He lost a lot of weight to play fullback supposedly. Great experiment that was.

Fergo was better on Wednesday..... Current form is all I care about.

Haha...yep 2 iron with ears lol. His brother Marty was just as skinny but was useless whereas Stuart played ok for Manly but not too flash for us.

He is still a long way from his powerful best. Just hope Origin can bring back the confidence and swagger he had last year.

Well Mansour has just resigned with the panthers for 2 more years, so you can all stop licking the blokes asshole now

[Vasco]

Excellent news.

We need speed out wide.

[Kelby]

Gagai and O'Neil would do for speed.

[Danish]

ONeil? They guy who couldn't make up a yard on a 30+ year old Maloney over 90 the opposite of speed

You beat me to it. I can't believe how slow 0'Neil was. I expected him to catch Jimmy for sure. Couldn't even stop him from running around under the posts.
