General NSW Cup 2025

I don't care about that! We don't need three of the same player, and of the three he's by far the worse.

Out of who??

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Out of who??

Barnett and JF Harris God you could even throw Vaimauga in there.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Barnett and JF Harris

none of those three players are the same.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

none of those three players are the same.

Body shape they are.

MGT is awesome in Cup. But whenever he's stepped up to 1st grade he's been bog average. Which doesn't say much when you consider Kosi keeps getting a run.

But Webby says he patient. Metcalf can have weeks in a row.

Halves need time but more importantly go forward from their forwards
Last night is absolutely proof

Geez Sky have scraped the commentary barrel barer than I ever imagined they could. This NSW Cup build up is excruciating. Tom Ayle. Fuck me, was there any prep at all.

No argument there

Lay a tower?
Vayamownga?
Irra meea toe ee arva?

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Great start. Two great runs from Ayle

I remember an interview of Darren Lockyer a while ago but after those dominant Queensland origin years.

He recalled a game they were losing against NSW with bugger all time left with nothing shaping up that could win the game. His move?

He said to Thurston.....can you do something?

So he passed it to JT who ran on the outside shoulder of his opposite, dummied, broke the line and seconds later. Try scored and game won.

That. That is what a great half can do.

 

[Inruin]

Bit unlucky there. Thought it was a manly knock on for that try

 

[Canonball]

Yeah, surely that was played on by Matterson

And JT took a long time to become as good as he was.
Apprenticeship with the dogs and then further time with the Cowboys before becoming eliite.
At the Cowboys he was following up behind Taumolo at his peak

 

[Ever Hopeful]

That was easy for Manly

No IQ in this cup team. Doyle is a waste of a spot a junior could be filling. Laban looks far too casual. These boys don't look like they want to win.

Kosi. My god. Dropped off the scrum. Has to be shown the door.

 

[Inruin]

Kosi. My god. Dropped off the scrum. Has to be shown the door.

Just too many basic errors from him. All the time

Maybe Laban is huffy that he's below Niukore and Capewell. And Leka. And Demetric

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Berry works really hard. Kick chase, tackle on tackle. He is definitely dedicated enough to make the most of his talent. The big question is whether he is talented enough.
