  1. Lewis does a lot of the little things that aren't on stat sheets. We seem better with him. Enough for mine.
  2. Fingers crossed
  3. When one says Colonies...one means ? So hard to keep up these days what !
  4. tbh I don't know how you separate those elements. Is it not surely that he HAS been a 4 time premier...B & F etc etc that IS why he is who he is and colours that which he brings ? He's already bringing "it". IT is starting to wash off on the others ( that need it or can use it ) The more he instructs, and the more others listen then the less he needs to instruct and they will just start doing of own accord...after they "get it " These games of sport are often only differing of one side to another by way of a collection of nuances. The knowing of where to be ( and not )..an understanding of a difference of meters to being effective and being in the way. The likes of Lewis are gold..I hope we can always find room for someone who has these qualities to constantly refine our own abilities. Good teams never stop learning/evolving
  5. Oscar, credit where due , played a pearler. He had a lot of company also as it was a commensurate team effort today. He certainly contributed. Keep going. One swallow does not a summer make, neither two a swoop but ... Definitely maintaining an improvement. Next game awaits
  6. A few more my just 'get it' after today
  7. Oscar has most definitely benefited from list shortages. Not entirely a bad thing .
  8. Didn't find it appealing and gave you the slip ?
  9. This CBA wait is a crock for mine. All parties know whats on offer.
  10. So is Jake a Lever or a ...non-lever ?
  11. The Generals are seldom the youngest or the quickest but more often than not, the most astute. I could only wish Lewis had the performance of his better days (@clarkotown) but he still brings buckets of nouse. There'll come the day to hang up the boots. Not there yet.
  12. Why does Tortoise and Hare come to mind ....
  13. There's no I in team...but there's 'mate' I think Michael is among mates. We're slowly starting to play like a team of mates. Reminds me a little bit of a 'flying carpet' . Not glamorous but effective.
  14. Not allowed to paste complete articles. Copying 'bits' is fair go...with acknowledging source
  15. I dont watch fox... can't remember the last time i bothered with SEN I have two eyes and hands that can convince a remote to obey. Yet my view would be very similar to RPFC the non-obvious values. We also seem to play better with him than without. Happy to see how it pans out.
  16. More please
  17. Yep...no 'stats' awarded for that either. There's a lot of subtlety in many things he does.
  18. Chris , what you describe is fair. For some ( myself included) that's requisite of a job done ok. Nothing warranting the fanfare being offered. He did ok in the second half. The first was nothing to write home about indeed the 1st qtr was lamentable. He has a long way still to go before , if indeed does, becoming a more than decent back of note. Many might have that as a card marked. It's purely obsevational and various opinions drawn. Playing an ok game is not the be all. Playing well is the bar. When/if Oscar plays a whole game OK that will be another step up. Still...in all fairness, there's a lot of his teammates yet to play a whole game. When he does, when the team does we'll be far more accomplished and successful. Ill take the 4 points and a nod to those improving. Oscar did ok... eventually. Thats better for sure than not.
  19. Id concur. His first half all but single handedly ( or rather... single footedly ) paved a way for a loss. His second half, whilst being his best was just adequate ( look it up folks ). Commensurate with doing a job , neither exceptional nor poorly. ( Yes arguably an improvement ) No idea what some fawn over. Has still a long way to go.
  20. Shlt happens. Not to suggest Gus is....just his bad run of luck. But what is...is I'd like Gus up and firing. I'd like Lever in our backline. Shlt happens
  21. Hardly his fault. Did his job properly...unlike some perhaps. Until Jakes signs with crows..is a possibility..if not a probability
  22. Or does it ? I would agree his 'price' is steadily climbing Am waiting for the std rollout of 'announcements' Does he stall or not ?
  23. Panahi far from being a loose cannon is a very informed and motivated commentor. No scattergun here. Gil would be wise to be most respectful of her.
