Just do a ctrl F "Archer" for the highlights mate.
Really need a horn emoji, doesn't quite cut it.

Not much. I tried to rile Rabs up with some downvotes, but was only moderately successful.

Ol' Fiona gave us enough ammo from the outset that we hadn't gotten around to the blokes being blokes stage yet

I knew it, a crazy cat lady runs fanhub. Its all starting to make sense now

I guess it would be pretty stress free if you disabled most of the features on launch

Yeah, if it's not working and you're reconciled to not doing anything to make it work then I imagine you would be pretty zen.

I tried CTRL F and got

Really happy with that score from Dufty given he wasn't very active at all, only seemed to have 3 or 4 touches but one of those bursts was electric. If they can start using him more he should be good. Wasn't even much part of the scoring festivities for that score either.

He wasn't exactly sniffing around for opportunities though which especially with those big strong forwards he can start to do. In saying that he also didn't get much opportunity with kick returns which won't be the case every week.

Has some tackle busts in him for sure.

How did Aitken look chaps? Wasn't able to watch the game.

With a try was maybe expecting more....

Cheers

Aitken looked strong, made some physical tackles and they got him some ball.

Looked plenty greedy when he did get it too.

Surprised he didn't score higher.

Tough place to go Rd1, hoping he can keep his spot and the effort up.

Should score higher against some poorer teams

Shouldn’t be too tough going to Kogarah your home ground!!

Anyways, agree he looked good and regretting a bit already my Inglis nostalgia pick!

Haha oh so it was, I didn't see the game and assumed the Broncos would get a home draw first up

The problem with all the Dragons players is that unless they scored tries they all scored well under what they normally would. This was due to high possession compared to broncos and the time in play would have been down also. Broncos dropped a lot of ball but I guess the Dragons were rusty also. Therefore tackles were well down, especially for the Dragons. Any normal game I think Aitken would have had 1 or 2 more runs and maybe 5 more tackles and would have hit 50, and probably the same for Vaughan. JDB would have only got 41 points had he not got the try. LAM and TPJ were very impressive. Be interesting to see TPJ's minutes, but seemed to get around 40 or even less.

So Cannonfodders original tweet was her own choice, what made her do that ? Am i missing something ?  How could she be involved in the past couple of years and then think tjus seasons kickoff has been good ?   The whole things a troll, no way.

How long do some of us put up with this before genuinely losing interest altogether ?

Rabbit wrote:I just watched the first half again. Under the normal tackling criteria, McInnes made 29 tackles in the first half. None missed. Effective tackles. Often 3rd man in around the legs, but tackles that would have been counted last year and any year previously. So, either they have changed the criteria or they have seriously fucked up. If they have changed the criteria, I pity you smith owners.....or will they treat him differently? Time will tell I guess.

Milch. Do you actually watch the games or just look at stats? I’m serious.

Hi Rabs.

Sometimes I only watch the stats, but being first game of the year I watched this one. But I did so with my tablet out posting on this forum and checking facebook at the same time, so I wasn't paying 100% attention. Certainly I can't count stats for 34 players. I tried to keep en eye on James Graham as he was a player I was interested in following.

I happen to know that 3 separate stats companies did watch the games though

STATS thought McInnes made 31 tackles
Champion Data thought McInnes made 30 tackles
Fox Sports thought McInnes made 27 tackles (Fox sports are generally less likely to reward 3rd man in
Some old guy on a couch thought McInnes made 50+ tackles

Who is the odd one out?

Any news on Vaughan's ribcage?

I came "2nd" in the moneyball target comp, but should have paid more attention to the comp rules because I was still 200 points short of actually winning anything

KNik.... Panic? That's the last time I try to go for a POD half lol but maybe he bombed because of the Broncos performance. They were terrible! I have a feeling it started from Thaiday but maybe I'm wrong... Lodge went okay, shaking out the old cobwebs.

How great would it be if the fanatics had input into the fantasy app and FanHub?
