distantdog Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 21 minutes ago, doggystyle said: I only caught the second half on the wireless but have to confirm the reports on Farrell. They really emphasised how greedy he was, how team mates were lining up and he chose (in their opinion wrongly) to take the tackle and how we would have scored a lot sooner had he passed. Just some commentators opinions but to the guys that saw the game this is what us listeners had to take on board. Maybe, but I would think only once he didn't pass when he should have. Generally speaking, seeing him in the flesh so to speak, he was a breath of fresh air - an opinion shared by many others who were there if the votes above are anything to go by. Anyway, all just opinions. I will be delighted if he does more of the same on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggystyle Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Only confirming that what phildog heard on the radio was true, as in was actually said. So nobody goes to town on him. Two seasons back I said Farrell could be in SL if he sorted his attitude. Maybe Disco can channel that aggression and bring out the best in the lad. Hope so, and sounds like he's well on his way from attending fans' reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy's mate Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I don't recognise that DS there were only the one occasion imo when he should have passed but instead tried to dummy his man and I guess he just wanted to open his debut with a score! And when you consider it's his first competitive match since last year I thought he was excellent and even held his temper when targeted by the Seagulls players especially Blackmore Touch Rugby W(h)inger and part-time Super Hero (Thursday mornings by appointment) BATLEY BULLDOGS RLFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggystyle Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Oh I can imagine Big Baby Ben having a meltdown at losing. Once again, can only state what us listeners heard. All the better for us if Joel wasn't as greedy as they made out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverback Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 i really think anyone who dident make the game needs to grab a dvd to see just how good we were,forget the wireless there paid to make most a things and sound as thou they know everything. have a check just how fast farrell was going and the speed of support from scotty,then think the lad might a just wanted to be safe first game for a while and he did right. i dont buy into all this sheffield were a bit off rubbish, we played some superb flowing rugby and some massive tackles from the kickoff, i for one were well suited with changes within 7 days. likes been said were a squad thats going to gell more and shirts will be fought hard for so some cracking rugbys to come this season for sure. i dare say we will lose a few more along the way but things will be fine for 2017, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Garforth Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 By my count the vote is very close between Farrell, Day, and Southernwood. With Gledhill and Holmes not too far behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so surely they would have something to say about the camera being positioned so that post(s) block the view of chunks of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Just watching the video now, second half just starting, tight for decision yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Phew I might have to watch it again, very tight. The tackling was certainly very keen and non of that airy fairy stuff from last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Right decision time, 1, Farrell, if that's what he was like first time out, what's he going to be like when he is used to them. 2, Gledhill, immense no nonsence stuff. 3, Holmes, good vision and not frightened of spreading the ball either side. On Sundays showing we could have filled 1-6. I also liked how Brambani was talking to them all the time, and that fella that kept running on and out did the Sheff fella, I think it was Mauni, lol.
