I dont know how u can say gibbs is good he drops the ball and he doesnt do anything..

I am not talking about their football skills. Read my post again then put your brain into gear before you speak. :unamused:

I know that im just talking in general everyone says how good gibbs is.. I dont know how he made City over Heightington who has been in much better form then gibbs this yer.

bit difficult to compare but anyway heighno is considered country played with them before so he is not eligible

Heighno is Country.

Dean Young was chosen in front of him which is far more confounding.

As for City the only time they looked good was when Galloway & Gibbs were on the field

Yep Rhino is country as he is from that rural township called Umina… It's probably closer to Sydney than Campbelltown 😱pen_mouth:

Boundaries were drawn back in the day.

Do people remember how long it took to drive to the CC? The toll plaza at Cowan? It was well & truly country really until the mid to late 80's

I'd say regional more than country!

Toll plaza was at Berowra and the Berowra to Wahroonga bit didn't affect me since I lived at Berowra anyway. Trip time is about the same from that point as it is now, the new bit saves you 15 minutes or so for avoiding Hornsby. Mooney Mooney bridge saves a bit of time now as well. Berowra to Budgewoi used to be an hour, now it takes 45-50 minutes.

And it's country more so because Central Coast district is a CRL affiliated zone more than the distance. Berowra once threatened to leave North Sydney and join CC so it would have been classed as Country too!

I remember the 1 lane dog track in places that was the Pacific Highway.

Regional is probably a better call though

Fifita has come along very well over the last 2 years. Again, he was good for Wests during the bye last weekend although made the mistake of rushing up on Taumata late in the game and paid the price for it. He took 3 defenders with him everytime he ran the ball though and left Taumata eating grass in the first half when he swatted him for his try.

Another off-season in the gym under Folkes will improve his physique even further. David has a ways to go before he gets near Andrew, he's carrying a bit more pork around the waist and doesn't hit the line as hard as Andrew.

he reminds me of quinton pongia, anyone agree?

POTENTIAL AND ARTHUR BEETSON ARE AT DIFFERENT ENDS OF THE UNIVERSE PAL.WHILE I ALSO HAVE HUGE WRAPS ON THIS "KID" HE HAS ONLY PLAYED A HANDFUL OF GAMES SO DONT GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF AND UTTER THE NAME BEETSON IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS FIFITA JUST YET.

Good grief I know how to find 'em. The forwards in Arthur Beetson's era were all tough and about making meters. Arthur Beetson was an attacking front rower who possessed exceptional ball skills and was successful in what he did for a long period of time. All the forwards in the NRL ( I cant think of anyone else at the moment who isnt) are all about making as many meters as possible. Andrew Fifita is an attacking front rower with exceptional ball skills. See the similarities? All I'm asking is has Andrew Fifita got the ability to be as successful as Arthur Beetson for the same amount of time?

Was that better "pal?"

Are you even old enough to remember Quentin Pongia?

Pacific Highway is as it was! Thankfully in my youth the F3 was in place at least as far as Berowra. It was 60c toll as I remember.

I do miss the Oak shop at Peats Ridge though…

No he doesn't remind me of Quentin Pongia. Are you even old enough to remember him?

I said in another thread he reminds me of a young Steve Roach. He may even be a better runner of the ball than blocker was. I have said it before but re-signing this guy to a long term contract must be our highest priority. Young props like him don't come along very often.

 

[ron_burgandy]

yes i am

 

[Chris]

Oh ok…. I just got the impression you were younger.
