Forwards aggression and the Captain

Snake just before he met Woodsy and told him this in person…

People make out it's just that easy, to work over an opposition forward.

If it was, they'd be dominating him physically anyway, from the get-go. James is no mouse, and if you start singling out players for special roughhouse attention, you are moving away from your gameplan.

It's all fair and good for square ups, legal or not, in park footy.

Exactly a good image of what I think of Mr Woods behaviour in this …bite the Tigers tale and just looks and grins,oh dear !and for the record I would have no hesitation of relaying my message in person as I said I am from a different era!

I remember watching a game earlier in the year and ever time Sam Burgess touched the ball Dylan Napa was there to smash him. All legal, all tough and took him out of the game. If Sue or someone else lined him up and took it upon themselves to get into him everytime he touched the ball this wouldn't have moved too far from the game plan. Problem is we don't have an enforcer. Watching Napa, Evans and Hargreaves today made me wich we had one of them. Evans being a Leichhardt Junior hurts even more. I know we can't keep them all but he is a good one.
Mongrel is something we have missed for years and I can't see any change in the future.

FYI woodsy and Ryan James are really good mates so I understand why he didn't lay the boot in

It's not about just walking up to Ryan James and putting one on his chin .
It's about rushing up in defence , sending four blokes at Ryan James and flattening him in a tackle …(making him feel some pain ).

Woods is supposed to be our leader , there was 20 mins left in the game after Teddy got belted and the boys didn't do squat !

So, when you cannot fault player effort (look at his stats) attack his hair/beard/personality/dog etc. What a bunch of snowflakes we have here :smiley:
Woods, Tedesco and Moses are attacked because they do not support our prima donna :crazy
Alegedly everyone was against our 'boys club', but when something was done about it, hypocrites cry foul, go figure. :bash

Yeah. This is Farahs fault too.. Of course it is.
We've finally hit rock bottom idiocy.
This post is so stupid that it's hilarious. :roll

Some sense at last.

We scored two tries and would have gone on to win the game but for some missed kicks at goal. That's how you get back at people - on the scoreboard.

We scored 2 trys. A better result then losing our heads, and getting one of our guys in trouble.

As I said.
Attempting to get back that way is a lot better than having someone throw a cheap shot and get themselves sin binned or suspended.
It's professional RL, not a 6th grade suburban comp.

I never said anything about a cheap shot, but what is wrong with our forwards firing up and belting James with some aggressive defence after seeing teddy with his mouth busted open

I think you guys are misunderstanding what some of us are saying, we are not saying throw a punch or a cheap dog shot but what was needed was for some of our forwards to put a shot on James… You do realise you can inflict pain on a football field legally? Even if one of the forwards got up in James' face after he hit Teddy and gave him a gob full would've been more than they did.. To add to that after James got penalised for his hit on JLJ a few minutes later (which I actually thought there wasn't anything in that penalty) the only player to even give James a gob full was Moses. Just disappointing to see this
