Tansey did better than I expected. Just the two loose carries/knock ons and only one of those gave the field position for the Sharks to score with the Sharks screwing up the other chance just before the break. I thought such dumb a[irse[/id play was reserved for the SL.

He was extremely unlucky to have his try chalked off after a terrible defensive read by the Sharks but it appears their video referees (Russell Smith?) have almost as many issues as ours do.

Yeah, Smith was the video ref. Although in the Wests - Bulldogs game Sunday a try was given when the exact same thing happened. Gus Gould was going mad about the consistancy.

Anyway on the Chook Pen (thier SS) they are all saying that when Mini comes back, Tansey should at least be on the bench if not fighting for a centre spot. 1 thing I have noticed is that he has bulked up a lot.

Agreed, he looks bulkier around the upper body. Minichello is weeks away from a return (isn't he?) so Tansey should see a bit of game time. Anasta spoke fairly highly of him in the post match interview aired on Setanta as well.

Actually, I could see it.

Course you could.

You could see nothing, but you could hear his mother screaming in your ear every time he did something....

.......or every time I had the temerity to leave my seat.

Now that you have moved all you you have to do is now get past that mild mannered fat bloke at the end of the isle

TBH I expected a different response from you about her screaming in your ear, but there you go...

You were wrong then and you're wrong now. Unless you're basing whether someone is good or not based on one game.

That wouldn't surprise me though.

I knew the lad had something. I based that on the 2 seasons he played in the first team.

NRL coach then signed him and he's starting to get game time.

NRL coach > you and most other members on here who slagged him last season

He's playing at a club who are not as good as Leeds Rhinos.

Like I said, you've been proved wrong.

the clubs in the nrl therefore they are better than leeds by default.

how have i been proved wrong, it's a matter of opinion.

You've been proved wrong because he's gone to a worse club to get game time. Even that game time is as a result of injuries, otherwise he'd still be playing for the reserves at a worse club than the one he left.

You just need to accept you were wrong all along. We knew that anyway though.

You didn't make a single post on here to that effect though did you?

I've not come along and started proclaiming I WAS RIGHT I WAS RIGHT I WAS RIGHT.

It was just a response to the post saying the coaches saw something our fans couldn't.

You saw nothing. Link please.

I'm pretty sure I did.

F*ck that.

I'm not going to trawl through, kifaru knows i was in favour of tansey (even if i am wrong, whatever)

Course not.

Tracey is not a woman to be messed with - her name still strikes fear into some of my work colleagues

Your memory is not great though is it?

Some weeks you forget if your a Saints or Leeds fan.

I'm a saints fan.

Yeah, a few away at least from what im led to believe. What the fans like over there though is his backing up around the ruck on top of his decent all round play at the mo. If the get the ball out in the tackle he'll score a few.

As for wether Sydney arent upto the standards of Leeds I would disagree. I think they are about on a par with each other. Both would be low top 8 teams in the NRL.
