The word of the week is...

"Upstream".

"Upstream"; [iadj[/i.
To move towards an opponents try line, which is a small objective in the sport of Rugby League.

Did you not watch B n A last week , that was his word last week

Signals and sings in collision in the tackle , ie a fast PTB icon_lol.gif

Crosslines , ie passing the ball icon_lol.gif

Saints ' thinned them out ' early on and once they had stretched them they poured up the middle , ie they passed the ball long and then passed it short



It's the same play , except one was a pass the other a kick ,



That smart H / B , er ....... Robinson ' tags ' Guisset back into the PTB , he's done a double , nearly a treble , ie a set move with a couple of inside balls




A play for a play , WTF



All that zone [ 600 sq metres has to be covered by the F/B , who is new to the club , ie a kick which the F/B dropped as it landed straight on top of him



KR [ actually FC have lost the F/B, thay have fitzhenry in that false position , ie a bad kick icon_lol.gif

The full back is out of position [ actually off the pitch and Dobson a mini pendulum swings out the back and just covers it , ie Good coverage by Dobson




Who is covering the F/B [ who has just made a try saving tackle its Calderwood who has swung in to cover the kick [ except there was no kick its called a mini pendulum , ie one of your players gets to the ball before the opposition




Danny Brough pushes Evans in the face , ie Evans steps off the mark into Brough who pushes him back




Indicipline has cost the Wildcats 8 points , this is from Paul Cullen icon_lol.gif

I noticed that.

You could have watched a nature programme on migrating trout and they would not have mentioned the word as much as he did.

Once upon a time the word "straight" was acceptable. i.e. "he steps right and straightens up"

Then along came international coaching conferences and from then it was "he steps right then heads upstream!"

Ridiculous! Plain english has gone and its something that does my head in.

How many times in the phrase "arm wrestle" used? Whats wrong with the forward battle or similar?

I suspect they are often used as cliches by coaches who often want to suggest they know more than they actually do? I mean, "we knew we had to win the arm wrestle." What kind of comment is that????

The better coaches dont use them as often ive noticed.

Right -rant over!

i like cullen, me

He wins trophies.

With a team who should win every match with the money they spend but he does not he was a crap player and even worse coach.

Really does my head in

He described a player dropping in as a "pendulum" or "mini-pendulum." Definite phrase of the week for week.

Watching it again as it is so funny.

'Dobson, the mini pendulum, swings out the back.'

He said it again about Berrigan too.

Did you not know that when a hb comes to defend the kick that its a mini pendulum?

You know nothing about rl my friend

So when it's the hooker, due to the size difference, it's no longer a "mini pendulum" but moves up to a full "pendulum?"

He just said -

"That ball came off the field with a mini migraine. It covered every inch of the pitch, length and width".



He can't get any worse can he?

Correct



When it's Piggy Riddell then it's a double pendulum

It's a good job him and KFC don't have to do much pendulum work then.

The world will be a boring place if cullen spoke normal.

Quite evident that he is not a fan of Cas (nowt to do with him getting sacked after a defeat by us, no siree), absolutely terrible analysis. Quite amusing that no tries were shown from the Wakey v Cas game but quite a lot of Warrington's tries were shown, surely shome mishtake?

Typical SL ignorance, you should know better since Cas have often been in the National Leagues.

No it wouldn't be because he never got sacked.



Some people will never be happy. Cullen provides an entertaining commentary to his match, it's his job to talk up the game and his analogies seem perfect relevant to me..

Of course, if he was still coaching at Wire he'd be full of in my opinion but he's black and white now and I won't have a bad word said against him. Top bloke is Paul Cullen

You'd be surprised...

Whats with all this king Cullen bashing? you all need to the STFU and concentrate on your own less educated coaches.

He's better than errr, Martin, errr, Offiah

Sometimes 'entertaining' is laughing [iwith[/i. At other times...
