Can't believe this thread hasn't been bumped.......played great last night, tough as nails, should shut the knockers up for one more week. :whistle

X will be in shortly to tell us how poo he was and that he'll be out of the side in a few weeks once grimes is up to speed


facts are he failed again last night
nick gave him a bath and not because he is an aerobic beast beut because rance is dumb and has no idea where to put his body
always caught out of postion


u guys see the one or two flashy things he does and think whao he is a gun, but u all fail to see hoe he effs up the simple things

im not talking about the ball that bounced over his head , thats was bad luck but too many times he fluffs the simple things and gets caught out

he will not be a premiership player for us under pressure he is no good and he is a shockingf decision maker

by yrs end griff and astbury will be ahead of him if grimes can stay fit

This is almost as good as last season when Foley played a blinder, got 35 touches and you had him as w.o.g  ;D

ftr I dont think he's flashy, I think ppl remember his 1-2 benny hill moments each game and label him with it. He does a lot more good out there and think if he cut out those silly mistakes like slipping over and not keeping his feet, he'd be a gun. His kicking and decision making has improved heaps and isnt a concern for me anymore

X are you sure you weren't watching a replay of the game in 2009? Rance was great. Had some excellent spoils and applied pressure all night.

Stephen Hawking just crossed the road to ask me if OER is a tunnel to an alternate reality after noticing that X was actually watching the same game, but different.

I am a huge Rance fan but last night wasn't a good one for him.

IMO He gave Nick Sookie Sookie too much of a head start on the lead. It seemed to me that Alex thought he'd be able to make up the start with his closing speed. Great in theory but old Nick can still use his big rump to gain an advantage in a marking contest. Just thought he should of played with a bit more touch/feel on his opponent, which is something old Nick has never liked

He wasn't terrible because he stuck to his task but he wasn't good either IMHO

Couldn't disagree with you more...
If your a forward of Nicks athleticism and talent playing on the G and willing to run, your going to get some touches. Thought Rance played him pretty well making him lead up to the wings. Haven't watched the replay yet but from at the game Rance was a star. IMHO

Watchin the replay. Rance played well. Nick would have kicked those goals on anyone. He got a couple of cheapies too. Rance made one or two mistakes. As did Cotch and Lids.

I was at the game and agree about Nick, just thought Rance made the mistake of not playing him closer. Yes old Nick getting kicks up on the wings doesn't hurt us but if Rance had been closer, able to make the spoil we could have hurt them with a turnover.

Actually watching the replay now, looking at the things you speak of and the things I marked him harshly on  ;D

Not what I've heard WP.
Thought good ol Nick loves a bit of touch/feel from the back men. ;D

did Rance cut in on one your ladyboys in Thailand or something?
