Greater Western Sydney vs Sydney

[Shade]

What a terrible season opener.

1st half was okay now its a total bore

 

[Igloo]

How many times a game does Gary Rohan get some sort of injury? Was just limping a bit. Had a rough night.

 

[RectiationD]

The Geriatrics With Scully were all very good pickups for their own reasons.

We'll get some good games out of Power and Brogan as well, once they are fit.

Giles will be there to pickup Brogans spot when he leaves

 

[MrPresident]

I think people are being overly harsh on us because they expected us to win by 150 here based on what the Suns did early last year. But GWS is better than the Suns were this time last year. 96-30 is a solid effort by us for round 1. I reckon 4 or 5 weeks into the season we'd beat them much more convincingly.

 

[Tulip]

****ing hell Rohan!

 

[IanW]

Giles will be there to pickup Brogans spot when he leaves

Nope. Its now "Brogan is there to cover for Giles, if he gets hurt".

Huge, huge games out of Giles and Mohr, one a GWS reject, the other from Launceston via Casey.

 

[Tulip]

Cornes is fantastic

So, what about in four or five years ?

 

[Boxhead_31]

Couple of really good things from Izzy there

 

[RectiationD]

Cornes is fantastic

Cornes and Mcdonald have surprised me.

 

[MrPresident]

Folau! Nice couple of moments there.

 

[Kram]

Nice passage of play.

 

[Simple Jack]

Izzy's goal!!!

Great work from him.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Izzy lays a bear tackle, then sets up a goal with a nice pickup and handball.

 

[Down At Gillon]

Pretty well played by Folau there. We will hear about it, and see it over, and over, and over again though.

Let's put the crowd into perspective too. In 1998 I was one of 21,000 (and could have been many thousands more) that crammed like sardines to watch the Melbourne Storm play it's first ever home game. It was not a derby, you can guarantee that there we not 10,000 free tickets given to school kids, and the Storm did not have the power of an organisation like the AFL behind it. I personally think 38,000 for the first game of the year, and the first game of this club, in a derby, is actually pretty average.

How cool is it that the midfield coach is playing (McDonald). Not something you see much.

 

[QuietB]

Cornes is fantastic

Cornes has been very good as has McDonald.

 

[lock33]

nice tackle Folau then chase and shepherd result goal GWS

 

[RectiationD]

Giants squad average age.. 21.

 

[MrPresident]

So, what about in four or five years ?

When Sam Reid and Gary Rohan are both top 5 players our teams will contest an awesome grand final with us winning with a last minute goal.

 

[brendan84]

cornes and mcdonald have still got it. being able to do it every week is going to be the problem.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Pretty well played by Folau there. We will hear about it, and see it over, and over, and over again though.

Which is totally 100% his fault....

there is potential there for Folau to be a really good player

 

[RectiationD]

nice tackle Folau then chase and shepherd result goal GWS

Showed a positive.

 

[Igloo]

Getting tackled by Folau and getting a ridiculously soft free kick is the first times I have even seen Hannebery. Worst on ground by a mile for me. Has done nothing.

 

[R_Premiers]

This has been a great game of footy.

Footy has truly become the No.1 Code in Sydney as the result of the Giants' inclusion into the comp. Can't wait in 2-3 years we'll have a flag under out belts.
