Alou Koul warmup.
Is the sweat emotion of kids having fun admiring their heroes and the army cheering him what sport is all about or is it potentially distracting to a young lad who has an important part to play in the game. Are we potentially sabbataging our team with a distraction.
A true pro should be able to handle it but a 19yr old could have his head turned.
For me i loved it and thought it was brilliant and would actually like to have a Merv Hughes style thing get bigger but is that a distraction or disrespect to lads putting in a shift on the field as well?

Will Urena always be the provider rather than the scorer, or is it just a matter of time until someone puts him into space for a shot? I have the feeling that if Urena had the chances he has given others he'd have a bag full.

AU game he was put in space a few times and didn’t do what was expected. He is a bit slow but I saw him hit a drive against someone and it was a rocket. I think he’s goals and assists will be similar at the end of the season

What are the restrictions in regards standing in bay 16 now that stadiums are back to full capacity.

@Jimmy ?

Obviously he's not the striker to "put in space" but swap the positions of Simon and Urena for the first goal last night. Who's going to be the person to provide the play for Urena that he did for others

Yeah was going to go further and say I don’t think anyone can provide the service he needs and that he is supplying.
Bouman is proving assists but they suit Koul and Simon to a degree.
DDS is not a massive assist guy and he still needs to work on that even as well as he is playing this season.
Simon certainly couldn’t if you swapped them around.

Angry man. I liked it.

Well, well, well, if it isn't another WINNING POD!!

Pete, Luke, Jimmy, and Morrow are back in the studio to unpack the win against Macarthur - sending the cows out to pasture!

OK - seriously now - is Staj actually a wizard? Is Matt Simon actually cloning himself? Is Kye Rowles and Ruon Tongyik the best CB pairing we've seen here since 2013?

Whatever it is, we're seven points clear at the top of the league - let's enjoy it.

What are the restrictions in regards standing in bay 16 now that stadiums are back to full capacity.

NSW stadiums have said that capacity is back at 100%.
According to NSW Gov webstie, sitting is still required.
I have been told that this is changing or has changed this week, just in time for NRL.
But I cannot find anything online stating this, I'm assuming the clubs have been told.

Although stadiums are at 100% according to the Gov, it is still up to whoever is hosting the event.
Information from different sources has the A-league (or clubs) leaving it at 50-75% capacity.
It's Kind of understandable when you look at reserved seating.
If they go back to 100% then fans will rightly want their normal reserved seats back.
If the league went ahead and organised all that and then there was another outbreak which forced stadiums to go back to 50% it would cause a massive headache.

This obviously isn't a problem for GA areas.
So personally, I think that GA and active areas that do not have a specified seating plan should be allowed to sit where they want.

Regarding standing, hopefully common sense will prevail.
The overzealous E-group who are hired by the stadium want an easy job and and don't want people standing or singing. As discussed in the bay, they'll take any reason to police the sokkah community and Covid has been the perfect excuse.
No doubt they'll be fine with the NRL crowd doing whatever they want.

Thank you to Iain, Shaun and Chey who sorted out the situation the other night and let us stand in the second half.

Angry man. I liked it.

Been putting up with shit security and police that can't handle crowds since season one.
I've had an absolute gut full and been in some pretty heated exchanges over the years.
From memory I recorded one of these incidents and put it at the end of a pod.
How I've not been kicked out yet, I don't know.

Now that we've had some games without Stens, what is his impact in the team?

Well i think its huge . But here is the rub i think tonyik can play dm . He moves the ball magisticly at times and reads defence Well. Id like to see it trailed and then we can get game time with hall.

Edit money@ the shop wobbles

ut here is the rub i think tonyik can play dm

Big difference having an empty field behind you when making space. Not a slight on the big dude but he doesnt strike me as being as quick on the ball as Ollie or Stens for example. Could do it at a pinch I'm sure but not optimal.

Just listening to the pod and was thinking it would be great if you guys interviewed a fan (a non poddy fan) to try and gauge the difference in their feeling after the start to the season and the why behind it. Even someone like Gatty?

You must have a live feed to the studio.
We were discussing this last night.

Thanks TB,

I don't usually answer to Wobbles but seeing as you are such a good bloke I will let it slide.

Hi Gents, great pod again and the length is fine. Yes to the star, my very first post on this forum was asking why we don’t celebrate our past and be proud we won a championship as not every club has. Bring it on!
