2019 TLA NRL Player In Focus - Official Thread

[Sharks16]

I think DCE had a better and more important game than Cleary, but I won't expect 2 Manly PIFs in a row!

Hopefully one of the other games this round produces a no-brainer PIF.

Yeah another cracker to win the game . Good win

Only problem is scoring a try and playing well against the Titans is like shooting fish in a pond.

He is probably the best, most consistent player in the NRL so he should get it over anyone else this week.

Rapana was good - 2 tries, 1 try assist, a line break and 178m

Moses also had a night out.

Gutho was good last night with 1 Try Assist, 21 Runs, 249 Run Metres, 4 Tackle Breaks,1 Line Break, 1 Line Break Assist. Can Parra please just re-sign him back up already. On a side note Bronson Xerri looks to be a player to watch in the future.

Leilua and Rapana were back at their best again. love watching their partnership when their in form.

I like watching Leilua when he is on song.
One of the most damaging players in the game.

Still has brain snaps though. I suppose the unpredictability of his thinking is what makes him so dangerous. His defence has improved this year but probably more to do with J Bateman being inside.

Rapana is a freak. Apparently he has a big money offer from Union.

Cracking try. The holding of the pass and then the actual pass from CNK was special also.

 

[Paul_Ambrey]

Do you think that parra reject deserves some consideration this week.

 

[Matt26]

Whats the bet they do a 3 way card with Cleary/DCE and Norman on it as Golden Point winners! Like the Hayne/Moses dual one from last year!

I have no idea if this is the case!

 

[Angry]

Surely not

 

[MikeK]

That would be cool!

Pity the Dogs missed that last conversion for a 4-way!

 

[Matt26]

Surely not

As I said, its just a guess but im sure they will pick one player and go with it......but to have 3 Golden Point games (decided by field goal) in the same weekend isnt something that happens that often.

EDIT - Only second time in history its happend.

 

[Matt26]

Quick update......I can confirm that it will only be one player featured on todays PIF.

May be able to share a clue in about an hour time!

So with this in mind, who do you think it will be?

Cheers
Matt

He certainly did have a great game!!!!

 

[Brendan_B]

He certainly did have a great game!!!!

Would you suggest that he was ‘focused?’

Not often the Dogs miss out on a 4-way

 

[Matt26]

Not often the Dogs miss out on a 4-way

Nor the Panthers......but at least they would have filmed it!

I thought Okunbor had a good shot of getting it this week after his performance yesterday

Bit unlucky there was so many great performances over the weekend
