So am I yet the coach dont seem bothered, extending Matt promoting CT and if he has his way he'd still want Bird in centres, instead of the also slow Max. Other teams must lick their lips when they see they are playing us with our lack of back line speed.
Sloan or Ramsay. Rumble putting on 10kg will only add to his lack of speed and we have sufficient slow backs as it is. How was Ramsays defense before he got sick. I dont recall it being any better than Sloan.
He has a big frame to put a lot of weight on and in the short term, like until mid 20s, make him faster. Whether he makes it or not, he's going to have pressure from Lucas Borg. And they are both going to be pressuring Sloan.
Sorry! Every week they do it and I have to manually correct it. Thanks for pointing it out when I forget.Two Jack Quinns??? Not your doingEric, blame News Corp as every bloody week they print Jack Quinn for Nick Quinn. The #12 shud be Jack Quine. Scored a sensational try a couple of weeks back.
Analysis = true
Slowly improving. Very Slowly. Not just his defence but he runs for so few metres compared to I think every other regular fullback.
This is the bit that not many fans seem to notice.. you can forgive some defensive issues if he is busting tackles left & right like most young fullbacks do (including Stewart before he left), but Sloan (like dufty) does not actually break out of tackles.. if someone gets a hand on him he goes down.. which means he is not getting those 30+ metre runs that boost the stats of the other fullbacks.
Analysis = Not tru
Hope he goes well but seems like a lot to come back from.
I rated him better than average, speed to burn, involvement, energy and character. He grabbed the fullback position when everyone was talking up Sloan.
You can expect 99% more effort from him.
Yaaa... I was one of his fans when everyone wrote him off based on basically 1 game where he dropped 2 bombs... it was mostly because he was holding out Sloan (their 'preferred' junior)... he went away and worked on that technique.. and when he came back he was bullet-proof, just went all in on bombs legs up cuddled the ball to the ground every time.
If he puts on more weight than he had before he got sick, like another 10kgs to make him in the 90s, he's every chance of pushing out Sloan. At least put some pressure on Slaon. Someone needs to.
Not seen him. Only footage can find is this. Is playing wing here. Looks a big strong dude and not overly fast unlike Sloan. A centre perhaps.
Wouldn't think about how big various teenagers are too much just yet. Several of the smaller 17 year-olds might grow much later than Williams for example. Though TPH is tiny for a fullback. Would be good if he could transition into a halfback or hooker. Otherwise not too confident about him.
1000% im with you, im talking from a short-term perspective only.. they will all put on heaps of mass yet, Williams the one who stood out from the others though because a) his speed is elite and b) because he was already physically bigger as a 19yr old.. it would be easier to come quickly through the grades.. I wish I could see more than just highlights of these Flegg games to see how hes going.
