He needs a good coach to push him, make him more hungry. I have seen him power thru the line and hit hard in defense, trouble is he wont do it repeatedly. Jodragon agrees with me that he has potential so if he can be coached better he will be an asset going forward. He also needs to cut the silly mistakes from his play.
Yeah but I think some players inherently don't have the ability to play a long time. No matter how much they train. Frank Molo is one of them. He looks like a ball of muscle while Blocka looks fat but I'd bet in a 5km run, Blocka would win.
Titans
Since I first laced up the boots until I retired as a coach I have seen countless " the next big thing" players come and go. A great deal depends on the individual player, is he happy to pull on a 1st jersey once or does he have that mental toughness, that passion, that desire, that will to turn up week in week out, get hurt, have a shocker of a game be selfish or be that team player. All we can do as a coach and as a club is give him the opportunity and guide him. In the end it's up to him. I was impressed with this kid I hope he can take that last step.
Changed my post to presuming it is the Titans. Do you think our BOD has worked out a swap deal. Which Tits can we use.
Yeh you cant teach that, same as vision. But I think the kid has the passion from what I saw of the family do when he was named in top grade. He came across as a unassuming guy but he was also touched by the occasion. Not sure how that translates to desire but he looked happy and proud when handed his Red V jumper.
Is it confirmed anywhere else? Nervous for next year but about time to turn the page.
Not against it but seems like just a rumour?
Reminds me of another big bloke that was similar Dave Taylor ........
He could have been anything for a big man he had wonderful balance, hand eye co ordination and built like a brick shithouse . Never achieved his potential
Fifita is a bit overrated but still worth getting for the right price. He's lazy but he's a game breaker.
Jerome Hughes went to Melbourne as a reserve grade fullback. Point is, I wonder if there is anyone Flanno thinks he could turn into a halfback.
Wouldn't surprise me if RCG comes back to Flanno and says something like "it was all a misunderstanding between my fool manager and me."
