Lui- Tosa I mentioned earlier good enough to give him a run off the bench. Only problem is that he doesn't really have the size he is like the Molos good leg speed runs close to the ground. Perhaps a new coach may see and use him. Time will tell
Best for us. JDB and Bird were also good.
If your watch Parra at the moment watch how there halves use there centres, attacking not battering rams
Yea for sure he deserves a crack
100%!
Look to me Bird does try hard especially in attack but he is a defensive liability he misses 5 tackles a game, you can't have forwards missing 5 tackles a game it's just not viable to be competitive
Most forward are built low too the ground, run like bulls, gone are the day now of tall forwards
That is because they receive the ball deeper and are running into the line or offloading the ball as they get to the line because their engine room is making it to the advantage line not like ours
To be honest, I think he might be better than Lawrie who is built similar.
That's not what I meant. What I mean is and Lawrie is a prime example of this. He is not tall but ran too upright making it easier to stop him and push him back. He changed his running style last season lowering his centre of gravity making him much more difficult to tackle hence instead of running 65m a game he started running 100m plus a game consistently. That's what I mean no matter how tall a forward is if you can develop your running style to lower your centre of gravity you will make ground.
Yea thank god we have jack deblin, and Jack bird if we didn't we'd be getting beat by 40 every week, Also Jayden sua, the rest are turnstiles
Bird is a turnstile I'm afraid in defence
Couchman is going to another JDB. He's almost there already.
Blocker goes good but tell the last time you seen him break the line he's running at
He bends the line on a regular basis. Never breaks it.
So far this season played 6 games missed 21 tackles you can't have your forwards consistently missing 3.5 tackles a game it needs to be half that in my view and experience
So if your a hooker and blocker is running at you, you would go the whole season with out missing a tackle
We have one in Junior Amone but seems a stop on his elusive line running has been ordered by our coach as he is trying to turn him into a play maker. Wighton is being offered 1.2 by his club, reckon we can get anywhere near that when we already have Hunt on 850k for next three years and others on big wages that are undeserved.
Agree. Good in attack but next coach will demand he fix his defence.
