You make it sound so simple.
For a guy who has never been a forward and trained as a forward to then just make 15mtrs a few times every game. It’s not that simple.
A 13 aside from ball playing needs to make 100+ mtrs and make 25+ tackles with another 20 tackle involvements a game.
He wouldn’t be perfect he would be terrible.
Playing him as 5/8th on the left is his position, the one that adds the most value to us.
Batman even said it himself that he...
Nope he isn’t a middle park player, defensively isn’t great front on and his role is a left edge only.
He doesn’t run straight he only jinks as well.
Would be a terrible failure.
I actually like it. Gives more ability to have a specialist role on the bench and has potential to change things up around durability for the forward’s opening the play up abit.
If we play power and then shift fast it’s a massive change for us and alot of points will be scored.
Bunty & Hunt off the bench if they can play quality and most rounds should allow Pole and May to hammer it hard as well.
With Walsh at the back they are always going to be a title threat, he started really believing how good he was back end of season & stamped himself as the best player in the competition. Expecting him to take another level over next few seasons which is scary.
Don’t get me wrong if Bunty and Hunt are close to form we are infront. Especially if Pole & May focus on being impact based as well. It has the potential to be a powerful match winning rotation.
I want aggressive forward punch who get us on the front foot with threats on the edge having space...
Really good news re Bunty attitude and digging in at training.
I’m more concerned about Luai praising Bunty as the MVP at boot camp & standout at training. Talking about a guy who couldn’t get a NRL contract, at backend of his career and has never been known for his endurance.
If he is...
They made the same call that has been in play for the last 20yrs. The owners were on the board regardless of independence for 12mths.
Funding is an issue. If we aren’t getting it from the avenues this club leadership has mandated we can’t then they need to prop it up via other means
