Marsters is a better prospect moving forward than G Stewart. He's barely been on the radar at Souths. I notice our friend Nathan Brown is moving on too.

explosiveness = 1/5
speed = 1/5
girth = 2/5
wrongness of head = 5/5
games played vs ability = 5/5
Total = 14/25 = Plodder Grade C

Nope..

I don't understand the scale. Are you seeking a high score or a low score? I would have thought a good player should have a high explosiveness etc., but a low head wrongness? It seems like you're adding up good attributes and bad attributes.

The rating scale for Plodders is explained in more detail in this thread….

The higher the score as far as Plodders go the better Grade of Plodder...Forum recruitment should only consider Plodder B+ or above...

Wrongness of head only enhances a Plodders effectiveness so you want Explosiveness to compliment that...

Correct, because if they've already got a rough head, they won't be afraid to cop a few high hits doing dirty work.

The ideal plodder is explosive, fast, fat, has a head like a beaten favourite and plays way more games than they really should. Plodders scoring 20+ points are actually on the threshold of not being plodders at all, but being proper first grade footballers.

Prime examples for mine are Blocker Roach, Chris Leikvoll, Carl Webb at his best, Piggy Riddell in his early days. Artie Beetson is the pinnacle of plodderhood.

Why does our forward pack need experience? I dont want experience, I want athletic meatheads who are intimidating and bash the bejesus out of other packs. Thats all I want.

X2!

 

[Fade_To_Black]

We need to find someone from within who can play like Taumololo

Coen Hess will do me

For sure. He definitely looks like a star of the future, played awesome last night.

Absolutely agree. We have enough honest toilers and mattresses who shut up when blokes like Wharea-Hargreaves aim up.

That's because he is playing in England!

Ahhh, I understand now. I was thinking more "wrongness of brain". Thanks of clarifying.

Add me to this list as well. I think we need a player like Taupau.

Sorry he WAS barely on the radar at Souths. Christ you must have a lot of spare time. I'll try better to improve my sentences.

 

[upthetigers]

Gosh no he's way past it. We need youth and aggression.

I am not a mind reader Y. Your sentence was ok.

Why must I have a lot of spare time?

Lol like the one who left us? It seems aggressive forward and WT don't go together real well. We've lost a few over the years for various reasons (some out of our control) - Fifita, Taupau, Lodge, Brown, Akaoula (he played like a beast last night) to name a few.

it's not that bad an idea..

Taupau is exactly the type of player that we need. An explosive beast.

Would be a horrible signing. Was a good player but is finished now.

 

[TCL]

No, he is past it. I would rather a young fella with agro from the ESL.

Sounds like Tony Williams is your key modern day exponent.

Tony Williams isn't fat, just lazy. The best modern day example might be Nathan Brown, but even he's trimmed down a bit.
