OFFICIAL Jeral Skelton #294

[Shoes]

Glad that he's available this week. He is surprisingly skillful for a guy that big. Him and Turuva might turn out to be the best wingers to play for the club.

Why can’t big guys be as skilful as little guys? The Hong Kong sevens are on this weekend - Jeral was a regular on this circuit for a number of years! Most of the players are tall, fast, big, skilful and have a great aerobic engine. That’s the reason Michael Hooper was always going to struggle… too small, not skilful enough

How can you say that about Nofo, he won a comp with the Glebe Dirty Reds.

Sorry swap Ryde for Glebe.

Really surprised the Dogs let this absolute beast go! One of my favourite players now 😁

I was at Cintra park for my daughters hockey and I seen our cup boys training. Only caught about 5 minutes of it. Staines & Skelton running up and down the sideline both looked ok but I am no physio.

Good intel TC. So Staines must have an injury rather than on the way out.

He looked ok to me as did Skelton.

Koro and JAC best days at Melb and Nofo best days at Ryde Eastwood.

So not that big a call really

JAC, sure his best days were Melbourne.

Koroibete was fantastic for us. He clearly hit a strong form while playing for us, even if he did better at Melbourne.

Taniela Tuiaki was a BLOODY BEAST!
Seriously amazing to watch and if he did not get injured so early in his career, he would be one of the best NRL wingers ever.

Pat Richards, on his return. Re-defined the role of winger into a playmaker. I have seen Hazem el-Mazri, and luke Burt do some stuff on the wing but nothing like what Richards was doing for us. Someone mentioned Innovation, Richards reinvented winger!

But hey Skelton and Turuva please. Surpass these guys.

 

[Speed2burn]

Skelton seems pre cautionary if anything. Better to get him 100% right early in the season rather than make his injury worse

Yeah facing Broncos in Brisbane and Storm in Melbourne id rest any slightly injured players. Yes every game you go in to win but sometimes it's better to take the long view.

TT was tops!!!
And how good was it watching Koro run, a bit like Bula.

 

[hank37w]

Koro was a lunatic, absolutely no fear or consideration for personal safety.

Any news on Jeral’s injury?

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

No info but common sense suggests he stays out until after our upcoming bye

 

[Buttface]

Are we there yet?

Come on Helter Skelton!!!

 

[Moh]

Happy for him to take his time TBH, we're doing OK without him.

Miss him for sure, but I'd rather he gets it right.
