Your profile is Tim Sheens.

He turned Gareth Ellis into a ball player!
The one thing Sheens can do is turn a good forward into a ball player.

From memory, Ellis never did ball playing. He usually ran good lines, excellent defence and in general a good ball runner. Payten and Fulton did most of the ball playing. Keith and Gibbs very rarely too.

Gaz wasn't a ball player.
He was a runner, a hard runner and a line runner.
He was an absolute smashing machine defence too!

God bless him.

I'd love to see his post contact metres conceded average. Every time i seen him tackle they just stopped in place.

A bit of personal stuff that shows the other side of John.

Good stuff CC. Is his daughter coming over, or staying in the UK ? That was the issue at Canberra, wasn’t it?

I could be wrong mate but I thought it was mentioned that she is either here or coming over. Now that we've both mentioned it someone with enlightened us.

I actually knew that, my error, I was referring to his daughter in the video. Cheers.

Ah, sorry. I hope he doesn't get too mellow on us Browny 🤣

On another matter, that is an impressive video of the Panthers boot camp.
Did you hear Ivan’s comments, trust the process, listening/ communication skills etc.
Interesting that they ran it in Penrith rather than taking them away.
Hope our guys watch and absorb some of the key lessons to supplement our own training methods.

He’s stolen “trust the process” from Ange Postecouglou

And an old boss of mine, who was a devout believer in it !

Still on aww of this signing I don’t think we could even find more competitive player

I loved Vossys commentary on it. Benji was the only played in the world who was anticipating it.. he positioned himself perfectly for it. That was a crazy game

His only stay in the negatives.

 

[hsvjones]

Has he booked a flight yet ???? Would love him before the SOO break
