OFFICIAL Luke Garner [Discussion]

Definitely get more of a run next week. From what I saw today, he looked solid.
 
Didn't look out of place, will only get better with fulltime training too.
 
Not enough game time to make a proper call but I did see him napping at marker once, just really slow to react to what was happening.

All I'll say is compared to the Roosters young blokes I just saw he's not in the same ballpark.
But neither are any of our forwards, the young Chooks charged onto to ball and into the line ours crawl.

But like I said, too early to call.

Anyone else noticed he gased.

NRL is much more fast paced.
Everyone is gassed on debut as they adjust to the next level.
He will come good.

Not sure you'd think mcqueen comes in for lawrence with twal back in.

Good God no, no McQueen please. He needs to never be seen in 1st grade again for our club. Garner is our future (until he gets poached) he deserves a good crack while Lawrence is missing.

Just the way he gast makes me nervous. The facts are he did not play great.
 
I'd expect him to retain his spot on the bench for this week. With Lawrence out you'd say MCK starts and Garner becomes first back rower off the bench for Aloiai. MCK is better off the bench but it's a big ask for a guy who was only training part time until a couple of weeks ago to start in NRL.

Do I need to explain again the difference between a fact and an opinion?

'Gassed"

Yeah, he was gassed alright, or certainly seemed very much so. Looked to be lumbering along in a retreating defensive line rather soon after coming on, which caught my eye and made him seem a lot bigger than I thought that he was.
