Blore > Garner

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Blore Garner

Garner is good but Blore looks to be a class above him.

Blore Garner

Different players tbh, room for both.

Sorry, it was in response to the team line up. I'd prefer starting with Blore than Garner. Definitely room for both, but Garner would be coming off the bench in my opinion.

Pretty impressive pack and bench when they are all playing at their potential.

It would be good to hang on to Eisenhuth, Big Mac and Clark too I think. Need balance and cover for injuries and these guys will all step up and play a role.

Great looking team but we need better than Doueihi at full back and better than Reynolds at 5/8.

Pack looks great but we’ll never be contenders with that halves combo imo.

Cust or Burton would have been handy.

Does look like a good signing - hopefully instead of Saab.

Looks the right height, seems to have a bit of speed and doesn't want to just fall over the line, but has a bit of an urge to get as close to the posts as he can.

Well one down, two to go.

Impressive athletic data underlines why Saab's in demand

Data obtained by Telstra Tracker shows just why the Dragons have been hesitant to let teenage winger Jason Saab leave the club.

In round 10, Saab recorded the top maximum speed (34.8km/h) and produced the most high-speed efforts (39 bursts of 20km/h or more) in an impressive display of pace and endurance.


Saturday's win over the Bulldogs was Saab's sixth NRL match.

St George Illawarra confirmed in June that Saab, who is reportedly struggling with travelling to Wollongong from Western Sydney, had been denied a contract release.


Dragons coach Paul McGregor at the time said he was surprised that Saab wanted out of the club despite being signed until 2022.

"He has a great future in the game and we want it to be at this club," McGregor said.


In Round 10, the 19-year-old beat Storm flyer Josh Addo-Carr (37.4km/h), Eels veteran Michael Jennings (34.2), Titans rookie Treymain Spry (34) and Dragons teammate Zac Lomax (34) in the speed stakes.

And he had more high-speed efforts than Sharks fullback Will Kennedy (35), Storm No.1 Ryan Papenhuyzen (34), Bulldogs centre Kerrod Holland (33) and Rabbitohs speedster Alex Johnston (32).


Saab also topped the high-speed efforts chart in his previous NRL appearances this year in rounds seven (42) and eight (37).

Meanwhile, Eels playmaker Jai Field and Knights general Mitchell Pearce covered the equal-most distance last round with 9.7km.

Sharks halfback Chad Townsend (9.6km), Eels five-eighth Dylan Brown (9.5km) and Kennedy (9.4km) rounded out the top five.

No way he is doing 42 km per hour

Usain Bolt WR run was 44 km per hour from memory

They are saying he is around a 9.80 100 metre runner based on that speed

It doesn't say he hit 42km/h, it says he had 42 high speed efforts, which is 42 times over 20km/h

Sorry misread it

Pity ...be nice to have a finalist in an Olympics 100 metres final

Jennings isn't too far off the pace?

Maybe the bin race in the sports bet add

Great looking team but we need better than Doueihi at full back and better than Reynolds at 5/8.

I still have a feeling Reynolds won't see out the last year of his contract in 2021. I also reckon we will look to part with Mbye - can't really find a position for him in 2021.
