Maarbani 2020
-
Could this guy push for a start in 2020?
He was our ISC top try scorer.Absolutely killing it in the 9s.
Our very own Mansour.- Thompson
- Nofo
- Lomax*
- Mbye / Momorovski **
- Maarbani
- Pending signature
** Pending where Mbye plays
Tall centres and average height wingers.
Could it work? -
Don’t think so in my opinion.
-
Would love to be proved wrong, but not a chance going on the half a dozen or so games I have seen him in. Barely looks state cup level, and very small.
-
Average height? Maybe in middle earth when you include hobbits and dwarfs. I think Nofo and Thompson are two small wingers who can hold their own, do we really want a third no matter how good? Someone would have to come out (assuming think is going to give up the #1 at some stage) and both have him covered.

I’m a fan.

He is listed at 6 foot 95 kilos, which makes him slighty bigger than Nofa.
But he has always struck me as looking much smaller than Nofa.

@ElleryHanley Not really up to top 30 standard from what I saw of him.
-
He’s definitely bigger than nof. Very similar players and would be a fraction of the cost. Does some great things at times, couldn’t understand why he was regularly dropped behind players who were much poorer players. Was inconsistent at times but could be a solid cheap squaddie if we needed one.
Not sure if he’s contracted for next season but given the WT social team mentioned him I guess he might still be in CC -
Biggest issue I’ve seen when watching Maarbani is under the high ball
-
@ElleryHanley my comment re height is really about all of the guys I mentioned, looks similar to Nofo for mine but I wouldn’t know
-
Good prospect. I will keep an eye on him moving forward.
Thx for heads up that he’s in our system
