Opinion Chris Patolo

[CrittaMagic69]

I think he showed some promising signs, looked strong on and off the ball and seems to get through a reasonable amount of work on the field. Good bounce back from his debut performance, should play off the bench for the remainder of the year imo.

 

[King Gus]

Still has improving to do but that will come with experience. Solid player I think he will be special.

 

[Baseball Furies]

Yeah, I thought he had some nice touches, similar build and style to Renouf just better and younger...

 

[Spoonman84]

He looked solid. One thing with all these young guys is to consider how difficult it would be to come into such a shitshow of a side. I don’t think it’s fair to judge any youngster until they play a few more games.

Good prospect this kid !

Yes, he's also better than Featherington.

Plods across the turf currently but should go better once he grows into his frame. Worth persisting with for now, particularly over hacks like Doorey and Ogden.

I wouldn't call him special but I haven't seen much of him. I just like the fact that he looks dominant both sides of the ball.

Where was he plodding ffs

 

[Baseball Furies]

Yes, he's also better than Featherington.

After his first game, I thought he was from our Plodder graveyard but he looked a different player tonight...

His 185cm and 110kg and still growing.

Yes he's a good build, just not sure what else he has to game. He looks reasonably agile though, what's his footwork, pace, offload, etc like?

 

[Nate DAWG]

At least he looks strong..good fightback for the young fella

 

[Psycho Doggie]

He had a solid hitout tonight, wasn't noticeable, which is the least you hope for from a young benchy prop. No errors, 18 tackles no misses, a solid ~100 metres or so with ~40 PCM. Seemed to sting a few as well.

Decent footwork and offload but needs to lift in first grade. Once his confidence goes up and fills out his a hass style type of a player that’s my opinion.

Stop it

Stop it

Stop my opinion?

If you’re gonna make silly comparisons like Patolo to Haas then yes

Sounds good. He's definitely a prop and not an edge forward?

I haven't even done my post game stats analysis, will just make me sad lol
