Exactly, no player in our team has confidence in the players inside or outside of them,I actually think that hetho might turn into a real good player with some quality around him. Watched the way the storm defend last night,no one rushes in because they have faith in the blokes inside them,stops so many overlaps forming.
Meaney's not that quick
Sustained speed is the important factor in all of it for mine. They could have hit that top speed for less than a second.
Change of direction while not losing speed is everything. It's what made players like Barba so dangerous. That's why I hate top speeds as a stat. Brett Howland would have been an Immortal if we based anything off top speeds.
Barba had a swerve at full speed, similar to Turbo - lots of players have good stepping feet but they generally slow down to step - still good but not as effective as the swerve directional change with speed
I left out the word "not" in my description of Dufty's top speed
Or not. But at least it wasnt a spring race, or at training or something. It was in a game environment.
That’s the thing in a game environment doesn’t tell you that much. Did they have the ball or not? How long did they stay at the speed for? It’s a pretty irrelevant stat without a lot more info.
Hetheringtons was, can't remember who it was but he chased down a Storm player, a back.
JAC ran 38.1km/h thats good enough for me.
He scored a try the other week (I think against the Sharks/Mulitalo) and he was very fast when doing so. He did an in and out run and it was very noticeable he was running quicker than his average.
He’s def not a starting front rower, suits the edge, that’s what the Panthers did with him early on.
What halves?
Best explanation I’ve seen!! Hahaha can you do one for short and long wheel base?
