Hi la familiars,
King Elliott has been absolutely ripping it up lately, and many of you are still too stubborn to admit he’s a gun, so I thought I’d start a weekly stat watch thread. Wish I had thought to start doing this weeks ago because he has been producing similar figures consistently for the past few months.
Stats vs Roosters:
66 minutes
1 try
1 linebreak
67 fantasy points (most in the Raiders team)
15 hit ups
154 metres
52 post contact metres
2 tackle breaks
2 offloads
4 passes
37 tackles
Tapine and Papalii seem to get all the wraps, but Elliott has been as vital as anyone to Canberra’s resurgence. And he is also skilful enough to fill in at hooker if need be.
People call me a troll, but the truth is, I can look past our club’s shitty systems and see genuine talent. Elliott has always had that. Now he’s playing for a coach who actually knows what he’s doing and is playing him in his best position, he’s looking like a million bucks. Being off the booze and happy in his personal life is obviously helping too.
We could definitely use a player like him to help our cream puff forwards right now.
Anyway, I know most of you aren’t big on admitting your mistakes, but I will keep updating the thread, and if any of you are ready to admit I was right and you were wrong, I’m right here.
Peace.
