Official Jeral Skelton - Beast!!!

[Stinger]

I haven’t seen stats for a beginner like that since a young Corey Waddell burst onto the scene

Wonderful player Waddell - Best Buy the club ever made that’s why he’s a permanent fixture in the side week in week out. He’ll be the first player picked for origin next year.

 

[Rod67]

We should raid the Fijian Union. Big, strong and fast.

But can they tackle?

 

[Rod67]

I liked what I saw from Alamoti in recent seasons and also in the lower level SOO where he fractured his cheekbone that has kept him on the sidelines for a few weeks.

He's due back in the next few weeks and I expect he'll be given some game time for sure.

 

[The DoggFather]

But can they tackle?

Kikau says yes

 

[no1bulldog]

Just went and watched the replay, he went ok but didn’t do a lot barely saw the ball really but showed a few good signs…
some on here getting very carried away though he’s still got a long way to go

Do you have a brain injury?

 

[Alan79]

I'm always happy when we pick up quality that didn't earn their reputation before signing with us. For a long while now I've been hearing numerous stories about how we were offered quality on a platter and never bothered to pick them up. Skelton seems like he might be close to a ready made player.

i thought of all the players Topine was the stand out, the game was shit standard at best with little to no defence, Skeltons try was a pretty soft one yeah he showed some good signs but the way lume lume & Knockonbor played he looked amillion times better

 

[amapusae]

He is a fucking wahesh

Yes Topine was good, but Skelton literally broke tackles at ease and ran for 219m. That's hardly just okay or barely doing a lot lol.

He has only played 180 minutes of football with us and I'm unsure if he's even played much or any rugby league at all yet he has managed to produce 484m and 31 tackle breaks in that time. It might be reserve grade but that's almost unheard even at that level.

His defence needs work, will be exposed at first grade

Obviously but like I said he's only played 180 minutes of league

 

[Bulldog1966]

Enjoy.

You can skip the first 30mins if you want lol

Up late watching it, very enjoyable from 31st minute! 38 unanswered points are always good.

I don't watch much reggies but firstly yes he looks the goods early doors "Helter", hope he carries this form on and if there is an opportunity a first grade game.

Few observations
Topine was good, looked pacy hit some half gaps well.
Hoffman I have hardly seen he was quite good too, ditto Stuckey as someone else mentioned.
Cameo from Gray was good he looks better than
Cook imo.
Mariota the prop for the Raiders looks a prospect!
Sticky has a 6 foot 4 son umm I saw mummy banging the tall milkman?

Yep we were absolutely woeful in the first 30 minutes...coukdnt hokd the ball couldnt fefend...we were absolutely gassed but monentum swung we got some ball and the screws turned...skelton needs yo be given a chance in the centres in first grade...we have nothing to lose and it will be great to see how he goes against quality players

 

[Noeasyday]

He definitely needs to work on his defence but that's likely coming from a union / 7's background and can be coached into him.
Ball in hand he looks great, balance, speed, silky hands, power, acceleration...
I think he'll end up being an edge backrower in time but best suited to centre at the moment to work on his defensive reads and first up contact.
Definitely worth keeping him in reggies for the rest of the year, maybe 1 game off the bench to give him a taste of first grade before pre-season next year.
It'll be great if we could get him for 3 years, development contract next year, top 30 after that.

Development contract won't cut it probably.

There will be several clubs after him already.

My god there is sum boofheads on here trying to be different. Toia had a better game then Skelton lmaoo and then someone saying Skelton didn’t do much or wasn’t involved.

 

[Philistine]

My god there is sum boofheads on here

You don't have to sugar coat it - tell us what you really think!

 

[Bazildog]

Brandon Wakeham was best on field but nobody wants to acknowledge it because the Kennel has marked his card.

I haven’t marked his card yet, but he does look twice the player and threat in Reggie’s than he does in FG. He looks very composed playing with BBO but there is a real mix of men and boys in reserve grade.

Even my missus noticed when we watched us against Canberra yesterday when she noted Clockhead for Canberra looking very muscular compared to some of the other players.

You can really tell the difference between hardened first graders and a lot of the kids in Reggie’s.

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Agreed. Watched the game yesterday. Hard to handle.
Just hope the one tackle I saw him miss was not the norm.
