Opinion Fualalo and Ogden

[Mr Invisible]

Is it just me or have these two come ahead in leaps and bounds of late?

Running it off the back fence and just smashing into defensive lines.

TOLMAN (1 x 50 min stint)
50 mins
12 runs for 99m (33 post contact)
0 tackle breaks
0 offloads
36 tackles / 1 missed / 4 ineffective
1 error
0 penalties

NAPA
37 mins (2 x 18 min stints)
11 runs for 104m (38 post contact)
0 tackle breaks
0 offloads
24 tackles / 1 missed / 1 ineffective
0 errors
0 penalties

OGDEN
26 mins (2 x 12:30 stints)
7 runs for 78m (30 post contact)
3 tackle breaks
0 offloads
21 tackles / 1 missed / 0 ineffective
0 errors
0 penalties

FUALALO
30 mins (1 x 30 min stint)
9 runs for 97m (32 post contact)
0 tackle breaks
0 offloads
14 tackles / 0 missed / 1 ineffective
0 errors
1 penalty

Now outside of rubbish interchanging, I think these two blokes are really starting to shine as quality props.

Best I've seen Fualalo play. Every carry had purpose. Hope he keeps it up.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Not sure if it's fitness, maturity, or something else, but yeah he's coming ahead in leaps and bounds. Ogdens the same. I always thought Tualau was going to be above both of them.

In NSW Cup today though despite dropping the ball over the line for a try, Sue put in some crazy numbers.

64 minutes
21 runs for 210m (65 post contact)

Fualolo was great tonight but so inconsistent. One off for him and I want to see him back it up. Ogden was absolutely outstanding tonight and has been really good for a few weeks now. I’m not going to go as far as starting him but he can provide some great impact off the bench

One of them hands down needs to be starting instead of Tolman. Cant have both tolman and jackson as starting middles its one or the other. There too small.

Fualalo has really impressed me this year.He has always looked like he had it but seems to have cut-out the mistakes from his game that plagued him and the team previously.He carried the ball with speed and determination against Manly.
Ogden looks to me like he is something very special in the making.Big,powerful,great footwork and a bit of speed for his size.The more minutes he gets the better he looks.
Both theses guys are crying out for a bit more game time but with Napa coming back,unless Tolman sees reduced minutes,that might not happen.
To all those who bag Tolman,I'd hate to see where we would be without him in the team.He's not flashy or fast but he does all the necessary shit game in,game out.Works his guts out in fact.I'll never complain about a player like him.

 

[milkdog]

Fualalo has surprised me with he's last two games he is running it hard and with purpose. Big fan of Ogden.

 

[cookieman909]

About time Fualalo started to show something.

Yes i think you have something there. Ogden has improved every game and couldnt help but notice the impact fualalo had when he came on. We struggled getting into manlys half yesterday with a poor kicking game and when these guys came on they certainly did their job

 

[Chriso86]

Can't complain with tolman, but I would start Ogden and Napa, fualalo and toomaga changes maybe push tolman to sub lock

 

[Boxer]

This would be the best pack we have.

 

[GrogDog]

I think Napa being out helped them step up and find some confidence. Both have been awesome and to be kept unless form drops.

 

[Spoonman84]

Good to see Danny pull his finger out! It's quite the coincidence he is looking better in a contract year isn't it........

 

[Packy]

Ogden is doing what he has always done. He is just getting more minutes.

Fualalo is playing like he used to. Running hard. I am positive that Ogden's runs have reminded him how it is done.

 

[Moey]

If we fuck off Elliot we could have toomaga ogden and Fualalo off the bench and if the shit coach we have rotated them properly we should have major go forward for 80mins..

 

[top-dog]

It’s called more game time .

 

[TwinTurbo]

Not taking anything away from them but, Ogden and Fualalo were mostly on when Taupau and Fonua-Blake were off. Hence looking at the raw numbers doesn't really tell the while story. Plus Napa will be better for the run, he just looked tentative at times, like he didn't fully trust the ankle yet.

Go Dogs

 

[doggieaaron]

Yes they’ve been brilliant

 

[silva]

Our pack is good enough as is to go at it with anybody.

 

[Raikkonen]

Ogden is a weapon. We must do everything we can to retain him.
