Gus strikes again ( Pele and Preston)

[Bulldogs09]

Davey doesn't impress me going off this game.

He is an upgrade on waddle.

He isn’t outstanding. Though you need those role players. To me he can be that for us. Takes the run, tackles and covers. Good fitness. Essentially like panthers used soresson.

He had some good runs, big tackles and cover. Fit as fuck. Just a role player.

Solid role player while guys like kikau tpj Thompson should be standing out.

If he keeps Waddles out of FG then I'm all for it my bro

 

[Mackdoggies]

Na Rooster. He was their Flegg captain

Wtf is everyone on about? North’s are feeder club for roosters. He came from the bears.

 

[RookieDog]

Wasn't it North's?

I think Norths are the Rorters feeder club (or at least were). There are photos of Preston in a Norths jersey from last year. So, in that sense you are correct my friend!

At Davey's last 2 clubs he's forced his way into the 17, and even the 13. He will be good back-up/squad player but also wouldn't be surprised if he does more. Waddell dud.

It’s not that hard to understand. The Roosters dont have a NSW Cup team and they instead partner with North Sydney.
Roosters contracted players will play in a North Sydney Jersey in NSW Cup

 

[B-Train]

Preston bumped off the first defender on every run, always dragged defenders with him and fell forward for a quick play the ball.

I think he played mainly on the left last year in NSW Cup. Hopefully he's as effective on the right side as Kikau will play on the left and RFM misses games now and then.. So at some stage, Preston will get a start.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Preston was outstanding. Has to be in the 17.

Pele had some good minutes.

Davey looks a decent benchie.

Obviously with the likely pack being king Thompson kikau Rfm tpj

I’d think sutton Davey Preston are locks for the bench. Pele might be the Smokey but thing brown will be there.

Amazed no one touched on the fact Reynolds completely outplayed Flanagan.

Skeleton is huge. Be a good chance to force his way in somewhere looked decent to me.

Mahoney only played like 30? Was best on field.

Think our pack should look like:

8. Thompson
9. Mahoney
10. King
11. Kikau
12. Preston
13. RFM

14. Brown/Reynolds
15. TPJ
16. Sutton
17. Pele/Davey

16. Sutton
17. Pele/Davey

Switch Sutton and RFM and I think that would be our best pack/bench later in the season..

A bench of TPJ, RFM and Pele would be insane in terms of impact. I still think RFM is better as a middle.. Preston looks like the second best second rower at the club right now.

 

[CMP]

Both these boys stood up and were impressive today.

Pele might just be the player to share the 80minutes with TPJ.

Preston looks like a left edge player. Would be good if he can play right. Either way if he can perform agin next week against the sharkies he might be a good thing for the 17.

 

[Haddaway]

Sutton will start

He looked good. Ran hard, hit hard got 5 tackle busts hit a hole for a try.

I think you’ve gone of the rails a bit, B train

 

[Downtowndog]

Preston is a Reuben Cotter clone

How's that? RFM is the more proven player right now, but I think he's better in stints off the bench as a middle.

After Kikau and RFM, Preston is the next best 2nd rower at the club. He's ahead of Waddell, Davey etc as he started ahead of them and massively outperformed today and throughout the preseason.

I think later in the season Kikau and Preston will be the first choice 2nd rowers.

He is a great prospect but, over RFM not atm maybe down the track but definitely should be in the starting 17

 

[BELMORE]

Preston is way better than RFM

 

[Kennelnator]

Preston is a Reuben Cotter clone

He does have alot of his attributes, but i hope he doesnt follow through with that gay moustache

That's fair enough.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Pele needs to start in reserves and build his fitness, bring him into the team after he's done that.

Fitness comes from training not playing, from just what I saw yesterday he can easily do ~30 (or 40) minutes with 15 (or 20) minutes either side of half time. Which is plenty enough considering his impact, albeit half a trail game. Let's see how he goes next weekend.


Always a Bulldog

Pele needs to start in reserves and build his fitness, bring him into the team after he's done that.

My take is Pele is ready to learn in 1sts and will be motivated to work harder on his fitness. Plus, a bench player with his size is a great option to have. will be a star by round 10
