i think dietz has rib problems so topine will play 9I personally wouldn't debut him under our current circumstances. The panic has set in and JMK is out injured so I guess he has found himself making his debut earlier than expected.
Anyway how is he playing? Did we get exemption and chose him over Dietz?
scratch that he is listed to play reserve gradei think dietz has rib problems so topine will play 9
Just imagine this kid in 2-3 years when u do see him.Ive never seen him play, but wish him all the best on debut. Cant be worse then what we have currently
You do realise you're talking about Marley...easily the most negative/pessimistic person on TK. When has he ever been positive about anything? Everything is always doom and gloom and every player is shit.Can you just try and be positive about something for two seconds?
We are shit though so...?You do realise you're talking about Marley...easily the most negative/pessimistic person on TK. When has he ever been positive about anything? Everything is always doom and gloom and every player is shit.
Some people are glass half full people, some are glass half empty people and then there's Marley who thinks the glass is fucking shit. LOL
I know but you can at least try and put a positive spin on it FFS. You dont have to be so bluntWe are shit though so...?
I did try to be positive this off season...then the season happenedI know but you can at least try and put a positive spin on it FFS. You dont have to be so blunt
I watched an interview of him and he said that he played a lot of No 9 coming through. Hope he has a good game as he will have his chance to impress with JMK injured.He's been highly rated for a while. He's a really hardworking player but a little on the small side so maybe hooker off the bench is a good place for him to start.
He played decent minutes in the All-Stars trial and held his own. Congrats to Jackson on your debut, I hope it's the first of many appearances and he can stake a claim for the hooker role out of nowhere..
Yeah but the team will be the same now or later in the year. The more experience he gets the better. He'll hold his own and is a competitor unlike some of the other frauds. Hopefully his enthusiasm rubs off on the supposed senior players and hopefully Doorey gets a run soon too..I like the look of this kid and has a lot of potential but throwing him in at deep end like this will either make or break the kid. An apprentice is as good as his masters and when that includes Elliot Stimson wadell katoa britt etc then God help the kid..
I’m not sure about that, you keep coming backThere's firstgrade experience and then there's getting slapped every week and having your confidence shattered.
So you don’t give the kid a go, so he goes off and finds a club that will. It’s a double edge sword.There's firstgrade experience and then there's getting slapped every week and having your confidence shattered.
That's probably a fair comparison. A smaller, worker type tackling second rower. He has more footy awareness than Jackson though. He played hooker as a junior so he has that string to his bow as well.BTW can't say I have seen much of him at all. Who can he be compared to? From what people say he seems like a work horse type of player, bit like Jackson in his early years.
