SportingNews/Lurker Joe Stimson

[B-Train]

I guess moving into next year we can’t afford as many players with potential. Need to have a solid foundation at least. RFM has had potential for the last 3 years but is lacking in fundamentals

I can't argue with that, but if any teams still have an interest in Elliott, I'd much rather he was shopped around when Stimson is a bigger, better and younger version of him.

Suaso sue, what a disappointment.
Tough fucker, playing like t-rex atm.

Joe Stimson: 39 games, 4 tries, 5 line breaks, 7 offloads, and an average of 56 run metres a game.
Rhyse Martin: 21 games, 4 tries, 4 line breaks, 17 offloads, and an average of 105 run metres a game.

Add to that he has lower back issues (has a few times in his career).

No fucking thanks. Our club need to stop wasting money on plebs.

its got more to do with the fact munster is inside him.

I hope he bought him dinner first.

If they have signed this bloke, most probably they missed out on that Pommy forward which was floating around for a few weeks

Which is disappointing if true. Thompson looks like a good player and would have been a much better signing.

Would prefer capewell , is being shopped around, can cover centre as well as being a decent backrower.

There's a real aura about the forwards he's wanting at the club and keeping at the club, also the ones bein let go, u can tell they don't fit the critirea

I don't get the fuss with Capewell to be honest. Last week he missed 12 tackles. He's had a few other games like that this season too. He doesn't break the line and isn't very skilled either. It sounds like ESL clubs are after him.

Rhyse Martin: 21 games, 4 tries, 4 line breaks, 17 offloads, and an average of 105 run metres a game. 635 tackles (30.2/game), 62 missed (3/game)

Martin misses more tackles, but makes more per game as well (is that more involvement or easier to run at, idk). Don't know about errors & penalties conceded, but my guess is Martin is worse. Regardless, agree its a sideways move at best.

Seems like one of those hard working, no frills forwards. I guess how good the signing is depends on whose spot is he taking or if anyone have to be released.
One of the goals in replacing des is to change the brand of footy we are playing. If stimson is replacing forwards that can offer more in attack, like rfm or martin, im not sure how is this going to bring us closer to that goal.

Looks like Stimson is getting the kennel treatment like a few others. Cogger, Foran, Tolman, etc.
They cant tackle, they cant pass, they cant etc. I think those three have been the standouts this year.

Stimson has chronic lower back issues. it's what has kept him in and out of the game over the past 3-4 years.

Stimson is on the bench for Melbourne this week so we can get a look at him first hand.

Came to see if anyone was on the ball... Good to see

With the makeup of Melbourne's bench it looks like he'll play prop or lock off the bench so I doubt he plays more than 25-30 minutes max. Should be interesting.

I don't mind we are looking at him tbh… From what I have seen of him he looks like he can play across the forward pack. Funny enough I actually see him as a middle forward than as an edgy even though he runs a nice line on an edge but we should get a better idea of what he is capable of this weekend.
