Leon bott

[top_dawg]

bott needs to replace haz.......did u guys see when petro showed him the sideline yesterday, about 10 metres of open space and haz didnt take it, ran back inside........i hung my head out of sheer embarrasment.

although his goalkicking was on the mark, ill give him credit for that.

 

[Chicharito]

Botts pace is incredible... I'd like to see him full time on the squad its something we need

just his height doesnt really help out that much lol

 

[Terry Mortimer]

Oh ok. I never really saw much of him when he was at Broncos.

His nick name is lightning Bott. Ray Warren created it for him. He was rookie of the year in 05

Good to hear. Sounds like hes got alot of potential. I was impressed from what i saw yesterday.

 

[BULLDOG GEORGE]

if his form is good bott will see first grade this year.

 

[wogdog]

isnt bott a right sided player

 

[Dognacious]

He goes aaaight. Watched him play for the broncs a few times, he sure is fast. Hope he can defend too.....time will tell.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

hopefully he can fight his way into FG, its hard though to prove himself from one very good performance when some of his performances last season were not that great. But like i said he has potential and that showed while he was at the Broncos as well, hopefully it won't be too long before we see him in FG.

lol, that's disgraceful

 

[Wyzguy]

I also saw Hazem not take on civonceva and that was a concern.
I dont think Utai and Hazem will see out the season in firsts.
The trend now is tall and quick wingers - we have two of the shortest wingers in the comp and they will be targeted defensively and with the high ball.

 

[Deception_2112]

We need Heka on one side and Bott on the other..

Bott is much faster than Utai, and as much as El Masri's kicking will be invaluable he can potentially let in just as many tries..

Time will tell..but for now keep Hazem there

 

[Haztrick]

I'll admit that El Masri is definitely isn't a speed machine or line breaker or attacking gun, but he can find his way to the line like not many others, he can kick goals better than anyone and his defence has always been top notch. He deserves his spot until he f*cks up in FG.

Bott is an exciting player. I hope I get to see him in FG this year and we just might if he gets that centre spot with Millard missing until round 2 or 3 (god knows that Phelps will be picked, though)

haztrick
was it not god who wrote the eleventh commandment...
phelps shalt not play : )
on a serious note, bott should only
be considered as a winger.

 

[tempo]

Unless Bott has terrible defence or positional play and can't catch a bomb, he should get a spot. He can have El Masri's a she makes him look pedestrian in attack. Then we have a tank either side of the ground. I don't care if they're short re: bombs. If they can jump and catch they're tall enough. I know Utai has trouble, but not always and even tall wingers have those problems (read: Manu Vatuvei) I don't know how Bott goes under the high ball but I do know one thing, having the sort of pace he does wins matches! How many times will we make breaks this year only to see Patten, Tonga or El Masri run down? You put Bott away and hardly anyone is going to catch him.

The reason HAz didn't take him on is that Petro would have had him for pace and put him into the 3rd row of grandstand!!!

luv El MAgic.....GO HAZZZ

 

[wogdog]

bott of lightning

 

[Deception_2112]

Why do you people insist on having 2 of the same players in the team?

Bott's defence IMO looks better than Utai but they are in the same mold...we'd need both Heka and Bott in the team, one with strength, speed and height and the other with IMMENSE strength and superspeed.

@ Haztrick, i just want the guy to get the all time record tbh, but other than that he doesn't find his way to the tryline...i mean a winger dodging a prop-forward? Ie. He didn't believe he could outrun Civo? Thats really embarrassing

there is your answer, haz is too slow.
bott/nania and utai have to be on the wings with Winitana in the centres, groom half back and barba somewhere in the squad

 

[will.i.am]

Leon did show he is getting back into gear on sunday. He was impressive with Winitana in the centres. But i would still have Utai take the left flank for round one.

 

[Smiley]

that's a really good point deception 2112 - why have such similar players in the same positions?
