Yeah I wonderWas signed as a ball playing back rower,what happened?
That Shaun Lane swap is still a tough one. I always liked Lane. He struggled to get time at the Warriors. He was pretty good at Manly and has been really good at Parra. He's still offloading really well..He is a keeper for sure.. *coughs* a Des signing *coughs*...
This is stupid he’s agile for a big man and plays great on an edge one of our few attacking weapons. People forget that two years ago he was one of the form backrowers in the Comp and got injured in his New Zealand debut only just starting to come back to his best now great to see.Needs to be a bench prop
three letter word. Starts with P. Ends with Y. Rhymes with Day.Was signed as a ball playing back rower,what happened?
Well what do you expect when the coach tells you all I want you to do is run hard and tackle hard. He could of set up a number of tries but never offloaded the freakin ball when he had the chance. The coach has simplified his game to the point he won’t even pass. This comes down to coaching.He cant pass. Backrowers need to be able to pass.
Playing for a contract maybe... ?I disagree. He has been one of our best this year, particularly these past few weeks. He looked the goods in the middle last year, but he seems to have found his place on the edge since. Still needs to go up another gear and really solidify himself as our best backrower.
Big Pappi must have missed that sessionLove RFM and I am glad he’s staying only problem is dean has given the whole 30 man squad the same advice “run hard tackle hard”
Ffs
Thanks bro I needed that laughBig Pappi must have missed that session
Long term, I think its stupid to have him as a backrower. We should be aiming to sign 2 starting backrowers and rfm through the middle as a bench prop.This is stupid he’s agile for a big man and plays great on an edge one of our few attacking weapons. People forget that two years ago he was one of the form backrowers in the Comp and got injured in his New Zealand debut only just starting to come back to his best now great to see.
Absolutely should be in the middle. I think the way Thompson plays will allow this even more.Probably because he gets 80 minutes on an edge vs 25 through the middle. He is doing a job on the edge for us and is hands down out best option on the edge right now, but I think if you give him more minutes through the middle then we will likely see the very best of him.
I have a bad feeling they are waiting for a win to announce his extension.. gee I hope I'm wrong..Should we pop the champagne now or at the wake?
