Opinion Montoya

[Mr Invisible]

I think it's fair that he get a thread on here.

Since being dropped he's returned with a lot more aggression and power in his runs, and his defence appears to be better.

Only problem is him and our other outside backs getting shittty service.

 

[Scoooby]

Monty looks good, he looks really strong since he came back, hungry to get in an Do the work, credit where credits due!!

 

[Spoonman84]

He might have improved but he’s still a mediocre centre if you want to be brutally honest. He wouldn’t get a start at most clubs.

Start feeding him quality ball and I reckon he can return to his debut season form.

He can have all the ball in the world he’s still mediocre. He doesn’t have the pace or ball skills to become anything more then a backup centre/winger at most clubs except the Bulldogs.

Trying hard with limited ability

Montoya is doing fine, least of our problems ATM. I personally think he's playing way better than Hoppa

 

[_G-Dog_]

Looks stronger and running harder... however lacks the finesse and agility to break the line with a good step/swerve or pure speed etc.. its just not in his game..

 

[ibby]

He is the only one that played good

This. Not convinced with his offloads either.

He looks good because everyone else is shit

 

[Dannyboi88]

He needed to be dropped and has had some strong runs in the last few games and his defence is good too

 

[Packy]

Yeah I agree. Since coming back he has been much better. Good on him.

 

[Bull Terrier]

It is true though our backs dont get decent ball to do something with it. Monty is better for sure

Hoppa is doing nothing at all. Dies with the ball everytime now. Boring to watch

At the beginning of the season I said for Monty to be a good centre he needs to add a fend and a step into his game... So far his bulked up, looking really strong, got a fend in and his agility is getting better BUT yesterday we noticed why his still raw and really a dumb centre. Things like blocking defence of a high ball and no awareness of the bat back which was telegraphed and running down the sideline getting bundled into touch when he should've dropped it back inside shows the kid still needs to learn his role.

I'll stick with the kid, for now and see if he learns.

 

[Baseball Furies]

Had a strong game and his running with the ball has been with purpose.

Got caught out bad when Kris scored though, was lost when that kick went up...

Thank you for saying this

He did ok but our outside backs are the worst in comp
I think okunbar smith are ok but centre pairing has to be the slowest
Some cut out balls that kieran throws if we had Chamber mitchell manu waqa blake etc those were all half chances
Our centres run back at the traffic for a hit up lol

 

[DoggieDogg]

Hoppa is doing nothing at all. Dies with the ball everytime now. Boring to watch

Hoppa needs to be dropped
People talk about Harper not ready
Well hoppa aint ready either

Has anyone ever noticed hoppa running legth of field to score ?
Look at other clubs
Chambers
Scott
Manu
Mitchell
List goes on and on

 

[Bull Terrier]

At the moment hoppa is just making up the numbers. For a senior player his a waste of time. Sick of seeing him tackled after making 2 metres. Keep waiting for him to make a break lol. At least monty is having a go

 

[joedog]

Hoppa is like he dosnt even wanna be there hes so sloppy. Every one rekons forans fucked if it wasnt for him we would be betta off stayin home every week
