TPJ

[a dogs life]

Simply the beast.

When he plays like this he should be on the bench for NSW

 

[Wally D]

I like that our tries today came from players other than JAC. It shows we are not a one man team when it comes to try scoring

 

[Philistine]

You read it here first

TPJ will become the games best forward while he's playing for us!

Take that to the bank!

Sorry, I've got to disagree with you - he's already the game's best forward.

Shouldn't need a utility benchy if reed can play 80. If needed topine can fill in at some point.

 

[BMOC]

I think TPJ is the games best forward. He is a destructive wrecking ball. He owns the middle in defence and hits hard and dominates the ruck, he does the small stuff like sprints all out from marker to apply pressure on opposition kickers, and he gets about 8 offloads a game after attracting 3-4 defenders. Most games this year he has set up a try by himself in games where we have been getting smashed too.

How does he only have like 1 try this season ? He is so damaging

I agree. What other forward has as much impact other than Kikau. Can't wait til we have both. If TPJ can be consistent and not do any of the stupid stuff he will be playing for NSW soon

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Correct! Luke Thompson needs to go. King is 100% better than Thomspon and more consistent.

Thompson could be very effective if and when he returns. He needs to be told to follow / support TPJ and pounce on those offloads. They could form a great partnership.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Probably Sutton

Fucking Sutton... So many better players we could have signed instead. Hopefully he isn't a big flop because we don't need them anymore, there has always been one recently, Clay Priest - Joe Stimson - Corey Waddell.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

No wonder Bennett rates him so highly. He has had a big influence on our last 2 games. Went out to destroy the RCG and the Parra forwards and just killed the tigers with his offloads today.

I don't know if I've seen someone offload at will luke he does. He gets offloads away when he looks totally wrapped up. It's insane. Maybe SBW?

If that’s our team keeping in mind the cap space we are going to have soon, we should be able to buy another gun winger, another impact FRF and an out and out superstar Half.

If TPJ was disciplined he’d be playing for NSW already. His attitude almost dictates how the team plays. One of the quietest blokes you’ll meet but his actions speak loud. Beast

He has been sensational, his second phase play for us has been enormous

 

[True Blue]

I might be a bit harsh he is a beast only thing to make him the best would be faster play of the balls

If you watch him closely, you will see that he gets gassed quite early.....I am not sure that he is fully fit at the moment. He certainly does plenty of work to get gassed, but when physically stressed he is inclined to make those silly decisions and mistakes. A good player and forward leader for the team, but I think that there is more yet to come.......

 

[The DoggFather]

Just want to add that I loved how he jumped 5m in the air after JMK scored.

 

[Scoooby]

Beast mode, can’t not love him!!

 

[Cujo]

I might be a bit harsh he is a beast only thing to make him the best would be faster play of the balls

100% this is a big problem!
He gets caught up in the niggle & usually has a slow play the ball making it extra difficult for those coming after him.
He needs to just get up and play it.
I always felt the sign of a selfish/selfless player was the speed of their play the ball & the effort involved. It doesn’t get recorded as a positive stat for the player but has a massive impact for the team by allowing your teammates more opportunity to make meters.

 

[Benno Bulldog]

TPJ chased Hastings hard worked of the ball yesterday

 

[TOTTO]

RFM playing a role too, it’s a great balance

Been playing great , bit of a suprise for me.

Not surprised at all TBH...

 

[TOTTO]

Hopefully we can keep him long term.
