And the player who was so good he had two nicknames "The Doc" and "Mr Magic"

There is something about Tauru. He gives off a very different vibe to the likes of a Billings and King who you can tell just really feel the pressure to perform.

He has massive BDE. Kid is going to be a star.

I’d rather him be an elite forward than an elite defender, any chance of becoming a forward?

Actually seems to be a happy self confident kid. To me Caminiti is BDE. Tauru more like ascendant zen energy. BDE is an insecure energy. Beach muscles because you’re a wounded man child who over compensates. BDE is a 30 second rabbit run. Tauru would be more tantric guru.

I thought he was a bit quicker than those lads personally. His kicking looked pretty good, and he seemed to run in good positions more often than not. It's a little hard to gauge what he has, since he's been sub. and the rest of the team can't seem to execute basic skills at the moment.
You may be right about him not having a point of difference, but he's hardly been given the same chances as those mentioned either (due to his own injury and runs on the board from the others)
I'd give him a full game...he might just show something, and if he doesn't...are we any worse off?

Yeah agree but I get the sense they can't fit him into the midfield rotations right now so I reckon he's better off getting more inside mid grounding in the twos.

Will almost definitely play forward at some point - versatility was one of his weapons in U18s. They'll probably do the same for Tauru as they did with Sharman/Keeler in trying him at both ends and settling on one position later on

You would have to think he gets a look forward at some stage.

He speaks so well for a teenager

Says he will move in with Mason Wood

soon and sees himself playing both defence and forward going forward

Besides being a solid on field contributor Mason Wood has been an unbelievably important off-field asset for us. Get the feeling he could have a very impressive coaching career when he hangs them up.

 

[SG34]

Can you believe we beat them last time??? 2024!

And only narrowly lost the time before that! The year they won the flag!,

Do you believe in yesterday?

Last time.

Battle (24 disps)
Bonner. (444m gained)
Cordy
Byrnes (21 disps)
Henry (kicked 2.2)
Jones
Membrey (goal)
Ross (22 disps)
…and King (3 goals)

All played.

Higgo 4 goals, Steele 26 possies, Windy 24, Marshall plenty, will play tomorrow.

The Viking invasion starts tomorrow.

I don’t know what else to hope for.

I really don't see how we lose when the Viking kicks 8 goals from CHB

That is a very reasonable summation.

Cannot wait for Vike to take a speccy and then kick it to Coops who will take a speccy.

That was a great win, though sad that a few too many players have dropped away in form when we should be going the other direction- Steele and Byrnes have dropped off this season, and Wood was badly injured during that game, and has also dropped away this season, then we don't have extra goal-kicking power in King, Membrey or Henry, or the strength of Battle down back. Been a bad season in our overall development so far, when we should have been building on good form of later last season.

Bring out the Blood Eagle! (figuratively I mean it is Collingwood but still)

 

[KingJim]

Go get em boys!

 

[SG34]

The Viking will become the third arm of our nuclear threat up forward. With three arms to prove it.

Tauru will be the 1st rookie to win the Rising Star from 8 games

 

[SainterinSydney]

Can you imagine all the campaigners in here if Viking hasn't taken a speccy or kicked a goal within the first 2 minutes of the game.

 

[hayes]

The midfield mix will be interesting. Jones and Carroll out and Pou the only inclusion who you’d think MIGHT play there, so does he play there, or does he replace Clark forward and Clark go back into the middle?

Clark has attended only 3 centre bounces in the two weeks he’s been back, but was that the plan, or did he only go forward because Pou went down very early in the first of those games?

Steele, Macrae and Windy are certainties in there you’d think, so that presumably leaves either Pou or Clark as the 4th.

Unless we pull a surprise with Sincs or Nas.

 

[hayes]

I’d rather him be an elite forward than an elite defender, any chance of becoming a forward?

I think we see him as a Tom Stewart type and they’re worth far more than a gun forward IMO. Every premiership team has one of them.

Trade bait...has been nothing but a disappointment.

 

[hayes]

Happy enough with the changes but I would’ve loved to have seen Garcia and Boxshall in. Probably too hard to get them in as well but I just really hope we go past the Steele-Macrae-Windhager bore fest in the middle.

Looking forward to Saturday night watching Ross Lyon looking all bemused and him and the selection panel wondering why the f**** Higgo doesn't simply bring it to ground when he finds himself in a 1 on 2 contest against Moore and Howe.
