You could swing Taz forward too.

A while ago we could, but I reckon after not playing forward for that long, he probably won't have the confidence required to make a quick impact. Plus he's such a general down back, I'd be more comfortable with him remaining where he is.

I want him at CHB, but if we really need a target and he's getting beaten on the day he can swing forward.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He'd be a good match up for King or Membrey.

 

[Hojuman]

King if he debuts.

 

[Snake_Baker]

King if he debuts.

He's been getting consistent ground time, so I reckon he'll play.

 

[The Nostradamus]

King if he debuts.

Nah prefer him on Membrey
Tarrant on king
Daw on Ryder/Marshall

he has good closing speed for membrey matchup

 

[The Y Factor]

He's been getting consistent ground time, so I reckon he'll play.

Surely a lock!

As I write that I recall how many times I've thought that and been dismayed.

But surley a lock for the first few rounds.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Debuts in round 1.

[The Anvil]

Played in the ruck in the practice match. The writings clearly on the wall.

From memory a few players played out of position in the 2nd half due to necessity.

He also didn’t look too bad in the ruck.

I like the match ups, but geez poor King. He might as well switch the footy boots over to running shoes because he’d be playing decoy.

Small sample size but as evidenced by the contest he was injured in played with a bit of energy and aggression. Good to see he didn't start his North career tentatively.

 

[The Anvil]

Interesting to watch the footage again, what is an accidental tunnel?

Also, although Max King likely wasn't aware that his teammate was "accidently tunneling" Walker, did he contribute to the force at which Walker hit the ground?

When the emphasis is on the injury over the action, should King or the tunnelling player be in strife for this? I suspect not, particularly given how difficult it will be to give Max at least 2 dubious frees for goal per game if he can't be selected in the side ;-)

They are never in strife when it is on a North player

 

[ferball]

He's alright. Would.have been back on without concussion protocols I reckon.

All it needs is "we're so ****ing mental" attached on the end of it.

Has anyone else noticed North media seemed to return to its old high standards when the pandemic struck?

The good thing about the season getting delayed is; We could be getting back some injured players.

More 'content', more often, all things considered. The interviewing, not so much.

Long form Q&As with Rhyce, Todd, Ben Brown too though Monsieur Kimbo.

The quality has been good.

Really looking forward to seeing this bloke play! Club has been super impressed with his contested marking all throughout pre-season and post covid lock down.

Has shed a couple of kg's since he left Brisbane and is covering the ground better than any other time in his career.
