Yeah Laird doesn't provide much run either. Also not a long kick. Great interceptor.

It's why when Brodie Smith is quiet we're generally rubbish
We're comparing the trio to the GWS trio.

Shaw had 39 last year. Wislon had 68 and williams had 21.

We have laird with 40, Brown with 37 and smith with 103 is absolutely a fair comparison.

Wtf are you even trying to argue here?

I don't think one nominated ruckman should be pinged for blocking the other nominated ruckman. Now that there is no third man up, it's a 1v1 contest. If one ruckman is strong enough to hold the other out, too bad, get stronger.
He was clearly in the wrong position. Stupid free.

Ok. Not sure why that one metric has become the only measure of rebound.

The comment was that Williams, Shaw and Wilson are the best rebounding trio of defenders in the competition. As always on here, there cannot be any praise for an opposition club without a chorus of arguments about how we're actually No 1 in everything.

So suddenly we're trying to say that Luke Brown is a lightning fast line-breaker surging out of defence and spring-boarding attacks.

Actually he's a Nick Smith type which is not a criticism.

We're heavily reliant on Brodie Smith for our run and rebound.
