Imagine how much more value he’ll bring when he goes from 70% league standard fitness to around 95% in 10 weeks time.

Much better efforts today..there is hope..lots of it.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Stage is set for Stringer to rip Anzac Day will have a lot of confidence after today

 

[Howard Moon]

Sometimes a new player needs a definitive moment to bring the player to his new fans and signal the past is gone. The goal and crowd high 5 was it. He's a don now.

Thought he might have handballed to Guelfi running back though after the kid made the tackle to gift the goal. Would have been a ripper moment

If he's going to stay forward I'd love him to be a bit lighter and hopefully recapture his explosiveness. He's naturally bloody strong so I don't think he'd lose much.

What did we pay for this guy again? 2 second rounders?

Yeah ..I don’t know about lighter...just better endurance and improved cardio fitness would be good.

He’s a solid lad and it’s not like he’s got too much excess fat around the guts to worry about. I like the size he is. Forces opposition to put a decent size backman on him and if the don’t ...win for us so he can out body a lighter defender.

It’s just obvious he starts puffing and blowing after a few minutes of intense contest work and needs another good 6 weeks of training to get stronger in the lungs.

Once he starts building his confidence in the mind and really clunk every mark above his head, we’ll see more set shots close in.

Hopefully.

Incredible isn’t it. He didn’t even play that well today but his quality shone through.

Today was the perfect mix - he has undoubted ability to really muscle a contest in busy traffic. So it’s fine to put him in a few centre bounces and stoppages. But other than that he stays near the sticks where he belongs.

Hey Beveridge.

It is going to be one hell of a ride with this guy.

Can we end this midfield nonsense now. Hooker down back, Stringer in the forward line.

You must love the way he seems to combine with Green.

Yep like Daniher, Tippa and Fanta he is a forward but a little run on the ball can be used to get him in the game if he's struggling or as a positive impact if he's on fire.

 

[Wangawuti]

He's a Bomber now!!

Pick 25 & 30... yaaas dodo yaaas.

I just read on Facebook this comment ‘Fk I thought Auspost doesn't deliver on Sundays but the package has arrived!’

Gold

 

[quotemokc]

Didn't hand it off to Guelfi in the open goal

Delist.

 

[blitzer]

By far the hardest guy to tackle on our list. It just seems to take so many players to bring him down.

Great game today.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

It has detected the scent of the Sherrin. That's good.

 

[Mootsy]

That goal, THAT GOAL!!
Even Ronaldo couldn’t do that.

Our history with hand balling in the square isn’t great, kind of glad he just took it upon himself to ice the game

 

[VelvetSledge]

Just so strong.

Absolute beast

 

[BomberFan355]

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

That goal was ridiculous.

 

[maskmcgee]

Forget the goals, all those times he fended off/broke 4-5 tackles at once before getting an effective disposal was pretty good too.

 

[jmoo wan]

My favourite thing about that was the high 10!

 

[faible]

If he can produce that level of effort every week he’ll be a great asset; won’t always get the goals but his strength to take on 2-3 players in close and leave space for a team mate is just as important.

As the Dogs supporters have said, there’s no query about how good his best is, it’s the consistency of effort.

Fingers crossed he shows up next week in front of the big crowd, great to see the fans get up for him today.

Loved the shepherd he put on a random Port player as Walla ran into the open goal in the last few minutes.
