Past #26: Tarryn Thomas - Roo until end '24

[shinboner spiggs]

Yeah add me to starting Thomas at half back
It’s one of the most important positions on the ground and we’ve got atley stinking it up there

Tarryn can play the quarterback role and he can clear zones with his kicking.

We were absolute quality when we had Dal Santo behind the footy chopping sides up. We are desperate for it.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

He’s not a forward.

 

[Devington]

He’s not a forward.

Equal highest goal kicker for us after 4 rounds...

 

[Billy Not Really]

He's whatever Noble wants him to be at the present moment.

Quiet first half, but made up for it in the second. I think he'll always be a low possessions kind of player but he's very one-touch, as soon as he gets it good things do happen.

The question is, can we change that to make him get more of it to turn games on its head, because he clearly IS that kind of player.

So Goldy and Scott are forwards too?

Get him up the ground.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Tarryn Thompson?....negative article in the media already about us on news.com and some peanut called Jasper Bruce can't even get his name right.

I really hope TT does set himseld to be a game breaker. He seems to play in a very soft manner - not saying he is afraid, but he is bumped off his feet pretty easily.

We were absolute quality when we had Dal Santo behind the footy chopping sides up.

He is a lot like Dal Santo in some respects. If he can rise to that level and sustain it at one club then he will be a ripper. But it would be nice to see him increase his aggression. He might just be a really nice, quiet unassuming kind of person so the odd rib tickler just might not be in his nature.

 

[sruss]

Sounds weird, but it seems like he’s playing too calmly at the moment. Just cruising along. Would love to see his skillset partnered with a manic attitude.

 

[Dan]

Keep him in the forward line.

I’ll say this every week if need be.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Really enjoyed his celebration when he kicked the goal to put us in front.

 

[Clarke is King]

He has improved on his output from previous years which is great, but I would love to see him get fitter and stronger so he can be more involved. No doubt he is a high impact player but plenty of guys from his draft class have clearly developed a lot further than TT with regards to fitness and strength.

Definitely needs to increase his onfield urgency.

 

[Val Keating]

I’d like to know his set shot percentage. I always feel confident when he’s lining up for goal

 

[ChoppyGun]

Is his name Ta-Rin or Tar-run?

I always thought it was the former (even called him that) and it drove me crazy Kelli Underwood stating the latter on the broadcast.

She might be right though?

 

[ChoppyGun]

giantroo you'd know?

 

[giantroo]

giantroo you'd know?

Yes, she's right. It was mentioned once that it's pronounced that way.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Yes, she's right. It was mentioned once that it's pronounced that way.

That's fine if Kelli is right! Cheers mate

Just been so used to the other as been called almost always

 

[nelroo]

That is cool.. Haven’t seen his passion like that before. Hope he continues to come out of his shell

 

[marklovesbeer]

F**k, that’s great.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Smooth.

Just needs to get more involved.

 

[Usayed Givashe]

Needs to play as our deepest attacking player.

 

[Joe Coburg]

He's whatever Noble wants him to be at the present moment.

Quiet first half, but made up for it in the second. I think he'll always be a low possessions kind of player but he's very one-touch, as soon as he gets it good things do happen.

Yeah, I agree. He's my favourite player at the moment.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Needs to play as our deepest attacking player.

I don't necessarily disagree but it really depends on the game imo.

If we are not getting the ball no point him being so far out of the play.

But if getting f50s like on Sunday sure he is very dangerous.
