Player Watch #30: Charlie Comben - signed til end '27

[zoomba23]

Goes 10% too hard. Not sure he'll ever shed it. Probably needs to if we're to make a play for success with him in the team

 

[Midas]

When he gets that every contest doesn’t require every sinew of effort and chooses when he goes, will be a premier defender.

In 3-4 years will be a Legend of our club.

Part of that will also be trusting his teammates, or possibly being aware they exist in the first place.

I think it was Garry Lyon on the Fox commentary that mentioned he might not enjoy being Chom's teammate after he crashed a pack and obliterated Pink. That's not a Chom specific problem, mind you, lots of our players get in each other's road down back, in the middle, and up front, but Chom goes so hard he's more likely to send one of our own to the ER.

 

[justroyal]

Plays better when seeing red

 

[koshari]

Typical stupid moments but sheesh that tripple effort on the boundary line was great. The gap between his best and worst is vast

 

[backtothedraft]

Was immense last night

 

[amaz199]

Some crucial efforts in the 2nd half.

He just doesn't know how to dial back the effort meter. Always 100% lol.

 

[muttley45]

Some very nice spoils last night, it aint all about intercept mark's, he seems to be starting to read the game a lot better

Yep. Probably needs to practice punching to the boundary line though.

 

[the big lebowski]

Definitely defending better. All be it from a low base.

hadnt even started in defence at the same age as Chom now.

Every reason to think he’ll get better year on year

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Has definitely improved his one-on-one craft this year. Still has brain fades, but did a good job today (assuming it was him on Morris).

 

[TruRoo]

Has his bad moments but has improved week on week

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Does some braindead shit.

But has risen to B grade.

Heart still goes to mouth if he’s forced to try a short kick

Was on Allen from my view. Corr on Morris mainly. That said Allen benefited from free kicks with only one being Comben related.

That is the majority of the backline tbh. Simple like dinky 20 meter jobs we stuff up way too often.

 

[Clarke is King]

First game in memory with no brain fade moments! Thought he was great - way better one on one and blocked nicely a few times for Griff and Bull to intercept

Did shank a kick OOF early in the game.

But other than that, yeah a good solid game from Chom.

 

[amaz199]

We missed him tonight.

 

[Passmore]

We missed him tonight.

Was a huge out. We just don’t have the depth at the moment to cover the loss.
