And TBC came straight in for round 1 with no practice matches and very limited conditioning. Possibly the most baffling selection I can recall.It’s so frustrating that he hasn’t been played until round four. That was the type of competitive intent he showed in the preseason.
Yep. TBell is a depth ruckman.If we bring back Bellchambers than we have learned nothing.
He got beaten. And in hindsight probably beaten more comprehensively then any of us realised.
But the effort. Very very good.
Oh I'm not taking anything away from Philips. As I said he was very very good.I think the main takeaway is that whilst Grundy played a good game, a standard Grundy game really, he didn’t dominate or take over the game.
Philips also was solid and offered us something in return.
Bellchambers likely would have meant offering us very little, and Grundy contributing much more.
belly never comes backNo way he is dropped for next game.
Belly needs to earn his way back in.
I think expecting him to break even/beat Grundy is probably too much. Grundy dominates the 1v1 against just about every ruck in the comp bar Gawn and maybe Goldstein.He got beaten. And in hindsight probably beaten more comprehensively then any of us realised.
But the effort. Very very good.
I was just happy he provided a presenceAnd yet he's giving the presents.
What a guy.
Which went a long way as to why we picked the big man up.Two years ago when they fluked us, he was close to best on.
