Bower

[baconb]

Anyone else get nervous whenever he has a kick? His kicking action is horrible and looks so awkward

 

[blue gunslinger]

sounds like he is getting plenty of it so I am happy with the emu. 10 poss 4 marks.

 

[BlueSnake]

He might look funny but he seems to pull it off more often than not.

I thought he was very good yet again. He isn't afraid to take the opposition on. Mark my words, we have a real beauty in the making here.

I feel quite comfortable when Bower has the ball. It's Jamo that makes me nervous. Some of his disposals are either at the ankles of his teammates, or dropping well short.

 

[BlueSnake]

On that note, I think something must be bothering Jamo.

He's just not right ATM in my eyes. The shoulder thing is obvious...but why his kicking has switched off, I'll be buggered if I know.

Your posts are far worse than Paul Bower's kicking style, so I'd sort that out first.

 

[Dikfeld]

I think hes turning into a star! Great work rate, always puts the effort in and in disposal effectiveness has been great.

Who cares. It works for him. Many players turn the ball over more than him in the side. By the way he has been the form defender, took another scalp in Reid (comprehensively).

Yeh, me!!
A decent tackling team is always going to catch him out.

 

[gbatman]

His kicking is great, hardly misses a target and always finds time to spot one up. He's an excellent player.

 

[FieryNayta]

Yeah, his kicking style looks awkward, but its only a problem if he turns it over alot, which he doesn't.

Baconb, can you please stop with all these negative threads right after a win? They aren't very constructive and totally unwarranted.

 

[blues4flag]

Very rarely turns it over by foot. Couldn't care less how he kicks it so long as it gets to its intended target.

Think it's safe to say that Bower has gone from a player with talent to a good player in his own right. Will only improve from here.

Seconded.

definitely... and if he puts on some more muscle, then he will be able to go with the gorilla's on the opposition forward lines.

When he first started he looked like a deer in headlights, basically crapped himself and got caught. Much improved and backs himself I don't worry about him anymore.

 

[Silvagnis]

Supporters have forgotten how SOS used to run and kick...

SOS was no Christou with his kicking action and running style.

 

[Kaladin Stormblessed]

Love him.

One of the few players in the team who isn't actually afraid to go down the centre corridor and take on his man.

Need many more like him!!

He still looks worried, but is very effective. Bower often sets up our breaking runs with handballs leading teammates into space or past people. Defensively hes fine now which is even more important.

 

[thylacine60]

"Hard marker, fella. WTF is a baconb anyway?"

 

[a1118374]

Do us a favour thy and never do that again. A bit too intense

Sorry, champ. Serious focus, eh? I love Emu - have from Day 1 to be honest.

 

[celtic_pride]

I've been a Bow Wow fan the past few years myself ... Love his passion for the game and his great 'spoiling' ability and meh, he's not the world's greatest kick, like most other quality defenders (Scarlett, if you watch the handbags is in reality an dreadful kick and often racks up the clangers on a regular basis) but Bow Wow is honestly one of our unsung heroes (certainly doesn't get the credit he deserves in the media IMHO)

 

[WeninRome]

the Emu just keeps getting better and better.

I no longer close my eyes everytime he has the ball.
