Jeff White.

He got 41 hitouts last week for Willi, apparently, so let's hope he steps up against Melbourne in the big league. Mind you, his tap work has been good, it's around the ground that he plays like a girl and shirks contests.

Jeff sorry my bad

im not expecting him to turn into dean cox over night but would be happy with 20odd hitouts,5-6 marks and maybe even,dare I say it a contested possession!!!!

if he ever went forward and kicked a goal I think I would die of a heart attack

 

[The Majestic]

Maybe our rucks would have been better if Cameron White was playing as a ruckman.

The G-Unit is ready!!!

If only he slapped younger players around like tony yayo did jimmy henchmens son (game's manager). Then maybe we'd actually see him lay his hands on something either than a ruck tap.

Richards can't even talk, how the hell he gonna walk the walk???

Anyway it might be a surprise, maybe they are shit if its only 1 in the side, but together they might be a powerhouse


One can hope

Time for Richards to play with some aggression. I imagine he is quite wary of injury given his history, but AFAIK his injuries/illnesses were not impact injuries anyway. I think in coming weeks (maybe even this game) he's playing for his career so has got nothing to lose anyway. Time to show some agro, run through some packs, glare at oppo, show some presence, go for a run and bounce with aggression and attempt to fight off tacklers, stuff like that - like Bryan. He'll probably get caught a fcouple of times but at least show something! If he gets a bad injury at least he can say he tried, otherwise he'll just fade out with a whimper - probably be dropped from the list anyway.

Like the way the Joker poisoned the citizens of Gotham with Smylex? I love it!

 

[Jabso]

Was pretty good tonight. Especially in the first half. Actually showed some skills and was pretty calm. Again has Cameron Cloke syndrome, he gets in a good position to mark but just drops it from his hands way too easily.

He needs the next installment of Cam Cloke syndrome...
Give him the ar$e ASAP...

Give him the ar$e ASAP...

As much as he seems to be a useless hack I wouldn't mind seeing him have another season.

Rucks are hard to develop and they often hit form a lot later than other players. He actually showed a spark of promise tonight during that first half.

 

[jefffff34]

Him and Bryan were both good tonight.

I want to see both of them in the team, and Fraser in the forward line next week.

WoW God actually listened to me

 

[Pie eyed]

Both rucks played well tonight.

 

[jerry springer]

2 decent games in a row from my "Guy"

the horror

Improving

Yeah I think Richards has been playing better - nothing dramatic, just gradually looking a bit more solid and confident and even starting to show a hint of hardness. Since he is still improving and not plateuing, I'm actually leaning towards hoping he gets one more year to prove himself. But that would be it.

Re: Improving

Unfortunately it's Bryan who has the extra year in his contract.

At the end of the day a contract is not going to save any player. If we wanted to get rid of Bryan then we would be able to, it would cost us $$$ but we are not short of cash. Byan could easily be written off as a bad investment and we could move on.

It still goes in the salary cap either this year or if we can't fit it in we must keep him on the list. So it all comes down to if we can afford to pay out a contract in this years salary cap.

 

[Somebody]

OK but do you think Guy is worth another chance - another 1 year contract? Still at least another game so that may help decide, how he goes in a final or 2 - that's if he is even picked next week.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I'd keep Guy on as our third ruckman at the moment, after we trade for a #1 ruckman to free up Josh, and then draft ruckman #4 and rookie #5. Bryan delisted if we can afford it, if not Guy will probably have to go.

 

[Invigoration]

Did anyone actually watch him play against Adeliade last Friday?

Worst. Player. Ever

Can't believe he got named again this week, what an absolute joke.
