Shane Tuck [merged]

[mightytiges]

Tucky was flying in the second half of last year so those stats aren't surprising. Arguably our best player in that period.

Sugar is much maligned but until the younger guys start matching his output then he'll have a place in our 22 even coming off the bench and pinchhitting in the midfield and on a HFF.

For all the Tivendale fans he was in the top 10 (ninth) for inside 50s per 100% TOG  .

It's helps playing against Melbourne lol. On ya Tivs  .

i was reading those names thinking yeah that sounds about right till i saw Richi Vandeburg's name, sorry i meant Kane Johnson

Geez One Eyed, you gotta stop setting baits!

[camboon]

And he gets his own ball

[Mr Magic]

Tuck's tough as a truck but he's no  lamborghini.
Suspect kicking will always leave him short of being called a gun.

According to Fighting Tiger, Tucky has been the sole Tiger to play every game under Wallace. He's also had 3 top 3 finishes in our B&F in those 4 years.

So much for Richo being injury prone.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Simmonds on 75 out of 88 means he has missed only 13 games in Terry's 4 Year tenure.
If all were missed in 2007 it seems to me that he missed a whole lot more games than 13 that year.

[Infamy]

Simmo played 10 games in 2007
He just played most of them well under 100% fitness so had a much reduced impact, however he still did pretty well considering the circumstances.

Touch wood.

Cogs       34

To completely change the subject, could someone please tell me what's the go with the taping and plugging of Shane Tuck's ear every week.

[Fishfinger]

Heard a player say last week he has a problem with his eardrum which requires an operation. Has to keep it covered until then.

[TigerTime]

he has had this issue for 3 seasons now

[Infamy]

He has a burst ear drum that won't heal
Has had recently had an operation on it which still didn't take

[Rodgerramjet]

Can't handle the sledging from the opposition or the dummy spits from Richo 

[mightytiges]

Tucky has a perforated eardrum he copped while boxing. He's going to have an op at the end of the season which apparently will finally fix the problem without any risk to his hearing hopefully. So he's going to play through the season despite it being quite painful on windy days when the air blows across the ear canal. That's why he has that ear stuffed with cotton wool.
