Connors Vs Tambling

[crannyvegas]

       vs     


Perhaps the two most polarising players on the current RFC list. To me the ability to make and win finals could hinge on the ability of these two players being able to fulfill their potential. Richie came to the club with the expectation that he would become an elite integral part of this team. Dan came with a bag of attitude, but an unmistakable ability to play this game. Both have question marks over their mental application either on or off field.

If only one spot on the list was available to either of these players who would you choose?

Put both in the back 6

I agree. Connors is better byt foot while Tambling has better evasion and leadership qualities. Both would be great assets off the half back line and moving up to the wings.

I agree. Connors is better by foot

Connors is ordinary by foot. Massively overrated by the fans IMO.

Are you serious or are you just taking the pee?! Connors would have to be the best low, penetrating kick in our side by a big margin. There are very few players that can kick it as far and with such a low trajectory in the whole competition let alone team. The only players that come close is Newman, Lids and (surprizingly to me) Morton.

I'm pretty confident that Connors fitness is the only issue and that once he gets that up to AFL standard he will be a solid player. I think his disposal is pretty pin point usually, but when he's tired he lets his opponent run off him, his disposal gets sloppy and he does more talking to the umpire than thinking about his own job.

That said, whether he has the desire and commitment to become an elite athlete is an open question.

Connors is open to bagging but not on his kicking.

Oh for the good old days of the Rainesy bombs

Not taking the pee. Connors has a very elegant looking kicking style, but the results are anything but elegant. All style no substance. Take a look at the footage and the net result of his kicks, it's not pretty.

I tend to think Tambling turns the ball over a little
