How well is this bloke travelling? Love his hardness and the flexibility he gives our backline as he's a quick and mobile tall. Really tough and rarely loses a contest. I'm a big fan at how quickly he's settled into the side and how well he's going 10-12 games into his career. Deserves credit

He makes the back line better by being there too... 

[dwaino]

Still prone to some deadset howlers which are amplified in defence but his decision making can surely only get better with more experience. Probably not a better backline to learn from though.

Apart from one poor kick he was exceptional

Apart from one poor kick he was exceptional 

This, i can only recall one poor kick/decision, apart from that he was simply outstanding last night and played with a poise that belied his 10 game experience. His pass to Floss for Floss's goal was great, setup like he was going to have a shot, and had the guts to hit the pass. Got some smarts and have I mentioned how much I love the fact that hes tough as nails and rarely loses a contest?

Interesting i thought he was very poor

First half he looked so far out of his depth, we had a coule who did but with him it shone

Poor decision making and some of his kicking 

[Owl]

He had a couple of stinkers but soaked up a lot of pressure for a inexperienced player in a final imo, will learn from it.

He and George are the most vulnerable.

[Yeahright]

Yep, looked like the weak link in a solid backline. That's including Bachar and Ellis. Can recall more than one awful kicks too. That being said, I don't think there's anyone to replace him and he offers enough

[Francois Jackson]

agreed, but  he also gave off a goal to Nick V which was timely.

There will be no changes and nor should there be.

[Fluffy Tiger]

He and George are the most vulnerable.

Agree. These 2 would be players 21 and 22 if I was voting all the way down. The thing is though is that the back line looks very settled and he can interchange with most of the positions there. This group down back is very interchangeable, can swap on to different players and he is a cog in that machine.

I dont normally like Dermie and his making up of stuff which normally makes no sense. Last night he made a good point. A lot of the current backline has played together for many games now (couple of years). They know what each other is doing and this is what makes it all work. I wouldnt change that atm.

[big tone]

I thought he was good.
He does the things good backman do naturally. Block, second man up and just generally helps out his fellow backman. He is no Rance but he hasn't put a foot wrong lately for an inexperienced player.
Some players are just easy targets for forum nuffies. And others are just excused from any criticism.

[Owl]

forum nuffies...hmm, that is a term I haven't heard since a certain Jackstar used to hang round here

[Diocletian]

He generally good but he still worries me heading into the PF and hopefully the GF....apparently he was BOG for DE%......which says the the probem wasn't (abd isn't) how many mistakes he makes but when & where  he makes them....

[cub]

Great weaklink
