Noah Balta - Sign 7 Yesr Contract Extension [merged]

[TigerLand]

Premiership defender.

Enough said. Leave him back and draft bloody fwds.

[MintOnLamb]

After watching Cameron on the wing and Remembering Richo on the wing I like the idea of Balta on the wing? Might be with a try

[Diocletian]

Richo on the wing was a one off freak and we've been looking for another one ever since....the closest to another would've been Franklin but two separate clubs never seriously tried him there which is testament to how out of the box Richo was....like everyone else I've toyed with the idea but Balta has neither the tank nor smarts for the wing....is under utilised in the ruck though IMO....that's the first place I'd move him if you wanted to mix things up...but he's a defender first & foremost and always will be...

Yes I do think he is a defender, but why not put him on the wing for a 1/4 or 2, could not do any harm especially this week end

If any one asked me what is his best position id say defender its a no brainer.
If anyone asked me where he is most needed because of a lack of other options it has to be as a forward.

Until we actually find another HIGH quality kpf to go with big Tom, who lets face it is already 32, so we need to be looking for TWO high quality kpf's then Noah is better value to the team as a fwd just for now.
My vision at one stage was Balta Gibcus  Bauer  Miller as our options going forward and i have to say id love for that to be the case throw in two kids i like and think will be very good LONG TERM Smith and Tezise we have the pieces for a long term succesful back line already.

Circumstance says for now we have to change that backline because of the dire straights of the forward line. there is only big Tom Lynch who is 32 and the injuries are coming regularly. Seriously ask what else is there its not hard to answer. We dont have an option but play Noah forward AT THE  FREAKIN MOMENT.

Very few if ever tall defenders go on to become good key forwards. Noah imo can be very good at both ends.He is an exception. A lot of tall forwards have gone on to become very good key defenders. Think about the point being made here.

[Wazza]

Well let's just play him in the guts. Can't be any worse than Dow

We have a kid who can play there in McAuliffe bout time we gave that kid a bit of help which excludes Dow.

Given the injuries to our talls and the types that are left where do you think Noah is best suited to a developing team for the rest of this year.

Atm we actually have plenty of options to try as defenders, but very few realistic tall options forward.

I laugh at the fools who talk about development and structure and are so unrealistic about it as they go.

We need at the absolute minimum some tall fwds with some experience there and an abilityb to at least compete Balta at a minimum offers this. What is a better option for this week.

“I laugh at the fools”….


 

Do you ever stop touching yourself?

[Andyy]

Balta should play backline with Miller and Blight.

Gray will have to go forward with Ryan or Kosi or both, who can both ruck relief.

And you wonder why people have a go at you?

Just because people don't agree with you doesn't make them fools  You cannot resist dishing out a subtle whack, belittling

Your opinion and that's all it is, your opinion. Doesn't make it right, doesn't make it wrong but it seems in your world it's your way or the highway

Here's a tip ....

Quit with the uncalled for insults and stick to giving an opinion

What a crock of poo. There are dick heads here who are always dishing out the insults and never a word said. How about applying that tip to everyone.

While im copping it i will give it back.
If you want to ban me so be it, i don't really care but if you do, just for once  apply the same to the others who do nothing but take cheap shots all the time.

WP calls out others quite frequently, DIO and Franky Hack to name a couple.
