Official team R17 vs Giants

[WilliamPowell]

Out: Jack Graham (omitted)

Will confess didn't see that coming and find it surprising

Thought last week was close to his best game of the season

Also, He tackles to hurt, GWS hates the tough stuff. Perfect person to execute tackling hurt

[Diocletian]

In: Bobby Hill (debutant),

Looks short , fat & slow...

Sounds like they just threw a dart at last week's team sheet...

[Assange Tiger 😎]

You'd know the real reason he was dropped if you were at training this week

What did he do?

[Chuck17]

Didn’t wave at the groupie hanging off the picket fence

I like the kid but I must admit I think he has stagnated this year.
Imo he doesn’t seem to have the same dire efforts or work rate as he did in 2017.
And he misses tackles now and makes some serious mistakes with his disposal.
He was so clean in 2017.

I really don’t see where he fits in our side. He is not a genuine mid, unless he is tagging maybe, we have better, quicker options up forward and we are all set for HBF.

His tackling and his pressure used to be his “one wood” but as I said he has even stagnated in those areas IMO.

Needs to find that manic pressure back but also a few more tricks to keep up with the younger ones coming trough.

I don’t see him in our best 22 when everyone fit.

He had a shoulder reconstruction last year and it often takes a long time to get power back so I'm not surprised his tackling isn't as strong even if his numbers are good....

^^^ this

Takes a good 12 months to (a) get full range of movement back in the joint after shoulder reco, depends how "tight" they staple the the tendon including strength and

(b) because of (a) takes time to get fully confidence back

He is not even an emergency.
And Baker and Higgins are in front of him by a mile.
Butler’s days are numbered.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Calling for the softest player in RFC history to come into the side on a shoddy day is one of your worst ideas, Tigra. Rather have Soldo play as a small forward than see Butler again TBH....
