Mabior Chol joins Gold Coast / Tigers get End of Round 2 compo pick [official]

“He [Chol] is a great, young kid . . . he’s just taken a bit of time to develop,” Jack Riewoldt told Channel Seven.

“I’m glad we stayed with him on that fourth year as a rookie because it’s really paying dividends at the moment.

“He’s got a fantastic leap and he just gives us another weapon in the ruck . . . that sort of springy ruckman that is able to jump over the top of the bigger guys.”

I love his set shot kicking action. A few of the boys can learn from Chol on how to put the ball through the big sticks

Beautiful action indeed, looks very relaxed. Concerning that he only got his hands on the pill 3 times though, however that doesn't tell the whole story.

Due for a rest?

For the nightowls, Chol's on the Marngrook Footy Show.

Leppitsch on 3aw pre-game talking about Chol.

Chol is not a "grinder" (can't play 4 quarters grinding away). We've got to manage his game-time. Possession wise he was down last week on what we would like but his aggression in the ruck and at the contest we were still pleased with.

Thought was excellent today with his tackles and defensive efforts.

We know he’s a beautiful kick but the big fellas snaps definitely need work.

Some very important knock ons late, yes his technique around the corner isn't great, seems to have the ball in the wrong position.

[Diocletian]

He probably kick those with his normal technique.

Agility for his size is freakish..holds his own in the ruck due to his superior athlticism - will be a sight to behold once he starts to pick up the craft...fast becoming the player we all hoped McBean would be......just needs to take more marks... can't wait until him & CCJ are up & running together...

He sold the candy once again today which cracked me up laughing for a big lanky bastard to do that haha

[Slipper]

The thing that impressive me about Chol is his speed off the mark.

A lot of big guys are quick these days, but it takes them 10-15m to get into full stride. Chol is seriously explosive off the mark, especially given his size.

Interestingly, Chol is being retained and contracted as a rookie.

A bit of incentive for him to work hard.
