Richard Tambling threads [merged]

[Little Jackie]

Blingers is coming along nicely now. Not a standout performance by no means but he's showing some consistency now. Some crucial courageous inside efforts diving on the ball to hold it up when it looked like the Saints would clear, and he had 5 clearances himself.

Is never going to be standout player.
Who would you have if you had a choice? Foley or Tambling ?
The answer is obvious

The answer is we dont have to choose because we have both. 

HURRAH!

Why would I bother?

We dont need to and both fit nicely into the team.

Are you sure about that? I have it on good authority, from a renowned expert, that Tambling is 10 times the player that Buddy is.

Now I think that's a slight exaggeration - he's probably only two or three times better but this expert is always on the ball so to speak. He's already got 301/1 on Richo for the Brownlow so he knows his stuff.

does this expert have a complex called "Sybil"

I have been getting very excited about Blings progress this year. In the past I have been worried about his decision making skills but this year he appears confident in his ability and a huge reason why we are winning so much contested ball this year. Lids on the other hand doesn't appear to have improved and his size may be the reason.

My faith has been renewed that Bling will turn into the player we all thought he would become.

Hope renewed at Tigerland!

What did we all think of Tambling the half-back flanker tonight?

To quote somebody famous "He's a good average player" -

[shannon]

Like Terry said, Tamblings work and run off half back won the game for us last night. You never know, he may have found a position where he can use his run, may just become the next Andy McLeod

[julzqld]

Did a good job.

[mightytiges]

Not only did Blingers give us rebounding run but he also kept Davey and Woma under control. Maybe he can be part of the solution to our problem with small opposition forwards.

[TFL]

He is also now in contention to become my sons favourite player, not sure he can knock Richo off the mantel though 

[rogerd3]

average to good game, still has the goolagongs about him.

What did we all think of Tambling the half-back flanker tonight?

i think that was more out of necessity...i still think he'd play regularly in the centre....we needed someone who's able to keep up with wonaemirri and davey...JON was one and tambling had to go to the other....but it was good work indeed.....his workrate in the last quarter was brilliant.....also loved when he was on the wing one on one with davey with no options to kick to....threw a dummy and side stepped davey...BRILLIANT....
i'd like to see more of that confidence when he plays in the middle....right now he still handballs too early when in traffic for my liking...perhaps he still believes he's not physically strong enough to shrug them off.....with time...he should be fine..
