Jade Gresham is a jet.
Would like to see Blake in the centre for a few. Would be a good mix with Gresh, Jack, and Blake in there.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 19 2018
That was a piss poor effort from Savage

I've now lost count how many times Geary's poor decision making and pathetic disposal has cost us today. He would not get a game for 17 other clubs.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 19 2018
Blake's disposal is rusty... Perhaps why he didn't get the call up before

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 19 2018
Selection persists with the wrong players.
Blokes like Maverick "the big bad wolf" Weller lack hunger. He's an automatic selection, week in week out... He's not under pressure. A raw guy like Connellan or Paton would be playing out of his skin to make an impression.
Sad really

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 19 2018
Looking at the stats sheet you would think Geary has had a good game. He has not.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 19 2018
I don't know that I'd go that far, but how many kicks inside 50 has Geary had? I've counted at least three. He should be banned from kicking inside 50, as we know his kicking is far from precise. We need to have our good kicks finding our forwards in good position.

With a bit of match fitness, Acres will turn over 50m kicks instead of 20m kicks.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 19 2018
at this level kicking is a prerequisite which shows how undermanned we are.shrodes wrote: ↑Sat 28 Jul 2018 7:33pmI don't know that I'd go that far, but how many kicks inside 50 has Geary had?

I think Mav is a cluey guy... He's snuck off for a great northern or two! Clever bugger
