Stanley "The Rock" in defence.

Post: # 1311006Post saintspremiers »

Where is the like button?

Clearly it's not his natural position but he shows promise in defence and is playing the part.

Be intersting to see him against a proper side of course, but it appears he learnt well in the off season.

pretty well best preformed of the saints what game where you watching?? the best thing about his game was the no injury and looked like it would be a great spot for him to play cause he dosent have to run down the wings so hard which is where he always gets injured!!

I wouldn't be hitting the "like" button for this one. Rhys looks like a cow on rollerskates in defense, for mine. He's a natural forward. I'm hoping this was a temporary move just to add some height in the backline with the absence of Fisher.

Will be better for the run. Good to see him finish the game. Be great if he could string a few games together. Could be an important swing man.

Unfortunately, he'll only go away if we start winning.

Yes he looked ok. He has to learn how to play defense, and for someone so new to it his efforts were ok.

We need to favour players with an upside. We are now a "developmental" team.

Did Stanley really take 14 marks? Or is that a typo?
I liked his game, but didn't see anywhere near as much of him as 14 marks suggests.

Remember there was a lot of chipping the ball around in the backline.

He will only be good in defence if he has a psych standing next to him. Te boy can play but just needs oodles of confidence to. Believe in his own ability. Playing him in defence will break him as a player. All he needs to do when he gets the. Ball is run, run, and run.

I see a Stanley - Ferguson defense in the key posts. Gwilt, Fisher, Dempster, Siposs, Simpkin and Geary round it off.
