Maybe dazzler. But I don't think you can underestimate the importance of a player playing the role assigned by goody. And i reckon ANB does, most particularly in the distance he covers. I understand the knock on his game but my gut tells me plays round one.

We got one win away from a GF appearance with him in the team

Like tmac said in the commentary box his role is to be the last line of defence. Move across and back as required to force the opposition to consider the kick inside 50. Said rhe work he does is hard to see. As you say he will also take the opposition big in a man on man, almost traditional full back role allowing may and lever to intercept and be attacking defenders. A very specific role that means he will not get many disposals or kudos for that matter. Lots of one percenters and not much razzle dazzle. Key is he plays the role coach asks him to the letter. I sudpect unlike frost.

His comments bout his brother were also interesting i thought, which in summary were: Has bulked up, putting on 4-5 kgs of muscle Much stronger through the hips and core Has had a great preseason His (important) role is playing the deep last line If you are watching on TV or if live not watching him closely, easy to miss his positioning not grasp his role Would like to see him be more offensively minded

Last year, sure. I'm not sure about that this year.

Is don, is good

A poor man's frost is some sledge

Which aligns with goody's comments more or less. The ones the hun bizarrely made into a headline saying more bad news for Harley.

I was the opposite end of the ground. The ball was nowhere them. A masterstroke by barrassi. Smith was towelling Matthews up. Lost all respect for Matthews that day. Thug.

I hope they have their very best side in. And realise half way through the first quarter they made an error rushing players back as some key players struggle, others get hamstring tightness and have to sit out and still others both. We win easily and the only annoying thing is having to listen to the commentators talk about how unprepared the eagles were not how fit and fierce we were. Oh and the umpires are woeful so that is annoying, albeit expected. But given they are down to 15 fit men we are not too worried.

This thread is a liability.

I'm looking forward to frost ball bingo

In the Twitter video on the harley thread of him joining in a kicking drill after kicking a beatiful drop punt he runs to the drills starting point where maxy makes a point of going to him and giving a high five. Love it.

I boycotted the Napier many years ago. Lived in the area and it was one of my (nany) haunts. At one point they banned footy jumpers. Around that time a group of mates and I rocked up after a final win (night game) and we were pretty boisterous, but no problems. We were in the back bar playing pool, singing the dees song and generally having a whale of a time. A bar staff came and warned us patrons in the front bar were complaining about the noise and told us to be quiet or leave. We left. Imagine that a front bar in old worrying about good natured post footy hub bub. Have not been back since. I was a regular at the rose when Dave owned it. Huge tigets fan. There were regular lock ins. Matty Richardson worked tbere for a while as a young fella. Nice bloke. Rubbish barman.

The roar is not journalism

Correct on all three points.

I rarely listen to podcasts but listened to one those (i think) on the recommendation of poster on DL. Maybe it was you doc. It was really interesting.

Not quite sure what your point(s) are DS. Mine is that people watch this sort of content. I just did. A few times. And the other clips that fell has put out (i'm not sure who he is by the way) The club should be firing off exactly this sort of video content as a cheap, easy way to engage fans. It's a no brainer. On sponsors the players are wearing new balance gear and their training jumpers have the sponsors logos on them. Sponsor would be more than happy with the exposure. That's what they pay for.

A couw of thoughts from those clips. Firstly combined in less than 8 hours they have had over 1000 views. Given they are in no way notable, it shows the demand for video content. And quality is not a worry. Secondly the jackson v may clip shows msgs strength but also highlights how quick jackson is to recover. He will be tough match up up forward. If you don't out mark him and the ball hits the ground he is likely to get to it first.

I listened to that track, all 22 mins of it , a couple of days ago. Good cooking song.

I think he was referring to the legends of German music, Kraftwerk

Agree with this. Also i reckon this is the first uninterrupted preseason he has had. So he'll be fully fit and raring to go.

Hard to argue with that. At point he was a best 22 lock. That is no longer the case.
