The Indian
Bencher
Yep he's playing his way into another contract in my book. Sign him up.
g'day all,Most players no matter their size get dominated depending where they hit it up,but footwork at or before the line makes size less of an issue which is why the hero rarely seems to get dominated. JB is the same, and he also is prepared to do the hard run when no matter who you are you're going to get smashed.Fluffy said:He got dominated hitting it up in the first 20 minutes due to his lack of size which meant slow play the balls as well. Stifled our sets a couple of times.
After the knights tired a bit he then found some room and was very good.
I would prefer him to start on the bench for 20 minutes then play the last 60.
Play an extra big boy to start then bring on ferris to exploit the tiring packs.

most players don't get belted as bad. Put on Kingdog for the first 20 as well.

Now that he's established himself he will just keep on keeping on. Worth every cent. What he lacks in creative passing he makes up for with footwork, support. He's sort of half way between Matt B & the footwork of Choc. He reminds me a little of former Manly backrower: Bruce Walker.

Fluffy im not shore you are making any sense, j king is a front rower, j buhrer is ball player a hole runner , if you look at his stats over the years u will find he makes lots of metres . Not shore putting kingdog on the edges would be a great idea

g'day all,Not referring to running into gaps but more about not allowing defenders to get set and putting them off balance and not quite as effective in the tackle.As I said watch the hero as its his footwork that allows him to make yards in tough situations as opposed to some big bopper who runs straight at the line,being an easy target for the defence.
cheers mike

I think my lack of sense comes from my spelling.
He is playing lock and takes hit ups in the middle third.
I am sure if you could find the stats for just the first 20 minutes of a match you will find he is pretty poor in terms of impact.
You state he is a hole runner - my exact point, put him on when there are holes to run into, which increase a lot after the first 20.

In which case he fails immensely until he warms up because there is none of this for the first 20
