AFB Monster

[maxta]

No Kapow - but this bloke done it all...massive carries, offloads and big hits...
Young gun Haas must now know what its like to face the worlds Best front rower

 

[manlyfan76]

Really killed it tonight. 200m and all flat out.
Kept our middle tiht too.

What i love is that the few times we have lost marty, AFB seems to thrive and actually play better knowing he is the pack leader! Brilliant effort!

AFB looked like he was looking after his shoulder in the 1st half, but stepped it up in the 2nd.

The funny thing is Paseka made a heap of carries...and this 1 time he winds up...almost looks angry and I was like "Damn who wants to get in front of that"?...and they didn't, POW - he stampedes through 3 of them and ran 20m....then after that...half pace, stop, turn...I kind of have a theory with this bloke, there are 2 major issues halting his progress...imo.
Paseka slows down to turn looking to offload , which is common for players who offload frequently...also has so much concern about hitting the grass tries to stand and in doing so, actually takes longer to play it after dancing with the defenders....what I would love personally is just see him come from the back fence not thinking offload - just run through that wall 100mph with nothing else on his mind....wanting to simply bash that wall apart...I think his best footy will come off the back of that ...

He was huge in that second half, monster!

 

[winnyason]

Yeap showed last year form

 

[sheridanstand78]

He got us back into the game, lifted the team with Marty hurt, he showed leadership tonight!

 

[Budgie]

AFB won it for us tonight.

Paseka and Levi have the same problem: they don't know how big they are. Paseka thinks he's smaller and Levi thinks he's bigger.

Felt like he went for 60 odd minutes too.

Agree. He is too soft in attack

 

[Dan]

AFB has to be in the top 5 props in the game

Gave away some a couple of dumb penalties in the first half but then really stepped up. With Paseka, I thought his first stint he showed some strong carries. That said, I agree with @maxta 'off the back fence' comment. He needs one instruction and that is get 10m past first contact.

Name me four better....

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Said it in another thread but it's worth repeating: he's not only our best front rower, he's our best forward, full stop. We can win a premiership with this guy leading the way. Without him, not a chance. I wouldn't trade him for anyone.

 

[StuBoot]

Massive second half.
To be fair I thought he looked disinterested in the first half.

Agree and that smash and bash style sends defences retreating quickly and is really hard to slow down and get in control in defence, leave the offloads to Marty.
