I missed having a bench fatty in this team. My heart has been yearning for one since George Rose left, but now Vave has filled the hole in my heart.
So I think it's time we gave him a Silvertails nickname. He has earned it. I am torn between just so many of for him.

vave is a deadset rissole
Plus he always runs straight at the defenders, scattering a few on the way with his mass
He reminds me very much of Nood for that very reason....runs hard and straight up the middle, just like Nood use to.

Vave is a poor mans alternative old school version of getting go forward in the modern game, throw more weight behind it son that will move you forward.
You need to the right balance of leg speed and toned weight to offer long term consistency not a slow lumbering heavy force who at times turns side on when bracing for impact.
He will have his good stat moments but needs to lose another 7kg "at least" before we can rely on him being a consistent fit danger.
The bloke is one Big Mac away from returning to his previous weight is that the type of player we want to rely on as our consistent go forward.
At least with George Rose the bloke actually had some good leg speed behind all that weight and a small step lol.

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Rose had a surprisingly fast play the ball also.

For his size i actually admired his work rate and speed, not saying this is what Manly need but with his size working against him Rose still had an element of speed about his work.

I for 1 am happy with Vave's impact
Good metres, great momentum & more important than a debate on Silvertails, is Manly's lift when he is on the field.
He just looks like he loves the contest. Loves to tackle, loves to run with the ball, loves to win. He will be an asset in bringing this team together.

I'm sure most are happy with his impact i'm not convinced he is of long term benefit.

keep some faith till he proves otherwise TC .....seems that big body that creates some momentum that in time, once combinations are smoother ... Could be a huge asset.
