Thank you @The Wheel
Have a look at Caleb the Manly Man .
He is all Triceps , Biceps and his great tenacity and mental toughness is what defines him and what our bottom of the 8 Manly pack has been lacking

Caleb Navale may not be that tall but he is effectively built like a human balling ball

Id be more than happy if he took Wood's spot in the 30.

I totally agree with you feathered friend

Our Legendary club is proudly promoting a New Era
Bring it on !

But going back and signing a player from the past that is well and truly past it
IS a waste of promo space and cap space

The old and tried Arron Woods
Nothing New here

Woods is perfect at Blacktown to shape up and comers like Navale. Defensively he is still capable of filling in the A grade and doing a job for short stint if injuries hit. Truth be told Woods having a spot outside the 30 but still involved with our club is perfect.

 

[Pepi]

A lot of bite in his defense and good "leg speed". He's playing well.

 

[Adz]

Good performance in a scrappy game,playing better than Kamikamica who is a top 17 player for Storm.
Good motor,good defender with some hustle.
Good footwork going into the line.
Looks like he has worked hard in the gym from when he first came from Dragons.
Hope he gets a train and trial contract and see if he can earn a development contract.

I've seen him find his front in tackles a couple of times.

Yep,stats are just stats,but has a play the ball speed of 2.8 secs which is rare.
9 runs for 90 metres,30 post contact metres and 23 tackles and no misses.

What’s the average play of the ball speed for an NRL player?

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

I’ve seen him play - he does stand out, and is probably one of the most physically developed players in our juniors, despite not being tall. Runs hard, tackles hard, knows his way around the field.

He definitely doesn't look out of place out there. I was expecting to see a little bloke out there, but he appears to be something of a unit.

What’s the average play of the ball speed for an NRL player?

Jake T has an average of 2.91s and apparently is the 3rd fastest in the NRL so 2.8 is amazing.

 

[Adz]

Came out of line too quick and first missed tackle for a try.
First thing he has done wrong,very mature for his years though.

 

[double hoops]

If that's his first game against men, he can hold his head high tonight. Great game.

I think you might be putting too much pressure on this young lad if you have him in the NRL 30 just yet.

But he ran some nice tight lines, with reasonable speed. I would like a player of similar body shape, in the top squad, that nuggety built low to the ground.

It's getting used to the speed of the game at NRL that generally takes juniors some time. But especially if he stays playing around the ruck.

I wouldn't mind seeing how he goes on an edge actually.

Looks promising

 

[north coast eagle]

A mobile middle forward, plays big minutes and makes very few errors. Exactly what we need!

Maybe a reason for letting fainu go. Those numbers are really solid.

 

[Stewbojevic]

He has potential for sure, but that Fiji v Cook Islands game was a very average standard. Probably even lower than NSW Cup. So I wouldn’t be getting too excited yet

 

[08Dream]

Navale has ironed a few people out in defence against PNG, love to see it.

 

[Adz]

I have seen enough,sign him to a development contract.
He is an NRL player,still a lot of development,but very mature for his years.
Has an NRL motor and determination.
Hits hard,completes his tackles,works hard off the ball,runs hard,footwork,regularly finds his front when tackled.
Looks like our future lock forward for me.
