Garrick

[Disco]

Such a valuable player in our squad Rubes.

Love him

 

[Carl]

I gave Garrick my three points last night but I think he had more impact in attack combining with saab and dce at right centre against the phins.

 

[StuBoot]

When Hughes scored from the Warbrick offload he was filthy, gave an almighty spray to the guys back inside who he obviously thought didn't chase hard enough.

Played with heart and passion like always. Never shirks the tough stuff either.

 

[Daddycool]

He always plays his heart out. Effort and intensity and perhaps just as important, accountability.

I still think his best position is on the wing. Although he’s certainly improved many aspects of his game, that he could cover both Centre and Fullback. Although if he was to cover fullback, the extra energy required does effect his goal kicking.

The only thing I wish he’d get out of his game, are the stutter steps. For someone his size, he should just try to accelerate and cover the ground as quickly as possible, into the defence. I’m not saying he should run directly at defenders. Obviously try to pivot at the line, to hit between the defenders then, he’d be a chance to break thru. At the moment, he turns his back and submits which often leads to a dominant tackle.

I'll give you one guess who the inside player(s) were..
Hint, his name starts with A, ends in I, and sounds like a hamburger sauce.

Garrick put in a huge effort last night and was our best on the park. DCE played strong. And get ready for it I thought Woods and Paseka were our best forwards in a well beaten pack. Finally Schu’s feeble effort when the Mammoth trotted past him to score was disappointing. Sure a scary tackle to make but he didn’t have a go.

Better to piss him off and pay out his contract. His heart isn't in it anymore.

Reubs had 134m today with 45m post contact, 3 tackle breaks, 2 line breaks and 2 tries including a fantastic winger’s try… also came up with a couple of good defensive reads that stopped vermin momentum…

Who would have thought his best position was on the wing? Oh wait, literally EVERYONE except Reuben and the coaches… Manly’s own Lomax…

Hopefully his last two outings have forever put to bed the nonsense idea that he is a centre.

Our right edge defense still looked awful but I think that rot was actually starting with Waddell being too slow.

I think DCE is the root cause of our dodgy right side defence he quite often rushes up leaving a gap, or moves in on a man on his inside not trusting our inside man to make the tackle

I agree with that normally but DCE already looked to be doing his best to slide right to cover huge holes when the Rabbitohs scored down that side tonight

 

[KaZa]

Much better on the wing

 

[Uk eagle]

He's a world class winger but only an average centre. Keep him on the wing

 

[manlyfan76]

It's like two different players.


All his top games are on the wing.

 

[Bearfax]

I see him as a good centre but far more effective on the wing.

 

[mickqld]

Much better on the wing but he's being paid centre money now. He better get his goal kicking radar back. It's already cost us 2 games.

 

[mave]

Would have been better off taking that winger money, and adding three SOO top ups every year.

 

[JakeyB789]

I actually think he was improving in the centres this year but he always has and always will be a better winger. It also never made sense to me how we were essentially experimenting with him there for a year and a half when every other move we've made has been to try and win in the short term.

If and when Turbo eventually goes back to fullback, he should stay on the wing with Lehi going to the other, Saab out and Talau in the centres with Koula.

Question...could Lehi become an effective centre, both in defence and attack?
