Is a dynamite stick too small to cause some damage ?

Just ask any of the characters from the Looney Tunes cartoons lol. How many of them got blown up by a stick of dynamite on a daily basis?

Geoff Toovey

 

[HoldenV8]

Tooves - 168 cm and 70 kg
Alfie Langer - 165 cm and 76 kg

Both premiership winners. Both Origin players. Both test players.

Its not the size of the dog in the fight. Its the size of the fight in the dog.

Here's hoping you guys are right. I didn't expect him to be bigger than Ballin, that surprised me. I guess with a good pre-season training with our FG squad he could be quite the weapon.

I take your point but Tooves and Langer would get torn apart playing now if they were the same size they were when playing then.

Back then Toovey was dumping the likes of Lazarus Harragan and Maninga on their backs side feathered friend .

...for the record, Andrew Ettingshausen had the best hands I've seen...

Mrs Mellor thought the same thing.

I just watched the video of him scoring the five tries, and for most of them he was simply Johnny-on-the-spot. He definitely has talent, speed, and a good read of the game. But he was very lucky for most of those tries.

He still had to be on that spot, to take the advantage of those opportunities. Looks a prospect given his ability to back up the play which shows instincts that are on a par with the likes of Snake, DCE and Foran to follow through up the middle of the field, 'just in case'. Says he prefers hooker, but a likely 5/8 option at some point.

LOL I was wondering if anyone would say that.

Yes they were largely opportunistic try's, rather than creative try's, however he was following the ball runner, something our very own Steve Menzies did to perfection!

Beaver used to follow Cliffy around the park like a drovers dog until he retired.

Check Parcell out on You Tube. Great dummy half runner.

 

[Moops]

As somebody has already mentioned, he didn't have to do much. Just one of those days. After watching it I thought, is that it?

 

[Shoe1]

90% of scoring tries (and being a good parent) is showing up. The players that continue to show up in the right position are the ones we want.

I posted before I think he will be 5/8 but I also reckon he is a better hooker then Api.

He had to put himself into position to take advantage of those oppotunities. Its the little 1% things that separate a good player from a great player. Thats the type of player I want in a Manly jersey.

Was Tooves too small? He used to put blokes like Paul Harragon and Glenn Lazarus on their backsides and both outweighed him by about 30+ kg. And Parcell is bigger than Tooves.

Alfie Langer was another thought to be too small and he proved them wrong.

No problem with Alf being a great footballer for his size but jeez he was different to tooves in the fact that tooves use to bring them down with determination and the Alf loved to throw that little leg otherwise known as a trip and then fall on them. Just saying....

True, great fullback like support play, not much for actual hooking play though

They are tipping this Kid to Play Origin

Well if he does he might get the nickname the postman
