[Resurrected] Paseka

Really need the big fella to ramp it up from here on. I feel his best footy is just around the corner tho, starting with the Faders game this Sat. He's always been that player who teases you with his raw talent in games but doesn't quite deliver for whatever reason, loss of form, but mostly injuries that has cruelled his time with us.

Agreed. Perhaps the club would be wise to enlist JWH next season as an assistant coach.

Rather him playing for us than against us.

I have often been a critic but he has improved every season.
 
I'd rather we have him than not so always good to extend him...but...the issue for Paseka is consistency. He, like most of our pack, needs to perform to a particular standard week in, week out. His best games are outstanding but we get one every six weeks. What we need is an outstanding game every couple of weeks, mixed in with some solid stuff (I am being realistic).
 
The talent of our pack is there
We need some past folk to teach them next man in mentality
During our best eras we had thus and hunted as a pack

There are enough past champs close enough to the club who could talk about this

Seibs only needs to talk them into doing it

Choc, Gift , Kite , BK could do this with real
Life examples
And it’s not only on the field
Dressing shed behaviour after games and training go hand in hand in getting the group tight
Oh I forgot
Winning helps it even more
Over go you Seibs
Get a plan started
 
Paseka is on track for his best season (proportionally) in terms of:
  • Tackle Breaks
  • Post-Contact Metres
He is a bit down on 2023 in Metres gained overall, but that was his best year. Prior to 2023, his 2024 metres smash previous years.

He has 7 years straight of Tackle efficiency between 91-94%

Strangely, his Offloads have backed off a lot this year vs previous years - seems he has been told to tuck it under his massive wing and just push. He definitely has the size.

Great signing, his stats improve every year and he's entering his peak.

Seeing this thread raises a question.
Where is negative Nancy?
Did he go to souths with keppie to tell them how to think.
 
Whatever happened to Woodsie??? Love to see him back on here.

Now his post on Taniela was 2 years ago now and he we are still waiting to see Taniela explode in the NRL. I think we may be continuing to wait. For mine, his stats are pretty good but what I have been waiting to see from him is simply called presence. You can also throw in dominance and intimidation. Love to see that from him but I just don't think we will. I think what we see is what we will continue to get. If he wants to be the best prop in the game, he will need those other ingredients.

Loved woodsie too. But I actually think he was Sean Keppie. 😂

He has always been a slow burn. Was incredibly impactful in the jrs just for his sheer size and power but after hitting grade had to start again as it didn’t come easy.
I feel his adjustment hasn’t been as quick as most on here have wanted but he continues to improve 10% every year.
There is a lot to be excited about with his consistency for growth as to what player he is slowly morphing into.
I’m absolutely loving the recent upgrade to TP as he has only hit 65% of the player he can truly be.
As the DCE era is fast closing, I’m impressed with the direction the club is taking nailing down our new leadership core.

Certainly become more consistent and purposeful in doing his role. Just wish he got a little mean and p*ssed off occasionally
 
I don’t mind Paseka and Alioli starting the game and doing the hard grind and then Brown coming in to lift the tempo and Bully with good leg speed turning the opposition over till the starting props come back. Manly has good halves and speed all over the park so they need to be solid and make their tackles for DCE and Turbo to add the icing
