Sipley - Impact

- Start date
Very happy to see the big guy (all 120kgs of him) in the team and playing well. It’s been a long road back after the broken leg in May19 and then no games in 2020. We’ll done Tof. As others have said with more match fitness his game will get even better.

Yeah Keppie certainly had a quiet game.

Kepp made 1 good charge busting the line, but then threw a dumb nothing pass that Tigers picked up and went hot on attack...in fact I think it led to their first and only try...
Kepp does hit well in defence though and adds some steel on that side of the coin

In Keppie’s defence,for the majority of his time on the field,the Tigers had the ball,granted he was to blame in one instance,so basically he was defending for the most part
It is pretty scary for opposition sides when you bring a 120kg monster like Sipley off the bench along with big Marty. Now that's impact!

I think he goes to the same hairdresser as Morgan Harper. Maybe they get a father /son discount ?

Sipley did really well and a couple of his charges set up the platform for our creative players, He is getting better each week. Our pack is youthful and strong!

Siro Boyle and jetski say hi.
Football is about taking opportunities and Schuster, Big O, Sips and the Harp have done just that.
Sips looks to be building his fitness nicely. Played longer minutes yesterday. Kamikaze runner with a quick play the ball.

gee he was good yesterday with great energy and huge carries. Great game. Also he is from the old school of footy - do anything to get the upper hand even though I gather he and Api might be good friends from his Manly days. Got to have a giggle at this. Just some sneaky big boy behaviour

Api who?

Sips has been great and the best thing is with more game time his only going to keep getting better, should of been in the side ages ago, he has the opportunity and the ability to be the most damaging front rower in the game, I hope we lock him up before someone poaches him, his game won’t be going unnoticed by other clubs and their recruitment drives, please keep him in our colours.

Sipley getting 30 mins last two weeks, over 100m both games with great post contact numbers.
Defends better than expected too.
Defends better than expected too.
Hmm opportunities come to those who wait evidently. Who would have thought they were streets ahead of our first choice players like Suli, Boyle, Gosiewski, Sironen etc

He often won the contact with 2 defenders still getting off the ground as Sip played the ball
