A lot on here won't like the stats.Just read the fullback story on the NRL site, good read, interesting to see Brendan Elliots name in the list and Tries saved per game had led the way.
Also Brad Arthur’s view on the FB position.
But the most powerful part was slater’s comments at the end of the article.
worth reading!
if that happens surely some decisions have to be made, by the way @Mark from Brisbane you just put the mockers on him. Everyone can blame Mark when it happens
He does it all the time. Mock from Brisbane.if that happens surely some decisions have to be made, by the way @Mark from Brisbane you just put the mockers on him. Everyone can blame Mark when it happens
Ironically, we were saying the exact same thing two hamstring injuries back, let alone this most recent one. He just keeps getting injured and we just keep saying next time. Sad state for everyone.if that happens surely some decisions have to be made, by the way @Mark from Brisbane you just put the mockers on him. Everyone can blame Mark when it happens
He already does.
About $1.1m worth.He already does.
Oh yes - he was bloody dependable - he always gave his all and was a great fill in wherever he played. He might not have been a super attacker but he was all effort - few mistakes and totally dependable. Yet again the fools on here who sledged him... have absolutely no idea! And boy could we do with him now and boy could we do with someone who is all effort and heart!A lot on here won't like the stats. View attachment 17428
Our run in 2019 without Turbo was bookended by Elliot. Sure not an attacking genius but obviously a pretty good defensive option.
So many calling for Him yk be sent packing would probably welcome him back right now I would guess.
The article in question highlights why we have leaked so many points over the last 11 matches. FB is the glue that holds the defence together.
If and When Tom get sback and fit I guarantee we will at least halve the amount of points being put on us.
I never understood the criticism of Elliot. He was only ever a backup and mostly did his job admirably. I know he got injured and likely wouldn’t be here now but I’d have him at fb every day ahead of Walker. Obviously not the greatest attacking option but could still cross the chalk.Oh yes - he was bloody dependable - he always gave his all and was a great fill in wherever he played.

Reminds me of Johnny Gibbs. Game breaker and one of those brilliant players who could turn a game in an instant and often did (remember one astonishing game at North Sydney Oval, when a nearby Norths fan near me said they had that game won, but for Gibbs. Suddenly he just exploded and Manly scored a couple of tries off his runs out of nowhere). But ongoing injury just when his career was reaching International level and he was gone two years later. Gosh I hope this is not deja vu.Very sadly it’s MORE likely to happen than LESS likely.
Mock or no mock.
I have grave fears for our Tommy, but that’s just a gut feel not any knowledge.
agree totally - a wholehearted player and we need them now... badly!I never understood the criticism of Elliot. He was only ever a backup and mostly did his job admirably.

Tge try save stats are not surprising.
I have no idea why we let him go. We got to the semis in 2019 with him as fullback.agree totally - a wholehearted player and we need them now... badly!
