2019Robinson

I agree with you on those players mentioned
But ....
The magic number is not only 5 players that are under pressure to live up to our Legendary clubs standard as the greatest club of all and honour it with a long over due premiership trophy
Tom Turbo to find a way and not be shut down in finals matches
Including all the other players that did not stand up and deliver in the two finals thrashings that we had
The Bench mark that all players are under pressure to live up to
After the season he had last year I think you could virtually add Garrick to the list of certain selections. Sure his defence could improve but there’s no chance our point scoring machine is getting dropped anytime soon.
Olam got voted the best centre in the NRL in 2021, because he didn't score in the GF is irrelevant.
saab. great first year but the difference between his best and worst was Huuuuuge. as was the disparity in his contributions for when tom was in or out of the team. from memory he scored only 1 try in 8 games when tom was out but averaged almost 2 a game when he played.
with koula, weekes and tippy toes in the squad and des inclination to start young players on the wing competition is building
harper. his form as a mistake free footy player cemented his spot, but when he made a few in the big games it opens the door of doubt. . with forwards stocks high and lawnton and walks competing as utility , walks in always in the mix at centre harper can feel some heat id expect. not seeing a stack of options positionally either to switch for harper
Dce,like saab, the difference between best and worst was huuuuge. . the dce era of having to do it all has long passed us. jake playing first receiver, tom playing halfback, foran in the side, a 6 playing in the back row and 2 utilities on the bench that can play in the halves. the excuses are gone however.
the attack is being led by others, he doesnt game manage, his kicking is spasmodic despite its effectiveness and wont take the ball to the ad line. what is his role and where can he add more value than he is currently. his wait and see what tommy does approach in a year he is playing for a contract will be interesting to watch. you would assume his next contract size will depend on this years form, maybe not
get into the line to run and kick has to be his new thing to see the team improve a lot.
get game or abdicate
foran. with the shoe, dce and foz. 3 into 2 doesnt go . foz seems the most likely to miss out but i wouldnt count on it. he is the only player with a steady hand, if if he upped his possessions and kicking he could run the team
davey after having a come from nowhere season at parra manly signed the late bloomer who lost the season to injury and at his age with his experience, thats tough. with uncertainty around the back row a lack of games or another injury and he may be back on the tools. if that isnt pressure to achieve your goal, what is.
davey my tip of best to overcome the pressure.

Yeah I don’t think we see Saab do what he did last year if Walker is the centre inside
You missed my point feathered friend
You said
Olam uses everybody as insignificant speed bumps on his way to the try line
I said
There were no speed bumps in the Panthers centres in the storms loss in the finals
I disagree every centre is a speed bump for Olam
Agree he was barely a q cup player for a fair few years.
40 nil
It's only a game ...
I don't know if you're talking about attack or defence. Akuila Uate was very happy to receive four try assists from Walker in this 2017 game (cake walk v Bunnies)
Bellamy took notice what the blind ones could not see
and Olam took off in the NRL
and the rest is storm premiership winning history
This super talented Sea eagle is ready for take off
He has more God given Killer Speed and Skill than our last seasons centres
He possess all the attributes of a excitement machine . A crowd thriller that puts bums on seats
He is the upgrade we need to take the next step up to premiership winning Glory
I cannot wait to see him in the trials
I cannot wait to see him at 4 pines park with a 5 star match winning performance
All he needs is recognition and confidence from his coach
Talent not used is Talent wasted
The Super talented and King of Speed Koula
Perspective time
Walker at his best is dynamic indeed and his impact is at another level above our 2021 centres
Who are these people comparing Walker with ?
These are honest questions
How many try assists did our wingers get form Parker ?
How intimidating in attack is Parker
How threatening in attack is Parker
How dominating in attack is Parker
How exciting is Parker when we see him get the ball in the clear ?
How damaging are Parkers runs out from our line
He can be competent in compressed defence but when faster players get on the out side of him he is left clutching at thin air
The moral of this story
The only way is up with up grade in our centres
Amen!
He looks an athlete that's for sure
And the power and the glory to our Legendary club and Greatest club of all
Amen !
He is bound for Greatness
He has got all the God given flair
All he needs is a coach to take him there
Can't find where you said, "There were no speed bumps in the Panthers centres in the storm loss in the finals" in any of your other comments. Also you have confused some of my quotes in my comment to you. Anyway lets agree to disagree.
This is what I said when you said every centre is a speed bump for Olam
Not every body . Olam had a field day against us and knocked us out of the finals .
Olam did not score in the storms match against the panthers when the panthers knocked the storm out
Meaning not all centres are speed bumps for Olam as the penrith centres did a good job to contain him and go on and take the major prize
All good feathered friend . We do not have to agree 🙂
Do you think Harper will get over getting owned in Qualifier, or he just a fringe player who had a good half season and won't play first grade by end of 2022 ?
