He was fine tonight. Certainly no worse than Balta.
Lol well his days are numbered.. port have two genuine rucks next week. Will get murdered there. He is slow, and a real worry with the ball
Astbury was good deep tonight .
The ruck option not his go but first time in his career and it's a final is tough .

Astbury joined Chaos in the ‘Shit homemade leg tattoo club’ 
Was it Baker that bought up the tattoo gun?

Happy to admitt, he played his best game IMO for probably two years last night, predominately when playing as 2nd ruck.
Great to see maybe he could go on whilst we await for CCJ's big head to have more say on what he does than his little head.

They look like prison tatts
Was surprisingly solid in the ruck last night. Balta seems more sure of his role when he's the main man down back too.
Oscar McDonald just turns around and walks away
usually if these types of things happen the team mates are quick to go off at the player who hits their team mate

A bit of staging in that one. Certainly worse than anything we did last year.
McDonald didnt have Nathan Jones to back him up.
Nank or Caddy would have murdered him.
Big Dave had an interesting look about him Thursday night. Normally he just seems like your accountant who does your taxes and reminds you to top up your super partway throught the year. And his opponent generally stayed just as quiet. But I think with his increased ruck duties, and with Balta now getting the Key Defensive role each week, Big Dave is trying to throw his weight around a bit and become a team 'barometer' (what is a team barometer anyway? Someone who measures air pressure during a rebound 50?). OK - maybe he's a 'tone-setter'. Whatever.
He looked like he'd found a packet of Nank's 'Angry Big Man Pills'. Will be fun to see how this develops. He might go along the Michael Douglas role in 'Falling Down' - ie, the quiet mild-mannered gentleman who gradually morphs into a deranged terrorist. I can see Big Dave roaming the centre square, intimidating opposition mids and upbraiding his own teammates when they stand half a metre out of position and don't rove his taps correctly.
Probably not, though.

Can we change thread title to include his nickname Teflon?
love me some Dave. he was lucky though despite the world class staging. I thought he'd get a week
It was his tricep that connected and not his elbow so it should never have been more than just the fine despite what some commentators want to sprout.
Yeh he was very lucky it was his tricep and not his elbow. Thats why I'm saying he's lucky - its not as if he turned and carefully calculated how just to miss him with his elbow
