As many as he wantshow many inches is he getting?
He needs extra girth not inches .how many inches is he getting?
It’s not the size that matters but how we use him.He needs extra girth not inches .
Hopefully the days of getting pulled out early are now behind him.It’s not the size that matters but how we use him.
At the moment he fills a hole out wide and it seems to be his MCG spot. He covers that area back and forth over and over and over again. He seems to have amazing endurance which is what the fans want. He only stops when the climax comes which is a tribute to his understanding of the game.
Look, so long as he has enough protection in-game I don’t think there’ll be any need to pull him out early.Hopefully the days of getting pulled out early are now behind him.
Good. Hopefully keeps him in the game for longer, nothing more disappointing than him going off prematurely.Look, so long as he has enough protection in-game I don’t think there’ll be any need to pull him out early.
Weird that he was 200cm when we drafted him but hasn't since put on a cm or two. He still seemed to be able to win taps, even double-handed. I'm interested to know how well he jumps.Fits in the team pretty well as a your classic Ruck/Forward.
Nice mix that he can play a more medium HHF role and has good pressure.
Finding a mix with Caddy CHF Jones Wing Cox Ruck/Forward has been one of the best parts of the season for me as it means we can fit all our talented talls at the same time
I remember him taking a screamer during his first preseason in an intraclub game.Weird that he was 200cm when we drafted him but hasn't since put on a cm or two. He still seemed to be able to win taps, even double-handed. I'm interested to know how well he jumps.

Less likely to need cover when he plays that role too unless we’re concerned that he hasn’t been tested in a while.He can pinch hit to plug a hole out the back too.
Yet sharing your cox is preferred?Sorta makes you feel for these guys - The coxless 4.
. When there is no cox, it is referred to as a "coxless four".

I like what Cox is doing for us right now - but I fear his ability to perform as he gets older. Can see him struggle to get up for the big game as he ages.
You totally had that ready before we even drafted him!It’s not the size that matters but how we use him.

I got aroused just writing it. Phew!You totally had that ready before we even drafted him!
Is it on the prohibited list for athletes?thankfully there’s medication for that particular issue
