Player Watch #25: Paul Curtis - has signed a three-year extension until end of 2028

[kangatragic]

Showed so much promise last year but been horrible this year.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Awful on an awful night for forwards. Lever showed him no respect

 

[tazaa]

Honestly he hits his head against the post and falls sick the week after and looks like a genuine plodder now.

Where’s that flair and aggression gone man?

Hasn’t seemed the same since he hit his head thats for sure.

Second year blues in a footy team devoid of confidence.

 

[DesertRoo]

Played a bit of a meh game again.
Paul played a lot out of the middle in the preseason, I for one wouldn’t mind him getting some centre bounces to try and get into the game, even at the detriment of the team.
as he’s too good a player to be doing this pointless running weekly, he just needs get get his hands on the pill and involved in the game more, his DE is quite good, strong as an ox and compete in there, it’s just confidence.

 

[tazaa]

The fukc has happened to him? Can’t just be the head knock.

zero flair and zero footy smarts on display

Nearest the pin I reckon.

Will address elsewhere but the forward line is an uncomfortable topic it might be time to raise.

Split the difference with his next shot.

Simply not mentally switched on.

Focus not there and kicks the wrong side of the ball.

The absolute headcases we have in this team.

1st quarter he gets the ball at CHF on the break and then tries to boot the pants off it with multiple players free but ends up scrubbing it along the ground to Mahoney, who tries to pick up the ball but just has to throw himself on to the ground cause it's all just so difficult so sort of just heaves it up in the vicinity of Stepho who gets duly taken across the boundary line like he's being escorted to the high school formal. Yeah, that was good s*** champagne NMFC football right there I nearly came truly.

Another young player on a downward trend. NMFC seems to do that to ya.

2nd year blues?

Thought his 2nd half was the best footy he’s played this year.
Hopefully, he can build off that because he’s been terrible from the intra club games to now.

2nd year blues?

I dont know if he is on the decline, and fwiw he is so close to being a grade but he just has a few small things to address,

this year he is likely playing to a few more instructions than his first year and possibly it's taking him a little while to adjust, defensive running patterns for example.

Iam not privvy to his junior pathway but i will take a punt ( no pun intended) he still has a litte bit of work to do such as mastering a set shot drop punt for example.

What i am seeing is he is building his core strength which may put him in a position like tippas where he could be extremely hard to tackle which is a nice trait for a fwd. He has shown he knows where the goals are which puts him in a different league than mahony and turner.

He is one of the blokes on our list i are the least worried with, by the time we are contending i reckon he will be cherry ripe.

Wish a had the same confidence re phillips (pace and tank) and comden (potential to be taylor garner 2.0)

Are you saying that his performances were below standards at the club?

 

[Harris 10]

No, I don’t know about his training standards. Just commenting the intra club games I watched he played poorly and that’s carried through the season.

Sorry, I’m an annoying idiot and was making a infra joke.

this man just won a car today! goal of the year!

the diamond in the rough!

 

[DuckYeah]

goal of the year nom

I said that at the time, absolutely goal of the week

 

[Bashnek]

he knew last weeks nom wasnt going to win it, so he's 1-upped it with a second fend. Absolute king shit

 

[Caracas]

This weeks effort was three times as good as last week. It included two fend-off’s + a much greater degree of difficulty finish. Our best goal since Boomer’s “five possies in one effort” against WB way back.
