Lock all the doors

This guy still doesn’t know how good he can be

 

[RightWingRoo]

That's PC, X and Chom now, who have all extended deals ahead of their contract year next year. LDU next!

 

[King Corey]

If anything we've kinda missed his steady progression to date.

Debuted year 1 (cheated of a best first year gong in a sop to the bull milker) and has shown incremental improvement since which includes some eye-catching moments.

Zurhaar, Curtis, Duursma are the sort of guys you could imagine running rampant for us in a premiership year.

I think his best has gotten better but his worst has gotten worse, would love him to close the gap between the two and become a reliably consistent performer with moments of brilliance.

Yes, gets sucked in a lot. Really needs to get smarter.

And rightly so! Those 3 in particular have been monumental in our improvement, and more importantly were playing well when we were going bad. Along with Sheez and a few others, the standards have been lifted by the young brigade.

People who don't know footy massively underestimate how difficult it is to play that position. Yes, there are areas he needs to improve but overall PC is progressing really well. Looks every bit a future match winner

Throw him in a top 4, stable, defensively tight side and he'd be terrorising opponents LT style.

 

[Its a Process]

3rd year player who is trending positively each year.

We expect a lot of him, probably too much but he is on track for a 30 goal season which is pretty decent going for a kid his age in a struggling team.

 

[muttley45]

I love what Curtis brings to the table, but anyone saying his defensive game is anything above below average has NM blinkers on...

Paul Curtis defensive attitude is summed up at the 6.55 mark of the 1st quarter.

Can't be ****ed.

He has offence oozing out of his arse but definitely needs to work hard on his defensive intensity and work rate.

On SM-G991B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Believe it or not, Paul is rated equal 2nd in the league for tackles inside 50, 1 tackle behind the leader

 

[KangaRooster]

Tank lets him down, which to an untrained eye, i'd say he's improved at a commensurate rate to his time in professional footy. He's getting up the ground and making an impact, tends to win contests on the wing when we're pressed up defending.

He's one of the very few players at the club who i'm fine with saving his reserves for attacking footy. In the coming years when he knows he's got the tickets to burn, i'd bet he'll be hunting HTB tackles as another avenue to goal and holding his own in the press.

Edit* another great extension and showing of commitment to the club.

Part of the core - well done PC

When will this mass exodus stop?! Please, can someone stop the hemorrhaging! I can’t take it!!

[Danni_Benson]

Really like what he brings. His upside is huge.

Another very important extension and another tick for Clarko.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Love this one!

He will be one of those x-factor players you're thankful for when you win a close one.

Huge scope for growth too.

 

[Nylex]

Great news!!

 

[Orange Peanut]

Love this.

I think the club coming out from the bye and deciding to play well, with an occasional win, was a terrific idea.

Seems a lot of key players are in agreement.

Gotta hand it to Rawlings & co. They're ability to retain talent is like nothing we've seen before.

On track for 30+ goals and a top 3 finish in the league for F50 ground ball gets.

His roving to the feet of three talls is one of the explanations for the improved performance since the bye

Hats off to Rawlings for his part but the signing of Clarko/Viney is key imo. Thank you Sonja!

This guy still doesn’t know how good he can be

If he works hard and has some luck then he could be something else.

Quietly tied 2nd for tackles inside 50 too.
