Player Watch #50 Campbell Gray

[sanaya]

unless we're set on keeping kosi as a backman, i think gray has to come in this week

i'm bauers #1 fan but bauer is not a 1st tall, and barely a 2nd, he's the perfect 3rd tall

so if it's between bauer & gray i'd be choosing gray, but i personally want both to play so there's times when ryan is resting fwd that bauer will be the 3rd tall

Reminds be a bit of Georgiades.

Yea him , Marshall , jones that tall very mobile type , just get more games under the belt , don’t rush him, Bauer deserves a shot asap

i'd debut him over blight. Means Balta can stay back and he can also pinch hit in the ruck

We will probably know more with another week of training.

They have only just arrived at the club, few simulations and so forth next week and we have a better idea what might be possible and what really is pushing it at this stage, lot fo growth for both we hope in the weeks ahead

 

[THE_GUN]

Doesn't strike me as 'crash and bash' forward...nor as the main man up forward...more as a sneaky sniper!

Wait until he puts the Richmond AFL jumper on

The Tim Lunch in him will come out


What number is this kid

 

[RJK Tiger]

Explosive on the lead, marks the ball at its highest point. Probably needs to put a bit of muscle on.

that was how i saw him too. Do you trust our conditioning team to be all over that though?

This kid needs to hit the gym like a mother-****er and get ripped like an 80s soldier from Aliens or Predator. He attacks the ball with a real menace. Give a guy with that mentality a Tank & he will be a wrecking ball, like a taller Aaron Hammil.

 

[THE_GUN]

Only takes 1 preseason to add 10-12 kgs of muscle and a good preseason to build up his tank to an acceptable level to play FF.

I can categorically say that is not true.

 

[tiger_tough]

He's going to play this week, isn't he?

 

[Morro]

He's going to play this week, isn't he?

No chance.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

He's going to play this week, isn't he?

Only if Balta goes down with a serious knee injury at training!

 

[Wooden Robot]

Both he and blight will be the best 2 key talls in history. Put your house and life savings on it right now

Your pal Cleve Hughes says hi

How come Dow has barely added 5kgs in five years?

 

[tiger_tough]

No chance.

Only if Balta goes down with a serious knee injury at training!

Better off leaving Balta in defence. Plus I reckon Nank is a chance of a rest this week which means Samson into the ruck.

Get gray in

Louie only gets his rocks off reading out our injury report on the RFC website once a week, do you expect him to do his job as well?

Get gray in

We are in no position to rest our captain and no 1 ruck.

Same reason why MRj adds 10kgs every off season

 

[Football Tragic]

While he probably needs time to learn the system, develop his frame, get used to playing with the list etc etc, I say stuff it. Let him come in and play this week when we're crying out for a tall forward! Balta has been excellent in D50 and our backline has looked solid with his presence. I'd rather see how Ryan and Gray go together. At this stage of the season, we're not really expecting a win. We're looking to the future and who will step up when things are tough.

I say, play Gray!

 

[Andyy]

I can categorically say that is not true.

Agreed.

Anyone adding that sort of weight will lose significant speed and endurance, then probably shed half of that weight over the season chasing match fitness anyway.

Most players would add half that much muscle/year when young, if that, and still lose some during the season.

Yeah most players add some serious bulk in off season and then lose most of it by rd 1

my heart says yes, my head says hes gonna get the best defender if ryans the other forward. bloody tough initiation. welcome to tigerland you're the captain now.

 

[energyquant]

I added 10kg one off-season, after we won a premiership. It can be done.

 

[tiger_tough]

We are in no position to rest our captain and no 1 ruck.

Yze said we have a few guys that need a rest. He'd be near the top of the list I would have thought.
