Bigman’s Training Reports

[Pugsley]

Certainly half bank flankers - probably should have found a way to exit one, so we could get a developing tall.

How about those training reports?

Hope so.

His comeback was pretty remarkable. Looked completely gone before that run of games at the end of 2023 saved his career.

Think our midfield mix is perfectly suited to his skill set now. Surrounding him with Dawson, Rankine, Draper, Peatling and Rachele compliments him really well.

His skill set shouldn't be impacted by age and hopefully he can stay injury free this year.

Agree with you. Not having Sloane or Laird in the midfield works to the team's advantage massively. Crouch is now easily best 22 for us heading into 2025, a situation I could not have predicted 2 years ago.

I wouldnt say "easily" but he's absolutely earned the right to start there.

I gotta say - I was wrong and Nicks was right on that call.

He missed all of 2021, Played 11 games in 2022 and was dropped several times. He looked average in his first game in 2023 albeit as a sub - and then was dropped again. Many were pissed off when he came back in round 19, but since then he has been hard to fault.
