I didn't realise you could win 23 contested possessions for ducking your head! I don't like the way the can tend to lower his body to look for a free kick, but he not only racked up 38 disposals, of which 23 were contested, he had 13 clearances and 6 tackles. I'm pretty sure it's already happened mate.

We've been through the Shuey raising of the arm issue and you've all been found wanting. Don't need to school another batch of greenhorns. He doesn't tunnel with his head, rarely ever does a double movement.
Plays the game fast and hard. Get over it.

Look that was a day to forget for the boys, bar one or two, no one stood up, it was a team thing. The heat has been on multiple times this year, in particular this afternoon, and he stood up and delivered an elite performance under immense pressure. You can't cite one game and forget the rest. He has had a tendency to go quiet in previous years, but this year he has been consistent and stood up when it counts

Because he lacks friends and players of similar capacity at WC. Next.

Apparently had 38 free kicks today.
Up front, love the way Mumford plays.
But it is not only the blocking that should be at issue but after 1/2 time at many of the boundary throw-ins, he was simply running behind Nic Nat with no intention of attempting a hit out but rather to push him before he could leap for the tap.
If you not attempting to hit he ball then its a free kick.

Piss off you trolling turkey the thread is about rucking . So many half wits not enough assylums
Speaking from experience I'd imagine.

David Hale was the master of this.
Yeah it's such an odd thing to say - it's the same with guys like Joel Selwood or Anthony Miles. Sure they might cop it for their tactics, but they sure as hell aren't soft.
(not withstanding that Shuey actually got one of those frees for winning the ball on the ground...we surely aren't discouraging players picking the ball up off the ground!)

They're not going to pick him, Mitch.

How about we ban Mumford from blocking and we ban Naitanui from jumping?

He was making no attempt to get the ball
