Jones?

 

[The King!]

Should give Allir a go one day why not this week

 

[robbieando]

They would bring Jones in for Ted and go small. Horse has hinted that we are happy to do so before the start of the season.

Also they would play XR before Aliir if they went like for like

Aliir that far back ?

 

[The King!]

Confirmed by club

As long as Laidler is fine its no big deal tbh

 

[swansfan51]

We need a disciplined, good defender to replace Richards. Rules out Jones, so who is a chance?

 

[grimlock]

Richards played on the most dangerous Southport forward on the weekend Jack Anthony. Aliir was used a bit in the ruck.

 

[The King!]

Ted hit himself in the cheek with his best on ground trophy?

By the same token you said "defender"

Haven't seen much of the 2s I guess
Like for like Aliir is better as a floating defender like the role ted played on the weekend
Reads it much better
All depends on the role in one which plays

Immediately realised my error, it might have looked like I was calling Xavier a defender... post edited

Poor old Jones, long way to go to win over the mods

Is Xavier that bad?

 

[Punts]

Be right for the Tigers I reckon

I have no issue with him personally, just needs to clean up some of the free kicks he does give away. But I would have him in the side

He would be good holding a skipping rope because he automatically stands that far away from someoneand would have plenty of room to spin it

Yer the 50's he gives away are dumb and likely why he was dropped.

Nah seriously lol no good then?

 

[Punts]

Jones has got to prove a lot more to cement a spot imo

 

[The King!]

Jones just need more of the ball
Not give away frees
Stop his opponent getting the ball and he will be good

 

[tizzay7]

I hope Aliir gets a Crack this week or next week. Unlucky for ted, he was just starting to hit his straps. If we throw Aliir in i believe hes going to show something.

So basically he just needs to get better at football? Fair assessment IMO, if Towers can also get better at football there's nothing stopping him from being in the team

 

[The King!]

Nah seriously lol no good then?

Maybe he improved in the last few weeks

I only vote Allir so I can see if he has something, but i agree with the consensus we will go small

Only if laidler were out too would it change
