Got a nice little understanding with our ruckman. Particularly Reeves.
Torville/Dean
Lillee/Marsh
Reeves/Worpel

Batman/Robin

Batman/Robin

I believe that was the Brereton/Dunstall combination.

 

[Jazzfan]

I believe that was the Brereton/Dunstall combination.

Gee Dunstall was ridiculous. My fav player growing up

 

[SSSSSS]

Had a few dodgy handballs but can't question his effort. Was one of the only players who turned up in the first half. Singlehandedly was carrying our midfield until they switched on in the second half.

Having a wonderful season.

 

[TylerDurden]

17 CP today.

What a bull.

That’s why we can’t trade him.

Duke, Day and Nash have higher ceiling but Worps is our engine.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Can people stop posting about the few poor skill errors of Worps every single time!! İt's like as if, the rest of the midfielders are pure silk who don't make mistakes!!
When a bloke is busting a gut week in week out , getting so much of the ball , he's bound to make a few errors.
İmo, he has been enormous this year.

 

[naysayer]

Key stats from today:
TH (Tackle hesitations): 0
UFF (Unforced fumbles): 0
QE (Questionable efforts): 0

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Was great today, never stopped trying. He's earning himself some decent coin with these performances. I wonder what other teams will be sniffing around, hopefully it's too late.

 

[humid hawk]

Worps is our Tom Liberatore. It doesn't matter what the state of the scoreboard is - he is just see ball, get ball. As the midfield play together more (it's half a season so far) the connection will grow.

He doesn't give up, and is never hesitant. Sign him up pls!

Good stats.

I'd like to expand the category to include:

• Second guesses
• Mild disappointments
• Lingering regrets
• % Self Doubt
• Team-mates burned

If I applied those to myself, I'd delist myself from life...

I’d the free kick stats broke down into
TT Tiggy touchwood
UH Umpire howler
AC Absolute charity
HTF Home town free
WTF self explanatory

I think we can safely say that James Worpel has not become known as the player we passed up Joel Garner for. Because who or what is Joel Garner? He probably would have become known as the player we passed up Joel Garner for if Joel Garner was anything like the great West Indian fast bowler of the same name, but he didn't.

I'm not a religious man, but we can also thank God that Worpel has saved his career. I always thought trading O'Meara and Mitchell would allow Worpel the freedom he needs to return to his 2019 best, and that belief of mine has proven true. He's such an inside beast, and the first half of yesterday was the perfect illustration of that. We need Worpel at his best, so it's good to see he's back in town.

He’s a bit shorter than Joel , Malcolm Marshall might be a better yard stick

Welcome to Jamaica Have a Nice Day

If Joel Garner is Big Bird, what does that make Worpel?

 

[Sturty]

Any word on a new deal for Worpedo?

Any word on a new deal for Worpedo?

Apprently Impey is close to being done.

An Worpel was next on the agenda. In one of mid season draft reviews with one of our recruiters speaking about our new recruits and list.

Mr. Snuffleupagus

 

[KermitJagger]

News from today seems to suggest we'll be signing him for 2 years to bring him up to free agency.

I love this. I have been very sceptical that he would relive the form from 2019 but his stats this year are almost identical to those.

You forgot
Goal kicking head tilts
Sorry mate hand ups
Bum taps

 

[MrPremiership]

Continuing a very good year

 

[MasterSamurai]

Been excellent at the coalface along with Nash! All the while Day and newc get to spread out from contests a bit more. THİS has been the change up in our stopagges lately, no more 5 mids getting sucked into the contest. The centre clearences seems to have precedence which is fair enough but not so much around the ground. Not sure just yet, but, it does have similar set up that Clarko bought in midway 2015 to me. We went from top 2 clearences team in the first 10 games (6&4) to mid table to go onto smash our way to another premiership.
Be interesting to see if that's the case in coming weeks.

And oh yeah, Worps has been extremely important in all this.
