Goodbye Mabior Chol

We can trust him to support Nank but in today’s game you can’t just be a second ruck and sit on the bench. He,ll have to compete up forward or elsewhere.

Can we trust him to perform is the massive question

I've had some doubts myself, but I am going to be a Chol believer.
Like other posters have mentioned, it is a massive chance for Mabior to make a name for himself if he's got the desire to produce his best.
Good luck, Mabior. Much of the Tigers' success in the finals could well be as a result of his efforts on match day.

As mentioned my issue with him he goes missing needs to stay involved.Talent plenty there.His ruck work has it been ok or not up to scratch?.
 
This is your time young man. Time to stand up. You've got the talent but can you bring the intensity required for finals footy. It takes no prisoners.

If you can't bring it I'd rather play Jack Higgins as 2nd ruck.

This is it Mabs! Do it!

Yep , need to be getting inside his head now , he is presented with a massive opportunity, and there is no doubt he has natural ability, just has to be believe he is the man to seize the moment , so much of sport is between the ears

I reckon he gets next week and depending on how he goes maybe MAYBE the first final to prove his worth before they opt for the unconventional mid/ruck. An opportunity like this may only ever come around once - if at all.

It’s big boy month and time for Marbs to put his big boy pants on.

All this 'can we trust him' crap - we will be a better side with Chol in. Will take us to another level.

I love what Ivan brought us, hes a warrior and hes consistent

but I also don't dwell in the past (except the '18 prelim, I just cant shake that one), and I focus on the positive.

The Chank combo is compelling, it always was.

and I like your bullishness SoJ,

he can take us to another level.

Mabior for Ivan unquestionably brings added flexibility IMHO

So true now Kiwi.
Get into his head. Get Ivan into his head.
Kid has an amazing opportunity through bad luck of a teammate.

Cause he can be dangerous forward.

I hope we get the hungry Chol back. Hopefully the break will have freshened him up.

Can't afford to carry him, he needs to step up to be a dominant target and competitive ruck (which he did earlier in the season)

Better with Chol than Soldo? No way. Chol has proved nothing. He’s got it all to do.

I hope he can but ifSoldo is fit he’s in the team ahead of Chol for a final 100% of the time.
