Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

[Disco]

My god Brown will be flopping all over the place with the octopus Balta on him

Just needs to not allow Brown a run at it and he’ll be fine.
Krusty needs it lace out to be effective.

The point is, he has another game under his belt alongside the best in the business.(Grimes) A steady game is plenty from Noah at this stage. He is our future and we have a unique opportunity to nurture his talents this year. Think Rance, think Astbury- neither were world beaters in their first few years.

In that case we need to make sure North's mids don't get the opportunity to deliver it lace out to the clown. We saw that even Cox can be an effective forward if it is delivered on a silver platter, and Brown is better than Cox.

what happens when Dave A comes back? Very important long term for the club that we get games into the kid.

Balta to wing to replace Caddy

Play them both. Allows Grimes to play the Rance role.

I'd push Short or Baker up the ground.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Balta is a carnievore. He eats clowns like Brown.

 

[Ridley]

Generally a pretty good game. Disposal was a bit scrappy but he kept Brown in check which is rarity for us.

 

[ToraToraTora]

Decided he was Polly Farmer after his first 2 HBs.

 

[achillesjones]

Another steady game from Noah. Really happy that he is in the side. Must stay there now.

Giants this week with the three talls, so might see Caddy out for Astbury. Any of Short, Baker or even Balta can go up to Caddy's wing

 

[spook]

Balta will never play on the wing. Ever.

Broad might.

Forgot about Broad. Plenty of options. I'm liking the taller side we're playing now, we seem more versatile

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Balta will be a ripper for RFC, particularly once he gets 50 games under his belt.

Whoa here he comes
He's a clown eater!

 

[Tigers of Old]

Good game. Beat Brown easily. By his nature takes risks so is prone to the odd error but it's exciting.
Putting a bit of pressure on Dave's spot IMO..

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Chief Balta scalped the paleface. Goalless.

 

[jb03]

Two quick handball errors but did well. Will be even better once he learns to get a couple of cheap possessions

 

[craig]

Good performance by Noah beat Clown Shoes Brown hands down, save for a few lucky kicks.

He stays even when Dave comes back. Frees up Vlastuin and Broad.

 

[Rancey18]

Leppitsch (I assume) has done wonders with Balta. Last year he looked lost when playing down back. Completely different player so far this year. Must stay in - he is our long term key back.
