Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

[BrisTiger24]

Erica Hipwood had no idea how to beat him. Balta stronger, more agile and quicker. Most of all Balta played too rough for poor old Erica

Balta is a back and I think with him in the team we will match up against the Eagles really well - that’s one team where Astbury and Balta could line up together.

Love watching his breakout year.

Dave and Noah in the Key pozzies is a golden luxury.

Then we have the luxury of using Grimes and Broady on their smalls as we did in 17 and 18

Amazing how far he’s come, and how quickly.

He’s at his best when he keeps it simple, and now that he’s not trying to break the game open with every possession it’s so much easier to see how he slots into the team.

Spot on get the basics right first defend and then the attacking will come like Rance did.

 

[King Kong]

Off the charts.

What do we do with Astbury???

-Does the band get together?
-Does Balta replace Chol as the -ruck/forward?
-Do we leave the kid in?
-What do we do with Astbury??

Astbury comes back in and Grimes rotates into Broads role. It will be delicious.

Has he ever had a good game at all?

Spoke well in the interview after match.
Very quick to rap his teammates.

The RFC way.
Richmond man.

Wife showed me the clip. We both said ‘he speaks quite impressive for a young man. ‘

There will never be another Rance. There may never be another Balta either..

And then there is capt courageous - the Vlas - what a mix of talent.

Jared Polec would be too rough for Hipwood. Hipwood initiated body contact twice last night. Once to push Grimes after he had marked the ball, the other to clip Vlastuin across the head after he marked the ball. He spent the rest of the night looking for space. Most 14yo bean stalks would play tougher.

But yes, Balta was great again.

his post match interview even reminded me of Rance. A guy who knows how good he is (on and off the field), but a bit 'different'.

Hipwood looks like the off spring of Caitlin Jenner.

Hipwood looks like the off spring of Caitlin Jenner.

Or a tall Nadal

There will never be another Rance.

Maybe there’s two of every kind?

Didn't we bid on him when we drafted Rioli? Pretty sure we bid on Matthew Kennedy as well. Glad we ended up with Rioli

 

[UKTiger]

The coaches must have done something to Noah off season because now he is playing with a skill set, a positional sense and vision way beyond his years and experience. A joy to watch

Big assignment on Dixon Saturday.

if he beats Dixon, dare I say, best Backman so far 2020

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Dixon is *smile*.

Not a problem with both of them in the team. Different skill sets

Dixon used to try and throw Rance about.
Reckon he is going to come hard for Balta.
I dont rate him but he is an aggressive type.
Hope Noah just plays his natural game and uses his pace etc on him.
