Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

[WesternTiger]

Stoked! Was always going to play once Leysy declared he would miss.

:rofl

Will cover Tommy and Naks when they are both rested.

Good luck to the kid like everyone else I'm a tad excited to see him perform well on the big stage.

Hopefully he does.

Beat me to it!

Balta can play small. How does Lynch effect his role? Caddy is out. Balta gets his chance.

Lynch is certain to ruck? Week one after a PCL?

I think we pulled the right rein here.

In 2016 we were calling him Baldrick.

Stoked that Balta's getting a game, perfect opportunity to have a look at his temperament on such a big night. Hope he has some fun n manages at least one fully sick amazement moment.

 

[tigerlove]

No way he'll play round 1

Hehe, two out of two, no Lynch and no Balta hey? Maybe buy a tatts ticket, you're due for a change of luck.

someone is playing favourites.

I still reckon I could be a better coach then Dimma.

I was a bit surprised that he didn't get a run on The Front Bar tonight for 'point of the week'.

Good work Baron.
Love it. :clap

Sounds a bit like Baldrick (Tony Robinson from Black Adder)!

"I have a cunning plan, my Lord!" :hihi

Beavis out
Boldwick in.

Good Luck Noah.

Great idea to debut against the Blues and a lot of focus will be on Lynch so hopefully a bit less pressure on Balta. Let him ease into the firsts and see how he goes. Maybe he will be in and out of the side for a while but he needs the exposure. If he does well, all the better. If not, he's 19 and will get better.

Really hard to see a downside here.

[Leysy Days]

Well, Well. Very surprised. Against our usual mantra.

Hope he kills it.

 

[spook]

Not really, Leyser. From Sept 17, Lynch takes Towner's spot, Balta Caddy's. We lose no run.

 

[ratbastad]

Of all the inclusions for tomorrow nite - its Balta that has me the most fascinated. For a kid that just turned 19, I love the way he goes about it and I think with the right people around him he will come to be a dominant player in time.

Lynchy's debut WILL take the focus off him....Ill be watching him real close !!

Let's hope we do a better job tomorrow nite than we did last year in Rd1 v the Tanker Scum.

[nswtiger]

great pick by the tigers tongt

go hard son

 

[Tigeronprowl]

I hope Balta explodes onto the scene in his debut game like another blond bombshell from the past, Carl Ditterich.

 

[Tigers of Old]

I gotta good feeling that this kid is going to explode onto the scene.
