Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

Someone posted on twitter that he was on the ground for 119/123 minutes. Phenomenal really, especially considering he had barely been playing 50% game time.


If that's right, it sort of allays the fears that he didn't have a tank.
 
It is like Dimma found Aladdin’s magic lamp and claimed his three wishes. He asked for a player who has Ben Griffiths’ kicking, Brett Deledio’s speed and Richo’s body.

His long kicks always travel 5 metres further than the defence thinks, his short kicks sit up and invite his target to mark them, his speed is off-the-wall and he is built for contested marking.

Happy days. You can build Premiership teams around the likes of Balta and Bolton.

And Stack. Please don't forget him. Yet to make a disposal/handling error in his short career. Remarkable.

So, Balta >> Towner
Shai >> Buther
Sydney > Ellis?

Can we in fact be better than the 2017 team?

Wasn't his very first sideways kick on the back flank out on the full?
Then his second was a goal.

Easily right now.

Although maybe give you 1 out 3 on 2017 form as Towner and Butler hit their sweet spots during that finals series.

Over the journey I think they are massive upgrades in 2019.
 
Thirteen disposals against the Dockers, 10 of them contested, with 6 clearances. Gunna enjoy the ride that the Beast is going to give us during his career.
 
Anyone see Noah interviewed on ch7, or maybe it was Fox, as he was arriving at PRO in his shades on cloudy day 8-, when asked about the comparison with Rance, he said yeah he's good looking too.
I love the kid but not as much as he loves himself ;D

What can make me feel this way?
My team my team
Talkin' 'bout my team

Didn't he give himself the name notorious?
 
Yeah saw that interview on 7 sports news.

Cool as.

Reminded me of The Rancid One rocking up to AFLX on his trusty skateboard. :hihi
