Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

[zgod]

Would love him on a wing or a roaming hff.

I think He could have Richo vice hands

His u18 highlight reel was like watching Stewie Lowe'd greatest mitts.

Swingman all day

Interesting. Other than in the one JLT game pre season I haven’t yet seen him haul in many marks. His timing has just seemed a touch off. Maybe just adjusting to the pace of the game? Nerves?

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Has a big role to play tonight.
Really looking forward to seeing how he performs.
His trajectory is heading in the right direction and I hope tat tonight's match will further his development in a beneficial way.
All part of his journey to being a real gun player for the mighty Tigers.

Yep. When he's balanced, he clunks it. At the moment he's still getting to contests almost surprised that he beat everyone there. Very much like Rance early days. He runs a hundred miles an hour, face first, into the contest. His marking right now is a last minute afterthought following a rush of blood to the head. He'll eventually start running at 98 miles an hour, with a steely purpose rather than Labrador like exuberance, and he'll get there with a second to balance himself. Then you'll see more Richo hands.

 

[TGM]

Yep he's like Rance alright. If everyone remembers what Rance was like early days, he had some absolutely horrific games. Noah won't play well every week, and if he and Coleman-Jones get a bit monstered tonight it's all part of their development.

Has had 6 contested marks from 8 games. Considering across those 8 games he's averaged 69% game time he's not doing too badly. Obviously confidence and experience will help in the future. He can certainly take a grab, we've seen that already.

You would have to expect Bellcho to monster them tonight. He's no delicate little lamb - 202cm and 106kg - but our guys need to make him run hard around the ground and wear him down. McKernan is a handy unit too, but hopefully really not match-fit at all.

Just have to prevent them from dominating and enable us to negate or win at least some CB clearances and stoppages.

 

[Dont Argue]

don't get me wrong, I love Noah deeply, I'm extremely excited and stoked we've signed him up. But Richo at the at the same age was other worldy, a messiah. Unstoppable at 18, Tiger supporters got number plates with RICHO, he was a phenomenon.

Would it be preempting fate if I get the number plates STACK ?

Maybe :hihi

16 contested possessions

 

[MorrisMinor]

Sensational game...well played Noah

 

[Rfc4Ever]

So raw but so good.

Has such a high ceiling of potential.

 

[The_General]

7 clearances
422 metres gained
42% disposal efficiency
6 tackles
5 i50
3 R50

Still won't win a rising star nomination.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Keeps on performing does young Noah

 

[crackertiger]

I thought he was terrible in the ruck tonight

I thought he was terrible in the ruck tonight

Kidding? Was always gonna lose the tap count bit was unreal at ground level. 18 disposals, 16 contested, 6 tackles. Pressure acts will be through the roof.
