Apart from his epic tackling, the kid just seems so composed. Never wastes a disposal.
Crap antman, absolutely shanked his kick at goal last week ;D.
 
Has anyone played in front of a higher average crowd in their 1st 5 games than he will have after Saturday?

Well that is true.
Should we dud delist him.............................................................................or get on the ordinary try hard nuffer for the rising star next year?
 
sloane would burn him off I reckon. still just a kid with no tank. but he is getting a hell of an experience!
 
Just listening to SEN in the car. They had the Champion Data bloke. Only 4 games sample but Graham is the no 1 pressure player in the comp.

That's quite amazing. Kudos to the coaches who have instructed him and the young man for being able to execute on that.

Pick 53 eh?

Some great names in there, including Max Oppy who tagged *smile* Reynolds out of the game in 1943. Carve your name in history, son.

Actually I fell that wont happen.
Watching the last 4 games the Tiger players are still sprinting to positions mid to late in the last Q from the bench.
Majority of the opposition have not been doing that.
A lot of opposition players look exhausted compared to us. Our conditioning has been fantastic. Kudos to that new Olympian coach we are using
