Pick 63, 2017 Ben Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.

[tigerhalsey]

Going into the ruck changed the game

 

[Brodders17]

Looks far more accomplished in the ruck then Balta. I will play him in that role again ahead of Soldo.
Balta goes back to replace Grimes.

Who goes back to replace Miller?
Not Short after today's effort.
Maybe we go smaller with Hugo?

Port have a few talls.

Tarrant to Dixon
Balta to Marshall
Broad to Georgiades

The question is who plays on Gray.

Mansell maybe?

 

[btoz_01]

Played very well when used as relief ruck

 

[btoz_01]

Well if Balta wants to *smile* up crucial shots at goal -
He’s seen what happened to Castagna and Aarts

Balta is not a ruck or a forward He’s a backman

Balta goes back to replace Grimes.

I wonder if that's too much common sense for the match committee.

 

[bringbakflemmo]

Looked like a natural ruckman when he went there in the second half.
His mobility and pace for a big man were very handy today.

 

[The_Celebrant]

In the second half, what was Ben's role and position when he wasn't rucking? And how did he do in that role/position?

 

[Timmy99]

In the second half, what was Ben's role and position when he wasn't rucking? And how did he do in that role/position?

Forward and bench. He looked good on the bench.

 

[tigerdell]

Forward and bench. He looked good on the bench.

Some of my best games were on the bench

 

[tigers1980]

Mansell maybe?

Georgiades

Port have a few talls.

Tarrant to Dixon
Balta to Marshall
Broad to Georgiades

The question is who plays on Gray.

I suspect Georgiades will be out this week. He looked pretty banged up.
I think they will go with Gibcus on Gray.

Flossy

Rioli

 

[Ridley]

He's going very well. Surprising me for a guy who's been on the list 5 years and has only played a handful of games. I guess sometimes all you need is opportunity.

Persevere.

 

[Jason King]

Asked to do a lot and I thought he was very good. Got pinged once or twice with some silly ump calls in the ruck.

 

[tigertim]

He’s developing, slowly, but developing.

 

[Brodders17]

In the second half, what was Ben's role and position when he wasn't rucking? And how did he do in that role/position?

he only played 19% of the last quarter, so bench. I dont think he and Nank were on the ground together in the last at all.
He got 2 disposal in the 2nd half, but at least he didnt stop us scoring.

I hope they persevere tho, and dont bring Soldo back.

 

[Punt n Brunton]

We have three first rucks in Nank, Soldo and Ryan. Form, injury and opposition dictate who plays each week.

The pre-season should be spent developing Miller and Biggie as genuine second rucks.

And never again should we play two first rucks in the same team.

 

[French Tiger]

Didn't get a lot of the ball when he was in the ruck. But he more than held his own when in there & to me like others have said should be given that role again next week with Balta down back. Balta looked much better down there & with he & Tarrant with Broad as the 3rd tall is a pretty formidable trio.
