Mansplained Two Metre Petra off the park.
What is it with these red-headed step-children Petra and Francis? Are they sisters? At least in cheap shot bitchery?
Francis. By god. If it were a Tiger its thread would dwarf Tambling's. Is it a footballer? (Not an AFL one.) Pick 6. ROFL.

Tarrant has always been a very good footballer. I think people have been quick to jump on his form which is probably a little unfair considering his transition from norths system into ours. On top of that - until last night he hadnt really played with the full complement around him back there. Makes it interesting when Balta is fit again. Beaten McKay and Wright which shows his capabilities.

Not finished yet , love him playing footy with Gibbo and Balta , such a great on field coach for them
yep, written off much too early.
gives us the possibilty of swinging Balta forward as cover for Jack or Lynch.
Me also.
Hope it's a springboard for more consistent performances of a high level.
Yeh he’s less than a cat is Francis. Hope he’s on a long term contract at the bombers
Yeah I guess we should phrase it as transitioning into a system for the first time.
Dimma mentions this so much, I almost wonder if he doesn't think whatever they were doing there wasn't much chop...
Understanding our system and a "hip" complaint many have been the public explanation. IMO you have a very experienced defender who came into a club that has set incredible standards since 2017. Reputation and experience would make an instant impact in our defence, that did not happen.
I think there is a level of expectation, urgency, commitment, application that will lead to a much better output. He know if he plays under expected from him, Dimma is happy to throw in a 1st gamer (Biggie) or <10 gamer (Miller) in his spot. He has to realise that Balta will soon(ish) be back and knock on wood, our other key backs stay injury free, he must keep performing well. I can see Gibcus having 1 or 2 more managed spells but the young tall back certainly deserves his spot in the 22.
Competition for spots is probably a new thing for Robbie (without being too disrespectful of North) - this can only be a good thing for RFC.

Can anyone pick Robbie up from Tullamarine and drop him back off at Arden St?
