You think everything is a hippopotamus. You need to expand your horizons a little.

 

[Happy MEel]

You have to laugh at this exchange between BA and Gutho. Fast forward to 3.35 where Gutho yells out:

“Are we going to win, Brad?”

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I think it shows that Gutho is not the complete article when the coach feels the need to give him a very public gee up.

PS: sign the f**ken contract, merkin!

 

[Gazzamatta]

Oh shit. Evans is playing.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

ffs!!

 

[Twizzle]

'ave a go Clint

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Oh shit. Evans is playing.

He gets a lot done in limited minutes:

Carries per minute (minutes)
R1: 0.18 (17)
R2: 0.30 (33)
R3: 0.39 (33)
R4: 0.43 (23)
R5: 0.33 (24)

He is clearly the main attacking forward while he's on the field. Here's Mannah for comparison:

R1: 0.31 (52)
R2: 0.33 (39)
R3: 0.29 (42)
R4: 0.21 (33)
R5: 0.14 (28)
R6: 0.35 (46)
R7: 0.33 (27)

He doesn't have Mannah's stamina but we'll need his go forward off the bench now that Mannah's out.

As long as the merkin puts his head down and just runs. When he tries to be Arthur Beetson and push stupid offloads he f**ks up

He made big metres and threw three offloads against the Sharks in a win. The next week we lost against Canberra and he threw zero offloads.

Those 3 in the Sharks game were all recorded as ineffective offloads (which means the team gained no advantage and/or lost metres from the offload). Just because someone chucks an offload doesn't mean it is a good idea.

Hasn't impressed me yet. Slow off the ground. A huge negative in winning the ruck. Id rather Mannah with one leg.

Of course. It's a high risk play, but sometimes it's worth the risk.

Clint n Brad n Mitch will all sign. Happy days.

Great! Another few years of guaranteed fighting on here. It's very exciting!

In fact if I was drunk I doubt I'd have posted in the wrong thread, this sobriety thing is very disorienting
