Anthony Choc Watmough

[Obscene Assassin]

Should be in line to take over from Lockyer for most games played. Possibly even getting to 400 games played, which would be a monster effort from a forward.

If you guys think this guy has been a decent buy and or he will see out his contract, then you need your heads read.

I will be stunned if he is still playing for us by the end of the four year deal.

The guy is a hoax, and will go down as another of many celebrated great signings by Parra that were just plain duds.

The problem though is, I could see it a mile away, so what the f**k is our coach staff doing??? It was way so freakin obvious.

Just like fractional reserve banking and money creation out of thin air.

If you throw enough shit at the wall, enough of it is bound to stick.

I am not making excuses for Choc or for the club for signing him but I wouldn't be surprised to see the club send Watmough for some much needed surgery once it is clear (mathematically) that we cannot make the 8 this year.

I must say choc's last couple of games have been his best. His experience was really crucial last night i thought. He wasnt going to play but put his hand up for the team and was one of our best.

There was 1 little moment in the 1st half which showed his experience we had back to back line drop outs and while waiting for the drop out he was on his haunches like he was injured. He might have been. But he managed to stop play for a minute or 2 and the 1st tackle from the line drop out he was the 1st to make contact with the retun carrier. That extra minute that enabled the team to get breath back at the time might seem little thing but in the big scheme of things are important.

And that is where i believe his experience is vital.

Well done choc lets hope it continues

Would you rate him Lindt, Cadbury or Whitakers?

Very good point - when I saw him down, I was cursing.

Then I saw him smash the ball-carrier and I was like, "Oh, you sly, boots!"

Love him.

Watmough has been great for us!!! He isn't a flashy player probably the reason everyone thinks he hasn't been going that well. But his defence / line speed is great, is always taking the tough hit ups plus he is bloody tough:

. Watmough – not originally named to face the Dragons due to a shoulder injury picked up in the Eels' last game against Melbourne – said he was determined to play at Arthur's request due to the side's mammoth injury toll and against doctor's orders.

"I wasn't going to play. The specialist said 'no', the doctor said 'no', Brad asked 'can you do it?' and I said 'yeah, chuck a few locals [anaesthetics] in there and I'll be right,'" Watmough said.

"I could have said no but we want to prove to people that we're there and we're a solid unit and I think [Saturday night] typified how we are as a team and we haven't been far off for weeks but we're slowly getting there.

Him and Scott are going to have a massive influence on our juniors

 

[Chipmunk]

Watmough's influence was always going to be greater behind the scenes than play by play on the field.

Parra needs people like Watmough, who played injured last night and kept going and delivering more, even after being injured again.

Don't under estimate the influence this has on the team.

 

[Bigfella]

Yep very good point

That's how pricey added steel to some of our great young talents

 

[Joely01]

But he is the worst buy of the year :roll:

 

[strider]

it's already rubbing off on our juniors - tepai has been playing injured all year too

 

[natheel]

The last 6 weeks we haven't been that far off in some of the losses and I think Choc has been gradually been getting better and better each week. His influence is evident on the field. You can see him at the start taking players aside and talking to them. He's running straighter now too.

The way he got back up and whacked Matthews probably inspired a player like Pauli

 

[The Colonel]

He was always going to take some time to find his feet in the Parramatta system. He has been at Manly for so long. He had to find his feet and get used to playing with different players. Everyone has been concerned and with some reason but it was always going to happen. His value though is as much off field as it is on.

he is becoming the leader we have been missing since hindy left

 

[Avenger]

When he gets back on the field will he even make the 17?

Of course he will.

 

[Avenger]

Best thing for him to do is retire at seasons end and become one of our defensive coaches.
