Congratulations Vella

[GoParra]

Absolutely terrific, I can hardly fault your performance tonight, full of heart, agression and looked like the Vella of old.

fo sho

he showed heart and tenacity. his defense was super-supreme

i loved the hit on kennedy

 

[Redback71]

very impressive indeed held that ball pretty tight, cant fault him tonight

 

[Eelectrica]

Agreed. Great to see a couple of guys who have copped a bagging in Dykes and Vella starting to repay the faith shown by Smith.

 

[parra pete]

Credit where credit is due. He had a blinder tonoght.
He has been much maligned. Is this his turning point? Hope so.

Yep, great game Micky. Top stuff. We really need to improve our goal line defence though (not picking on Vella here). Almost cost us the game.

 

[Twizzle]

We should have waited till at least one game before we bagged him.

Any way good game, go Mickey.

We should have waited till at least one game before we bagged him.

You never know... maybe in some strange cosmic way it worked

As I have written in another post, we need to keep Vella motivated and keen. He is by far our most mobile Front Rower and we needs his speed around the play-the-balls. I am sceptical on some of these other players we have in the Front-Row though, I just dont think they are good enough.

Great effort though Mick Vella.

About f---- time

 

[Pazza]

[Suitman]

I also have to congratulate Micky. Superb performance.
Inspirational.

What is your problem with Stapelton, Chipmunk. He has made good hard yards every single game he has played this year and has been our most reliable prop. He never drops the ball and he's aggressive in defence. I think he's a fantastic interchange.

 

[Goleel]

Good to see him lift with Cannings off the field, that hit on Kennedy was top notch. Loving his performance, and with Kativerata gone the side is looking a whole lot stronger.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Vella did have a good game tonight but he needs to do it more consistantly.

THat performance and Cannings injury have saved Vella from a stint in reggies, but yeah if he can keep that up then he might be slowly getting back to his best.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Stapleton has been great and would be a chance from promotion into the starting side with Cannings now out.

 

[Parraren]

Stapleton has been great and would be a chance from promotion into the starting side with Cannings now out.

I agree. I've also been very impressed by this bloodnut. He's got some agro in him which is also good. I'd like to see Tsoulos come onto the bench (if his form has been good in Prem's) because he can compensate for the loss of Cannings size.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Much better Mick Vella.

 

[Jake the snake]

He played well last night but I want to see him play like that week in week out before I'll say that he is back.

 

[The Colonel]

He really stood up tonight and it was as good a display as I have seen from him.
