Dean Collis

Guys - any reason why Collis replaced Lawrence on the weekend?

I suspect we might have won by a better margin if Lawrence was in.

He injured?

Collis with early ball, on form in 2006, with decent wingers was a rep quality centre at a tender age with plenty of improvement to go. Now we want to have a hustling centre? Benji never hits his right centre at pace, he pulls him inside to play his winger in.

It doesn`t matter how much skill you have, if your not prepared to play aggressively, you won`t get far in this game. Collis isn`t prepared to play aggressively, it`s not something a coach can teach, he either wants to play aggressively and put his body on the line or he doesn`t.
It`s not just when running the ball either, he arm grabs in defence, just another sign that he`s not keen on the collisions. Collis certainly isn`t on his pat malone in this regard, but we are slowly weaning out the players who don`t play the game aggressively which is great to see !

Poor man's Matt Gidley imo Mr Collis.

Benji doesn't usually pass to his right centre period. He stays to the left of the play. Moltzen/Morris have been on the other side.

V - I think you hit the nail mate

He;s hot the skills and the pace, but just doesn't want to seem to get dirty as we used to say.

And I don't mean play filthy!

At the end of another losing game at Concord United, the old coach used to chastise the players with the cleanest jersey's. If Mouse was coaching the Tigers, Collis would get it every week h played.

Its a contact sport FFS!!
