In Fitzy We Trust

last year & year before BHU was an 80 minute player playing 60.

9.5agree. Haas is the only other guy I'd prefer over him but on his day JFH is f**king incredible.

Go back and watch AFB vs the Sharks a few weeks ago. 61 minutes, 211m/22 runs, 111 post contact, 4 tackle breaks, 3.75s play the ball speed, 3 off loads and 25 tackles.

Just to compare from last night

Toby - 46 minutes, 160m/15 runs, 66 post contact, 2 tackle breaks, 2.58s play the ball speed, 1 off load and 29 tackles.
Kaufusi - 34 minutes, 51m/5 runs, 24 post contact, 2 tackle breaks, 2.78s play the ball speed, 1 off load and 17 tackles.

This isn't a shot at our guys but just shows the difference in style of player. We have props who are making less metres but playing the ball faster. We need a "top g" to steal a term from Andrew Tate. AFB is going to make these guys so much f**king better when he smashes into the line dragging 3-4 players in. Brailey can shoot out and bring these guys onto the ball and increase every other stat for them.

I f**king WISH AFB was playing for us next weekend.

Another comparison. Last night was a semi. AFBs stats from a non semi.

This is the danger of using apples vs oranges stats. When broken down further different strengths and weaknesses are shown up.

I'm wary of getting on AFB island so vehemently early. It's good to get him but he's just a new piece for the puzzle and I don't think he needs the high expectations yet.

One not even worth comparing in this way but still relevant is this

Offloads 2024. OK = 30 AFB = 24

	Mtrs per run	Mtrs per minute	offloads	Minutes between tackles	PCM
AFB	9.5	3	3	2.44	111 (52%)
TR	10.7	3.5	1	1.5	66 (41%)
OK	10.2	1.5	1	2	24 47%

He has been our missing ingredient the last 2 years. He and Toby have barely played together as a unit. Now push him down the depth chart and add in f**king AFB. Ooft.

If he was, could we beat the Panthers? Who would you drop if we were able to play AFB?

I'd do the Hunt out for AFB in like next year. Williams is there for his ruck defence and Hunt only played like 11 minutes.

Dunno if we could beat them but it would give us a better chance.

 

[Miller was a legend]

The mere mention of Tim Smith made me hit the search button, got a little hit as well haha

Imagine if Reefy came back! He would terrorise us over Hynes
