Pompey proving to be valuable. Credit is due where credit is due :)

Greetings Tragics :)

Lets give some praise to Mr Adam Pompey. Nailing those side-line goals vs Manly is crucial for his confidence and being our 2nd kicker. Turning his form around and convincing the coaching staff to re-sign him (Glad we let Vailea go)

Now with the finals coming up Adam will prove to be crucial especially with SJ's hammy giving troubles with goal kicking.

Those kicks were beautifully struck.

In Adam we trust :)

Interesting timing given he had a bit of a shocker on Friday (although I guess that depends where you allocate blame for the left edge defence)

That;s on Metcalfe, He's the reason our left side sucks. TMM had that side buzzing earlier in the year. A better link man. Luke is a natural FB / Runner of the ball.
ha, i had just mentioned that Metcalfe is the issue in another post. I can see we are of like minds in some things :)
That kick from the sideline was critical. Also, I did give Pompey a point 2 weeks ago in the 3-2-1s. Might have been the only point he got.

Agree on Metcalf, he’s quick and a great individual attacking player but he doesn’t set up his outsides or defend particularly well.

Good kicker. The rest is in doubt.
IMHO I would also add good balance and strength. Manages to handle most of the big star centres due to his size. I know hes not an elite centre (RTS looming for 2024). Versus all the top-notch centres this year Pompey has done remarkably well (Brain fades aside lol)

TMM in the background gives me some hope that maybe we can get that left side clicking for finals footy.

He wants to be a half so one would think this is something he needs to be better at. (I know he's young, give him time to grow etc.)
