I think Drake's biggest problem was that when he broke through into the top grade, he either wasn't worked hard enough or didnt put the yards in himself and hence became a slow lumering target.

tsoulos seems to me to be more willing, i hope, to put these yards in.

i agree, Drake did have lots of ability and potential, but let himself go so to speak and didn't use his potential properly

and Tsoulos has been injured, but looked last weekend as if maybe he is over the injury, becaus ehe played like he can, rough, tough and hard

Or maybe Greg Drake did too much of the weight/strength training and lost whatever small amount of speed he had? It wasn't so much he was a lumbering target, but his immobility in defence in the middle of the ruck #-o

But during those years he wasn't alone in that regard...

Tsoulos is probably another player (Graham, Cayless) that needs a long break, to come back fresh and firing like he can.

Some of those guys were actually pretty decent players.

I always liked Greentree, I remember him scoring two tries in a 40-0 flogging of the gold coast one year!

Oh yeah - its easy giving it to me while you all were sitting up the Ken Thornett stand each and every week from 90-94 isn't it?

I'm sick of my name being slandered as one of Parra's worst ever players. I tried my guts out for this club and given the fact that i was on match payments, i think i added alot of starch to what many considered, a creampuff pack!


Fair dinkum!
