Tim English - What Price do you pay?

Re: Tim English - What Price do you pay?

He will get a mill a year, i dont think 900 will get it done.
A mill now isn't a mill before the increase so I'm ok with it.
Problem is we really need to get this done! Lose English and Lobb would be shizen.

If Tim were to leave, why would we trade a contracted Lobb?

We wouldn't, fair point.

Re: Tim English - What Price do you pay?

One frustration I have with this part of his game is, despite having good mobility and disposal for a ruckman, the vast majority of his touches are just so slow. It's mark, look, walk back, look again, wait, look again, and either a 25m chip or a bomb down the line.

Maybe I'm being harsh but I feel like he often stifles the transition rather than contribute to it.

I'm not saying he is perfect.

I would counter with are not all ruckmans touches too slow outside of maybe Luke Jackson?

I heard a talking media head say that once the new collective bargaining agreement comes in there will be at least 60 players on a million dollars a year

Luke has been very poor this season as a ruckman

Re: Tim English - What Price do you pay?

I just want the big stupid idiot to re-sign and for me to never, ever find out how much he makes a year, so I can stop flip flopping on it.

More a general observation than an issue with what you're saying.

It's probably true of most ruckman I guess I just find it more glaring when it's theoretically a part of English's skillset. It's also an issue outside of ruckmen too to be fair

Hmm, not sure BAD hes been very good when Darcy is out.

Game against Saints he was epic.

Agree he had a good game against Saints, but I am talking his ruck work which has not been good. When he is in the ruck, his HTA is at 33%.

He's only been poor when Darcy is back in as 1st ruck. That 2nd ruck/forward role is pretty tough on everyone.

Don't agree, both have not had a good season in the ruck. Luke is great around the ground. Anyway, I am going by stats, which I believe, for a ruckman is relevant

25 disposals 39 hit outs v Marshall as one example.
