This is what happens when you have a player just getting use to first grade then you drop him out of nowhere for 4 weeks then expect him to come back in and be up to speed

Happens all the time and the coach still hasn’t learned
What did he do that was so bad? Gave up a (very dubious) penalty? Surely we are not judging our middles on their kicking skills are we?

I like Jesse but miss on Ponga wasn’t great
That’s a tough call on the bloke. That play where a defender in the kick chase dives at a guy running sideways happens dozens of times per game. It’s a nothing play if Hazelton doesn’t miss Ponga or if Williams is where he should be.

This seems a lot like people have the sharksforever blinkers on. Hazelton and Williams are immune from criticism, so this must be Jesse's fault.

Jesse Colquhoun - Final
I have now done the analysis for all of the games which Jesse played in. Here are his final numbers, with the scale for defence bumped up a bit (I think attack was weighted a bit too heavy).

I'd be shocked if overall he doesn't have the highest level of involvement for all middles. Low minutes, big motor, insane defensive work rate.

A reminder of the scale here.

Attack
6 runs in half a game at 50% possession, spread across the field = 165

Defence
20 tackles @80% efficiency in half a game at 50% possession = 165

* Note that the model tracks involvement and usage. It does not measure performance.

what his size comparsion compared to dale?

I think we are still looking at being a small pack and the only big boy we have is hazelton (which towers over all of them)
I wonder size wise to Gal in his prime

Colquhoun and Finucane basically same size I’m pretty sure.

Hunt and BHU are both over 110, but under 120. Not sure how much bigger our pack can feasibly get unless we swap our McInnes for someone 10kg+ heavier.

Can swap out all the guys around the 105 mark but most of them are playing longer minutes, so now you’d be talking about finding especially big for guys, which aren’t especially numerous

I reckon that is the plan.

The “play Toby/Dale less and give Cam/Jack/Tom more minutes” crew is looking at it from the wrong angle imo. Jesse is the man to play those minutes in 2024, and in 2025 he’ll be playing more than Dale.
Thinking Sifa will be playing minutes in the middle as well - needs to be factored in ..

The make up of the bench will be very interesting ..

I think JC is bigger to be honest but have no stats to back that up just a gut feeling

If Uele, Toby or Hunt get injured I have a feeling we may see Jesse get a starting spot in the front row this season for a couple of games. Would really love to see him start and see how he handles it.
