Official Lachie Miller

[Proud Shark]

Fitz was very forward in saying he has a lot of footy IQ to catch up on. I doubt we'll see him in the starting side unless injuries allow. Tracey deserves a centre spot and he might even miss out. I'd be happy for Lachie to play 14, I'd also be very happy for him to continue playing 6 in cup to see if he is a longer term option for us there.

 

[Sparkles]

Agree he looks good but he's played one game, let's not get too carried away.

Has Australian representative written all over him

This is true.
cos it’s already happened.

Apart from being dragged over the sideline I can't see any similarities with Gardner

Have "Mooneys" been involved with each?

 

[Paul C]

Sharks would be insane to let an Olympian go

Yep

 

[Gards]

Apart from being dragged over the sideline I can't see any similarities with Gardner

Short, agile and elusive - doesn't look as quick off the mark or in open space as Gards though the field was water logged

Fits must have Millers training down to a tee.

Last week in the presser Fitz said that Miller wasn't quite ready for NRL. One week later and he comes in and carves up!

Fiyz also me just mentioned in the presser that while Will will obviously comes straight in to the side, Miller can provide good utility value.

14 next week for sure.

Looking forward to his performances when he is ready

Will be a bit more pressure and expectation on him now though

Looked a hell of a lot safer than Gardner.

Mind you - wasn't Gardner's first game a blinder? I seem to recall him running 80m to score on his first or second game.

His try against the Roosters was in his 4th game

In his defence .
He did say as soon as he took off he could feel his leg/s cramping
BIG Effort

Should be on the bench ahead of Trindall.

Different story when Jesse comes back. If Sifa stays in the centres then I think Tracey still gets the bench spot. Can't push him out after one or two decent games.

Totally agree he should be on the bench as backs and halves cover, ahead of Trindall. For me, I'd have Sifa playing in the middle while Finucane is away, with Tracey and Ramien centres. My only thought is where Miller plays when he does come on as 14.

Similar to what we use Tricky for?
There both somewhat Nuggety guys, I think Miller could handle the defensive side of things in the shorts stints Fitz plays Trindall.
I’m guessing Miller & his footwork, especially on a dry day would be a big concern for the opposing tiring forwards

Yep I'll give that another watch

 

[Six Again]

Could be surprise packet of the year , just unsure which year .

So now we know the year

Able to give us a run down on what was said?

 

[GF78]

Was going to post the same thing. Our recruitment team are probably eyeing off some Olympic wrestlers as we speak

 

[Up-Up Cronulla]

Dude is inspirational look at the local crew who came up to watch him and the reactions from the team when he scored. Can't remember a more exciting debut since Jack Bird came on and carved the Roosters up.
