Official Thomas Hazelton

[BurgoShark]

Seems to be going for that quick play the ball. Gets hit and drops quickly, with his body shape I'd rather he just keep pumping those legs and go as far forward as possible

Can’t we have both?

If we can only have one, I’ll take the quick ptb every time.

 

[BurgoShark]

Gotta love the big idiots enthusiasm though. A handful of games in and he's demanding the captain's challenge

Also thinks 3 is a handful.

 

[Proud Shark]

This guy ****ed a PTB & our challenge; no worries.

People get anxious that Williams might drop a ball so he's gotta improve that.

I'm not knocking Hazelton, **** happens, but the reaction to actual errors vs potential errors that don't occur is pretty funny.

You're not wrong. People are treating Jack's errors last week like they are a continuation of when he had butter fingers in 2020.

Both should be the aim, metres first though coming out of your half.

Find this guy to be a bit basic/average

 

[sharks2010]

He's a bit of a lug and doesn’t have the best lateral movement
Trial specialist

Yep I'm not seeing it. I think people like him because he's big.

 

[Wilson]

What’s he done wrong?

 

[The Punisher]

Hes 'ok'
He comes on, works hard when called upon, what more can we ask.
Wont be on the biggest salary either
If we want a blockbusting 30min wrecking ball from the bench we have to sacrifice elsewhere.
Plus fully fit he doesn't make the 17

He's still young. Hope the club gives him more of a chance than this forum does!

I’m a fan of his defence, really sucks the energy out of the attacker.
Needs to see a running coach tho, needs to learn to run with a lower Center of gravity then he will be set.

 

[MMsharks]

love him!
even if he is a quality trials specialist!

did his job
was almost one play near the line he got through when they had a man down, but hey, let he guys settle in

we may be relying on him.

Plenty of Hazelnut fans on here mate.

Just turned 24, dominant in NSW Cup, doing fine in the role he has been given in the NRL. Early days.

Toby and BHU at the same age were in their first NRL seasons.

When they count tackles do they include the ones where a player adds weight to an almost completed 2-man tackle to bring it to the ground?

That’s a Chad stat!

Thought he did pretty well considering where he's at in his career. Was always looking for work and I loved the Nikora style line he ran at one point. Almost got over for a try, too. I don't remember any errors and his defence seemed solid enough.

He didn't take any leaping catching or step the fullback or anything ridonkulous, but he showed good signs.
