Official Toby Rudolf

[MrDravid]

that is his second for the season, no idea how he doesnt have a case to answer

I noticed the penalty was fine for early guilty plea and 2 weeks if found guilty... if he does it again, he's going to be gone for more then one week.

3-5 depending on grading.
6 if it is grade 3 and unsuccessfully contested

Whether you have done it before has no bearing on the charge. It only effects the penalty.

 

[Gards]

busted his guts tonight, turning into a fairly reliable starter and longer minute middle for us . some really good carries tonight. all round an improved player

 

[Thresher]

Has become a solid dependable player.

Not as explosive as I hoped he would become but I'm really glad we have him.

Always puts in a huge effort without a lot of errors.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Jesus his first stint was good. Beast.

Yeah. That kick though…

Hence why it's not bad to take the tackle on the last sometimes, especially when a prop has the ball!

100%.
I was yelling that at the screen a few times last night…..

 

[Thresher]

At keast it wasn't an attempted hero play like you get sometimes, where the forward has the option to get the ball to someone else or even when it's not the final tackle.

I think it was more that he was about to get stuck with the ball on the last and he genuinely thought it was the best option.

The only loss was giving a 7 tackle set and our specialist half gave one of those too.

100%.

I was screaming at the screen too. Take the tackle make them run 95 meters instead of giving them a 7-tackle set!

 

[Sparkles]

It's such a huge difference... They start 5 out or around the 30. It's the difference of 3/4 tackles in their set. I can totally understand why we do it.

 

[Thresher]

At the same time, Talakai doesn't look the type capable of a deft kick but has shown that he's quite adept.

For all we know Fitz could have them all doing it at training.

True.

Hopefully Chad has got his Captain run/training session in by now and can confirm if the props practice their short kicking game.

Rudolf must have had covid that week

Had the old leg spring wound up a bit too tight

yea I thought it was the right option, even from a prop, just over cooked it a bit. even halves do that and Rudolf wasn't expecting it

In fact Hynes did it this very game!

 

[HaroldBishop]

Yep was a terrible kick

 

[Gards]

Impressive for a prop to get most run metres which usually goes to an outside back most weeks
Got the most Post Contact metres for us as well

Toby really working hard this year and is playing consistently well even if he ain't making many highlight reels he is getting himself over the advantage line and on balance I think his defense is better than it used to be - probabaly ties in with his improved fitness, there are less lazy efforts or times when he gets really caught out
