X Richards vs Grundy

[Captain]

Is this thread for real??

Grundy is a bloody solid and good key position defender. I actually think he is beating his opponent more then Ted at the moment anyway.

Reg had a pretty solid game today on a tricky forward line. Whilst he's never going to thrill is with his silly skills, he's a very good gorilla minder (as someone else put it). He is playing in the last line of defense where there is a lot of pressure and where errors can be magnified, and he's doing we'll.

X getting named on an extended bench is more a function of needing a tall as emergency cover and reflective of a not-too-pretty injury list. Plus a slap on the back for a young-un doing well so far.

No direct link to Reg and any perceived form issues. None.

Disagree. It's his silly skills that have me on the edge of my seat.

Wondering whether our team in 2014 may feature S.Reid at CHB?

Given that there are no monster CHF (they are mostly at FF) and CHF tend to be more mobile types. Reid has very good pace, a huge reach and is very competitive, like his brother I reckon he could become an ace CHB.

Gives us the opportunity to create an exciting forward line with Rohan and a beefed up BJack and maybe dead eye Membrey in there too?

Agreed. Particluarly if White's improvement continues. Reid could also drift forward to kick goals on occasion as Ben Reid has done in recent weeks.

I'll try to liven it up a bit.

Some of the Rules of the Game, Penalties and terminology should be modified when applied to Reg:

1. HTB Rule: Holding the ball when applied to Reg shall means anytime he takes possession and doesn?t drop the ball. This should never be a penalty. The Vatican should rather issue a proclamation deeming it a miracle.
2. Anytime Reg tries to kick the ball it should be called kicking in danger, for the Swans.
3. A 50 metre bonus should be granted anytime the Swans retain possession after a Grundy disposal.
4. Reg should be given a free kick for rough contact anytime he falls over and an opposition player is within 5 metres of him.
5. A player trying to ?dummy?, deke, or make any move to run around Reg shall be deemed ?Intention Rough Contact? and subject to 425 point and a 4-game suspension.
6. The Swans shall retain possession of the ball when Reg kicks the ball out of bounds on the full. This will also earn Reg 8 Supercoach points.

Very funny (but a bit harsh).

Touch has been a bit off but I'll back him to be steady cometh the moment.

That rule would get him in more backlines than Goddard, Gibbs and Heppell combined...
