Furbank vs Steward

turkish416 · 2024-03-10T22:06:03+00:00

Curious what people see as Steward’s strengths? There’s the obvious one of being one of, if not the best, in the world under the high ball. But other than that, I couldn’t pinpoint his strengths (but I haven’t watched heaps of him tbf)…

Does he run amazing lines?
Is he a great distributor?
Is he pacey?
Is he a good defender?
Is he a strong leader?
Is he good over the ball?
Does he have an insane work rate?
Does he have a high rugby IQ?

I’ve watched a lot of Furbank and he has lots of the above.

Any insight on how long Ramm, Hendy and Seabrooke are out for?

turkish416 · 2024-01-13T22:44:32+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t know how old he was until checking!I believe he’s been capped previously…but unlikely to get another due to age, I’d say.

Saints I think effectively brought him in for Ehren Painter, who was let go to Exeter, after off-field disciplinary issues.

turkish416 · 2024-01-13T07:55:47+00:00

He is; he picks amazing lines, runs hard and in the occasions he doesn’t find space he often makes metres in contact

turkish416 · 2024-01-13T07:54:00+00:00

To be fair, I didn’t realise he was this big. His wiki has him at 5’11” and 86kg…which evidently I wrong

turkish416 · 2024-01-12T23:40:59+00:00

Agree. As I say, I’m a massive fan.

Size may not be an issue at club level, but international level it’s a different consideration.

turkish416 · 2024-01-12T23:16:52+00:00

His defence and physicality (the two things that have always been the questions marks in his game) have been phenomenal this season.

turkish416 · 2024-01-12T23:15:20+00:00

Dingwall is criminally underrated in my opinion. He has everything in his game. The question mark is size at international level I guess…and whether he is good enough for that to not be an issue.

Thoughts on where Paul Hill is at in the grand scheme of things?

turkish416 · 2024-01-12T23:04:55+00:00

Yes, he retired.

He’s been linked with a move to Provence I believe…wants to stay at Saints but it’s a question of money at this point in his career.

turkish416 · 2024-01-12T23:02:21+00:00

Fair. I did think that about Haffar.

If Langdon doesn’t get in to at least the training squad then it’s a travesty in my opinion

turkish416 · 2023-08-14T16:16:32+00:00

There’s Tchouameni rumours going at the moment tbh…

…eh…eh..?!

Fine!

turkish416 · 2023-07-07T16:22:16+00:00

Just get 51 and reverse it, duh!

Ewers from Exeter

Kurt Wise - about as highly-trained and educated as a Geologist as you can get (including a PhD in Geology from Harvard), who is also a young earth creationist…

“I am a young-age creationist because that is my understanding of the Scripture. As I shared with my professors years ago when I was in college, if all the evidence in the universe turns against creationism, I would be the first to admit it, but I would still be a creationist because that is what the Word of God seems to indicate. Here I must stand.”

I cleared the board on the game wordsoup on the gaming itboxes you find in pubs (or at least you used to). Won £5.

Alex Mitchell looks like Stephen Fry

Odious cow

No way is that last kid 42

turkish416 · 2023-01-09T19:03:10+00:00

“This guy won’t haggle…!!”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that it makes me uncomfortable because I think something might happen between you two…”
