Post: # 2052252Post Sainter_Dad »

David Zita just reported that RTB has advised that King has been cleared of ligament damage

Great news, never want to see anyone get injured.

Should kick a bag of goals next week for Sandy.

Ross’ answer wasn’t very convincing. Why give anything away?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he misses a few weeks. Hopefully he doesn’t but don’t like all 4 talls in the same team.

No argument he's "our" best forward.

Problem is we are in an 18 team comp and when you compare him to the competitions best forwards where does he sit. Point being the measuring stick one uses when rating your own players is important.

Max would sit very comfortably in the best forwards in the competition.
He needs to lead more, but elite marking and work of the deck put him right up there.
Still improving.

He needs a reset

His brother is playing far better - in a better system

I think he needs out of the goal square

Play Caminiti deep and get Max out and moving around what used to called CHF. Gives the forward line a more dangerous looks. Multiple routes to goal.

It’s amazing how often clubs become over reliant on one man as the main target. Makes you predictable and easy to counter. It needs constant vigilance.

I agree
Think it takes pressure off King too - we need to get to a stage where his success in a game is t about kicking 5
He’s a super smart user of the ball - have seen him up on a wing set us up with a big mark and quick handball or kick that gets us moving into F50
Let him then drift into 50 ….he’ll be a nightmare
No, he’s not Jeremy Cameron but he ain’t a hulking stay at home monster like Hawkins either

Any reports on Caminiti's shoulder injury ?


Will the Saints ever be classed as a good club ?

Played the game out and didn't look encumbered. Don't think there'll be much in it.
