Congrats Raph.. Top 50th !!

Post: # 786657Post Eastern »

Congrats to Raph Clarke for a fantastic game in his 50th for the club. Tonights game was possibly his best for the year and a very good sign leading into the finals.

The part of his game that really stood out for me tonight was how good a "Long Kick" he is. Decision making and confidence appear to be on the up too !!

Got him in for 2 votes.

Thought he was really solid when he was needed.

One of his better games, and that tackle in the dying 20 seconds was just what was needed...

Put his body on the line a few times tonight. Really impressed with him. One of the few tonight who stood out and put their head over the ball. Well done Raph!!!!

Good on you Raph!!!!


Just needed a reasonable run of general luck in life and a chance to show us what you've got and you're doing it now.

Fantastic!!

Nice game.

Deserves to be in our top 22

Played a very good game in Gilberts absence.

I'm liking this thread. So far not a negative comment for Raph. I'm happy to be able to add my thoughts that Raph played a good game tonight. Good job in your 50th, Raph. Keep 'em coming.
