Why does Ross not play him as a Mid?
Its Luke Ball all over again, both played the same sort of game.
When Lenny went down he stepped up bravely and was amazing.
In a handful of games he was our best mid hands down.
So why doesnt he get played in there?

Unless he has signed up for next year already (not sure?), I would say done deal to GC and hence why not playing in the middle.

GWS really going to give him a contract based on a few handy games?

He'd struggle up there as much as he does down here.

I agree. As if we arent putting him in the middle because he might be leaving. If they are going for his type then it is going to be a long 10 years. He is out of the middle because Jack does it better, actually much better.

No co-incidence our forward tackling has improved since he moved forward.

Should have been subbed in the third qtr.
He hasn't signed with anyone either for all the rumour mungeres,

Love Armo and how he has developed this year, but I have a bad feeling he'll find himself down at Sandy this week or next...

Steven does do the clearence and spread work better, but Armo deserves more gametime in the middle IMO... The 2 of them compliment each other well...

He has been first cab down the rank the last few seasons, and is trending this way again IMO...

Can see Mini as an in for that role he did so well in '09...

BigMart · Post: # 1098927Post **BigMart** » Sun 03 Jul 2011 9:36pm

We got smashed in centre clearances......

He is the new 'eddy'

Clearances were 36-31, hardly "smashed"

Id love to see the starting midfield group as Steven, Armo and Dal/Jones

saintsRrising · Sun 03 Jul 2011 10:09pm

Err...

Since Steven swapped with Armo we have been a better team...and Steven has really taken off. Armo has been good to fair..though today was a bit queit.

But lets look at the main positive...Steven is playing very good football.
Steven > Armo

But hey let's appease the masses and swap back and start losing again.

You protest too much me thinks.

ausfatcat · Sun 03 Jul 2011 10:31pm

wouldn't be surprised if armo is given a break next week as a sub or vfl

Where do you reckon he's at DWOODROW? Where's his head at?

If it was a "done deal" with GC he wouldn't be playing at all.

Dave has Minis spot and he is probably still holding the spot for now. He is looking tired as the season progresses but love the way he attacks horizontally, NRL style. The defensive forward role is a shitty unglamorous role but Armo at least seems to chase hard and tackle harder than Mac qualter was early this season.

Because he's been reading Saintsational and thought he is as good as Lenny and should have played 150 games by now.

Lucky no-one at Sandy (maybe with the exception of McQ), is putting their hand up for a senior game, as I think Armo is a little off the boil and gets caught a bit too easy, though tackling is good. If he stays on our list, I reckon a summer of running, especially sprinting would be the go for him, as he just doesn't look fit enough for a midfielder

saintsRrising · Sun 03 Jul 2011 10:58pm

Armo in his new roe is going ok.

Steven in his new role is excelling.

We are in front.

We have other underperformers to worry about rather than these two.

defacto · Post: # 1099076Post **defacto** » Sun 03 Jul 2011 11:06pm

maybe armo had a bit of fatigue from earlier on in the year. a rest up fwd aint a bad thing.

Smashed? Hardly alright. Lost 31-36 total clearances, but we only lost 9-10 in centre clearances. We actually lost 12-19 in throw-in clearances. Yet won 10-7 ball-up clearances.

Actually won stoppage first possessions 40-31 (13-7 at the centre bounce). We could get our hands on the ball at stoppages, just failed to get that final clearing disposal.
