The main thing that's impressed me about Blicavs is the fact he's calm under pressure, wasn't expecting him to be so composed considering how little confidence he must have had at the start (returning to the sport and all). I expected him to be more mobile though, he doesn't exactly fly around the ground.
Can see why. Reckon they could mold him into a pretty fucking good KPD tbh. He's not agile, but very few KPF/KPDs are - but he's quick. He's really really quick. Closing speed is excellent, I reckon he'd stop most forwards on a lead + his contest work can only improve. Once he gets a better footy IQ I reckon that's where he could end up.
It's the closing speed that's so gun for him. He's a monster sizewise so he'll develop the physical presence naturally but normally with that size they struggle out on the lead. Over 5-10 metres he's no difference but over 20-30 I reckon he'd be able to track down any KPF bar franklin. If they roam up the ground he wouldn't be shaken either. Runs 3 ks like 3 minutes quicker than anyone else ffs wafg.
I wouldn't call it elite speed haha. Like Skip said, his 5-10m speed isn't fantastic. I expected more of him there, but I suppose he was a long distance runner.
SC side !!!!! yea, kicked the first goal iirc , was pretty much right behind it and the 2nd as skip said 50+ and nailed it
He looked really nice. I don't think he's surpassed West *yet* although I think he'll keep his spot if Vardy is 1R. If it's Hmac then West should keep his spot.
Nuh disagree. West/Vardy are the ruck/fwds whereas blitz and hmac are the straight rucks for now so it'd be one from each group IMO.
I think they're pretty confident playing Blitz anywhere imo, especially as West rucks most of the time as is.
