Still looks like he has some mass to put on his frame and he's already 108kg...
 
I predict the young enforcer will RATtle the old mongrel's cage tomorrow night.
 
Still don’t get why he keeps getting compared to Webcke. Maybe off the field I can understand the tag but that’s where the similarities end for me. Webcke doesn’t even come close to having the physique, footwork and pace off the mark that Flegler showed tonight. Don’t think I ever recalled Webcke making close to 200 metres in a game either. Completely different player

It’s the intensity that’s similar. What a headturning performance for just his second game.

He reminds me of webcke as well. Let’s hope he turns out half as good
 
Of course, OF COURSE I dropped Flegler from my SC reserves this week. At least I stuck with TPJ.

It's his training and playing style, they would both go so hard and then walk, have a deep breath and go again. Flegler and Webcke both needed to not just follow the ball around like a Under 10.
 
There is few middle forwards that they (Nolan) seems excited about; Flegler from the Pride had a disrupted season. Then you add in Fifita, Haas, Carrigan and Fai.

Flegler and Fifita were both in the QAS under 18 camp with Richards this year with Carrigan in the 20's.

It's not all the doom being predicted by some.

I posted this in 2017- Good job Pete.

Still had Fai hope two years ago that's a bit of a miss.
 
We cop it for losing jrs, but what about the cows? Off the top of my head: Lost Ponga in favour of Coote, lost Martin, lost Flegler, lost Holmes.

Ponga was our junior, we lost to them.

To be fair I don't think Fai missing was a recruitment issue, he definitely has the frame and talent for it, just clearly lacks the work ethic. A bit of a modern day Molo (Who funnily enough has turned it around a bit and hasn't been too bad for the Cows)

Physically he reminds me of Brad Thorne for some reason. He is probably more agressive than Thorne too. A very exciting prospect indeed.

He’s tall at 1.9 and not as square-solid as Webcke. I see what you mean re Thorn
