Jarrod Wallace

[Big Pete]

Is he a quiet-achiever or simply a passenger?

What do you guys make of his form across the 11 rounds? Has he done enough to retain his place and what would you like to see from him on Monday?

 

[Unbreakable]

He's ok I guess, he was impressive the first few weeks and then kinda hasn't really done anything good since. He's certainly not putting any pressure on our starting line-up at the moment, and that's saying something considering Blair's form.

 

[rogerwilco]

He has been playing injured. Nothing too serious but it will be affecting his game. It's something he just has to play through until it's better.

 

[Splinter]

Concerned about him starting. He was slightly off the pace in his last start

 

[Morkel]

Undecided. Again I always defer to someone like McGuire, who right from the start looked like a first grader. Like he belonged there, and what he was missing in polish was made up with aggression and enthusiasm. Wallace never looked like that, and besides a few decent games, has really never. He's the sort that could have a bad game and drift off in to obscurity, and I wouldn't give him a second thought except in a few years time, like "oh, remember that Isaac Ah Mau guy? His brother's doing okay now...".

But, he's not the only player to come across this way. None of the newer guys have looked any better, any more convincing as a future club stalwart. But you'd have to think that one of them will step up. Maybe they all will? This might be the weekend for it. And it's been admitted that they're being developed slowly and carefully, so it's probably no surprise that they haven't had us falling out of the stands in admiration. So I'll defer judgement, and most certainly wish him all the best.

 

[Stix]

He's a big boy, was on the sideline last week watching them warm up and i think he's put some muscle on since last season. He's built like tank.

 

[Wolfie]

He has improved massively since last season. He has been a decent option from the bench.

 

[Alec]

He's decent, but not a long term option

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Wallace reminds me of what Garbutt would be without all the injury troubles, which makes Garbutts axing all the more interesting. Wouldn't be surprised to see Wallace go when the team as a whole is in better nick.

 

[Super Freak]

Quiet achiever. He has been going well this year except for a couple of games there. He has improved this year and has been providing more impact off the bench than last year.

I think that's all he will ever be. Just a decent prop. He won't ever be anything like Fifita, Burgess, Scott, Kasiano, Graham, JWH etc.. Commentators won't jizz their pants over him and fans won't talk him up like he is a god. He won't ever be in the spotlight. He'll just be one of those decent props that does his job and is cheap. Good to keep around as a depth option. I hope the Broncos hold onto him.

Another Hannant. No one will be worried about running at him

 

[bingale16]

Fringe first grader. Nothing special, wont ever by a big minute player. Just doesnt have the skills and speed as some other props out there. Hope we sign Offa long term
Next year we will lose Green/Lowrie/Stagg. Resign Gillett and a buy a big name prop and we will be hard to beat

Props (other than McGuire and Lawrence) are not known for their speed but when Evans made a break in the Roosters game, Wallace was embarrassingly slow. It looked like he was putting in big efforts and was getting very little speed up at all. He looked like he was running in quicksand. That concerns me in terms of his ability to cover defend or move laterally.
