Titans unconcerned by Idris's weight

[The Brizz]

He was pretty effective again tonight, much like Inglis and Taylor he has issues with maintaining an "ideal" playing weight but unlike Inglis especially he doesn't have that level of athleticism to compensate being a bit over what he should be. I really see his career becoming as a backrower doing stints on the field because of he isn't fast enough to play as a centre and he reads defence poorly there aswell as being very slow to turn and chase. Whereas in the backrow he came come on and run hard at the little guys and you can hide his reading by having him defend pretty centrally because 1 on 1 he isn't bad. As a backrower he has good pace and a good offload and seems like the type of player who relishes big contact so I really see him excelling down the track in that role.

I thought he was bad tonight.. touched the ball about 3 times and dropped it one of them.

 

[Big Pete]

Yep he was quiet tonight aside from a good jamming tackle on Tate.

Made Tate look foolish.

 

[Broncoman]

Played well tonight.

 

[Kaz]

He is a machine. NOT

6 runs for 41m, 5 tackles, 1 missed tackle and 2 errors.

When you are in the centres you are often restricted especially if your halves constantly attack the other side of the field like they did last night. It is like how often people called Inglis lazy as a centre when really many times his side of the field was quiet.

Sorry, but if you're that big and strong, you don't wait for the ball.

Yes you do. Obviously you don't understand being selected in a position means that's where you play unless instructed otherwise

 

[Ari Gold]

Um ok. So if Idris goes and finds the ball and makes an extra 5-6 runs and takes the pressure off his forwards, Cartwright is going to pull him into line or something? Rightio.

Yes. Because if he goes to find the ball, he's going to exhaust himself and get caught out in defence.

 

[Bucking Beads]

If the Titans had a clue they would direct their attack down the side Idris plays.

This thread has been a very informative "What Coxy thinks" source thus far.

Titans clearly not interested in players' skinfolds ... Idris looks 20% bf

20%? Try 30+!
