David Astbury, Thank You

$2K fine for Dave it must've been viewed as a Petty Offence ................................................ I'm here all week !!

Anyone notice when the players were singing the song Astbury tell Baker to ‘sing the song’ as he was drinking instead. He looked actually quite serious. Really drives standards this bloke.

Rightly so...the song is sacred. Baker can't wait 30 seconds for a drink? He does drive standards DTLD, not afraid to have a crack at any player if they're stepping out of line. I'm sure he told Higlet to tell roving Brian to sod off after a game last year.

Geez page 9. Unsung hero. Been so solid and again tonight.

 

[spook]

He was awesome.

 

[UKTiger]

He was awesome.

Has been all season as both he and Grimes have stepped a gear to negate losing Rance.

Dave 'Mr Calm' Astbury

I just watched the game again and thought that Dave had yet another stellar performance on Friday night. He Grimes, Broad and Vlastuin are absolute colossus's in defence where we barely miss Rance

They have all grown.

Barely gets a mention , reliable as ever , rarely beaten !

 

[UKTiger]

Another who really stood up for the cause all season including today

Yep along with Broady.

Both have had big seasons.

Everyone knows Grimes and Tigga are guns, but Dave and Nath get overlooked.

Stood tall in 2019.

 

[Ghost of 29]

Was amazing this year whilst be relatively anonymous. Did his job.

 

[tigerdell]

Down the line Dave with a Hold The Line performance.
ripper match. The blanket

 

[Giardiasis]

Great game from Dave. Has anyone seen Finlayson? I think he is still missing...

 

[BT Tiger]

Solid as a rock all year.

 

[Willo]

Dave doesn't get too many accolades. But we know his worth. Great team man as well

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Grimes is the one who is talked about the most but Astbury has been just as important holding down the defence.

Always had the best opposition key position forward with no Rance around as backup.

Great year!

They’re a unit, Dave, Grimes, Flossy, Broad. Dave totally eclipsed his opponent yesterday.
