If Eggs gets the nod it’s grim for my boy Paddy Naish.
Its not looking great for him at the minute to be fair.

Still plenty of time and games to be played for him to lift his rating.

Dimma said in the interview re junior players he's more an accumulator which doesn't suit the Tigers current style.

I liked Egg's game against the Dees, and again tonight against the Filth, he looks to be a good long term replacement for Houli.
I thought Green showed a bit against the Dees last week too.
I'm conflicted, I'm happy for Mansell, but to me, Egg and Green would best suit our needs.

I thought his movement around the ground was far better than last year. His disposal is always slick.

Eggs been a *smile*. That has be devilled him. But coaches told him to use his noodle and has flipped his attitude.

Always said he has the skill set just needs to fine tune his awareness and defence side of his game and we got a player.

Looks bigger and stronger in the trunk and made some good decisions under pressure.
Reckon his first 2 steps need to be quicker as he sizes up options as soon as ball is in hands but his feet need to think quicker. This will give him much needed separation ( for those who like their Eggs runny )

I was surprised we gave him the sars, thought he’d shown enough to persist with, may simply have not been crossing his I’s and T’s , however I’d be more then happy if we gave him another chance, in saying that I’d be more then happy to see Josh Miller get an opportunity, question is what do we need more a silky skilled half back or a long term project monster midfielder?

So I’m not so crazy? :))
