I read another post that he has been training twice a week since the bye round. No coincidence he is getting around the ground better & his form as it is.

They're currently working on it. Sports scientists from Europe and the US have been called in.

Just watch Christian pull the "potential to cause injury" clause out of his a**e...!
Then that Shocking efwit will hit the airwaves ...... "We need to call it out when we see acts like these"!

98% time on ground very encouraging. Highest this year easily I would have thought. Ground work much better. Work in marking contests has been great all year.

Was colossal. Played like a big key forward of old. Had intent. Moved freely.

Leads the league in contested marks inside 50. Monster. And going at about 70%.

Has got a pretty good Jona Lomu routine.

can just keep running with 3 blokes hanging off him and get an effective handball off into a forward chaos down 3 defenders

He's building and the fact Jack came back with a few weeks to go is great news for us.
You could see them actively trying to work out who should fly for marks and who should stay down.
Can't wait for them to click.

Both could fly for marks as long as they work out which one is marking and which one is running interference against the spoil

The late mark & goal in the last qtr, Jack went to fly & then realized Tom was launching for it & he decided to stay down. Smart play.

When the ball was in defense, often it was Jack stationed on one wing and Tom on the other.

Great game on the weekend. Building beautifully.

Would love to see him dominate the finals.

I’m sitting here, thinking about September, whilst rubbing my hands together like Mr Burns.
Excellent Smithers. Excellent

I reckon that shows how much his confidence has come on. Early days he was a bit more timid, probably didn’t trust his own body (knee) but now he’s like a steam roller.

We’ve basically replaced Townsend with Lynch from our Premiership forward line. That’s about as big an upgrade as you can get.

Before yesterday, when was the last time we saw a kick towards our forward line marked in a pack by a tall, towering forward 70 metres out, who then wheeled around and kicked it 40 metres to another tall, towering forward who also took a strong mark in another pack?

Footy porn.

Just watched the game for the first time. Lynch was ridiculously good. Had the most contested possessions with 13 and when he wasn't marking he was getting the ball to ground and sharing the ball around at will. 3 goals, a goal assist,11 score involvements (the most). Incredible if this is what we're going to have to endure as his fitness peaks.
