Noah Balta - Welcome to Tigerland

[Tigers of Old]

A very important signing. Now on to Shai..

 

[taztiger4]

I just thought he looked Tasmanian, and it obviously wasn't Jack or Nank

oy you !!

Not sure there’s a player in the competition I’d trade him for. Maybe Logan McDonald or one of the Kings, but that’s it.

Great to lock this guy away. He’s going to be something very special.

he kind of already is.

I wouldn't trade Noah or $hai for 2 Kings and Logan McDonald

Key word there being ‘maybe’ Eazy E.

I wouldn’t. Look at what Noah already does. Plays like Rance MkII in the backline. Gives Nank a chop out in the ruck and with his big kicks he doesn’t have to drift that far to have ping at the big sticks.

Apparently the Doggies were very very keen

 

[year of the tiger]

21 years old, 34 games, 4 finals games, 1 premiership and life member of the rfc.

Not a bad start to his career - wait till be gets to 100 plus games

Looks like we’re stuck with him for a few more years.

 

[tigerman]

Apparently the Doggies were very very keen

I could believe that with the hacks they've got down back.

 

[UKTiger]

When you think he is still relatively inexperienced at AFL level, imagine his worth to us when he becomes more polished in the coming seasons.

Every club would have been very keen!

 

[ToraToraTora]

He can't do it alone. Very very important draft in 2021.

 

[momentai]

He can't do it alone. Very very important draft in 2021.

Or trade period?

 

[Tigers of Old]

You had to laugh when the commentators on the weekend kept talking about how young the Hawks forward line is..Noah plays well beyond his years!

 

[DuD_Delist]

I could believe that with the hacks they've got down back.

And I don't think the backline is his best position.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

And I don't think the backline is his best position.

Agree, DD
I like the experience and football IQ he is developing as a backman. It will serve him well into his footballing future.
That said, I reckon he's a player who has natural instinct and flair and if he's permitted some further freedom to play accordingly he could really put his stamp on games (not that hos record in so few games is anything to snort at).
In the end, I would really like to see how Balta goes if/when he is shifted to the forward line., where he could be a very seriously dangerous forward.
Has all the tools to be a gun player, no matter what position he plays.
Just thrilled that he wears the Yellow and Black with such pride and enthusiasm.

 

[TrialByVideo]

They just put Richo under the pump on 3aw.... "will Noah Balta end his career as a better player than Alex Rance?"......... in his opinion. ..... Yes

 

[tigerdell]

He even dresses like Clarke Kent when he’s not leaping tall buildings in a single bound

reckon he threw on the team singlet over a home hoody for the video
(or was told to)

 

[zgod]

Will be a kouta type. Could easily play wing.
