Yep those of you that got stuck into me last year have managed to sway me.

He’s the next big thing at the Roosters!

[FREEMAN89]

I'm a fan....

And if he keeps playing the way he has been of recent...

Pretty soon I'll be an Air Conditioner.

Has improved his ball security. Fark he looked gassed at the end of his stint though

He is coming along nicely...

I noticed the defensive work he does around the ruck has improved and this plus it's round 1 would lend itself to the big man's fatigue...

He played significantly more minutes (45) than previous seasons. A sign Robbo is ready to unleash this season. Still building the motor

Yes I was going to mention that. It was a good test for him last night.

Compared to a few of our lads lately, he's got hands like Bert Kenny.

[Johnny Tobin]

He did really well.

[stringaz]

Love me some Collins

[Rooster1908]

He's developing very well , more minutes means better fitness so he will only get better

[Team Evil]

He had to do more minutes than Robbo wanted because of injuries. He was solid last night.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Great to see him going well, very whole hearted player, I really hope he does well in future games.

Good to see the big guy get more minutes last night. 40 mins straight is a much bigger test than he’s had in the past. His runs were solid last night, finds his front pretty consistently and works hard after contact every time. His movement from marker was reliable all night even late in a very long stint for a bench front rower. He’d just be disappointed in himself dropping the bat back off the drop out in the final 5 mins. Could’ve had another opportunity to steal the game if not for that along with some poor handling and sloppy ruck defence. Our kicking put us under way too much pressure in the second half. Big difference from last year’s end of sets. Keary has be better than what he dished up in that regard last night. A terrible low bomb caught in goal for a 7 tackle set was the turning point unfortunately. I’m sure the coaching staff will be straight onto that because gifting Turbo easy defusals and field position will see the same outcome next week. Some good signs still. Plenty of push around the ball and some periods of very strong enthusiastic defence which is great to see so early. A better start than 2018 and 2019 for the most part.

The pressure the riff put on our kicks didnt help our game. A bit more protection is required around keary

Clearly no detection of the sarcasm in my post.

He was god damn awful in defence in that last 20 minutes. Check the replay if you don't believe me.
