P S .............. Alex Mirkov , nice effort . Looked very comfortable out there . Got his share of tapouts . His pushing and shoving in the ruck contests was pretty damn good . Reckon he actually could eventually become a weapon with that big height advantage .........
Yes , i know , i shitcanned the bejesus out of this bloke when he first arrived . He was woeful and i thought the hierarchy had lost there minds . And he was woeful . I watched quite a lot of him in the magoo's and he didn't improve one iota . Painful to watch he was . And then , something just clicked . Like overnight . Towards the end of last season all of a sudden it came together . His tapwork , palming , positioning just came together all of a sudden . Just goes to show Mick , leave it to the experts . From what i hear the bloke who has been a big wrap for him and has also done a lot of development work is none other than " The Diesel " . Kudos to you Diesel coz the improvement in Mirkov is miraculous .
Love to know what you guru's think about Mirkov's game . A lot of my mates reckon he was great and others reckon he was shite so , i dunno , come on guru's , tell me what the go is with this bloke . Will he make it ?
He was'nt shite.
He wasnt impressive.
He held his ground against average 'light weight' rucks.
He competed and nullified which is all I asked.
When he won a few taps, I too said there's hope for this guy ...and there really is.
I didnt know Diesel had anything to do with him. Thanks Mr Williams.
