Over 50 tackles on Friday, the man is a machine (albeit an old one)

How many



I though 34 was excellent in the Saints game....my word have we got the prices for MOS yet!

Just checked 51 to be exact



Is he the bionic man

Hope not, $6million might take us over the cap!!!!!

Made 85 tackles in two games and has only missed a single tackle
We may see him break Richard Swain's tally of 907 tackles in the 2004 season

The guy is simply awesome.Get him signed up for next season now.

To put that many tackles in against a big pack is an even better effort!!

Absolutely Stupid stats from Fridays game for the Gibbon:

51 tackles
0 Misses
9 Marker Tackles

21 Carries
131 Metres

Just to add to that. If you exclude the players who have had 3 games he is 2nd (11th overall) for tackles behind Dallas Johnson, 1st for carries (10th overall) and 6th for metres made (22nd overall). Crazy for a man of 33 years of age.

What tends to happen is players who do a lot of defending do little on the attacking front (anyone who has played will know how tiring defending can be at times) but to make that many tackles and still carry the ball in 21 times is phenomenal even more so for an old age pensioner has been

He's over the hill dont you know.

When you consider the amount of work he put in and the fact he played the full 80 minutes I was amazed to see him still putting his hand up for the ball at the end of the game to try and make the hard yards away from our try line. He is a machine.

Ogre put a good stint in too. I'm not sure how many metres he made last week although I know it was well below 100. He has now made 227 in two games. I would hazzard a guess at about 140 metres made against Hudds.

I also remember someone saying his metres per carry was little over 6 last week. It's now up to 8.1 overall. Good stuff.

Ogre is just going to get better and better as he reaches full match fitness.

Ogre was looking better on Friday, ran in well when on the pitch. Had a long lay off with injury so will take time and like BB says he will only gte better and better.

No need to worry about O'Meley unperforming, once his fitness gets better he'll be a force once again. I'm not concerned!

He's already a force, cant wait to see him when he's fit.

Crazy stats, crazy guy!

Awesome for someone who's over the hill and just collecting a pension

We got any prices on MOS yet?

Coupled with 23 carries as well.

What a man

How very dare you ....that should read ....What an Old Man

The bookies are running scared!! They daren't put any odds up.

I'm sure someone said that they got 50/1 on Fitzgibbon MOS.
