Interview with Jock Madden ahead of next week’s first trial.

Do you see a place for Jock in the NRL side this year?

https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2022/02/09/madden-we-can-feel-the-games-coming/

Madden lacks that yard of pace you need as a half in the current game 

So does Hastings and AD

Brooks is pretty pacey and we know how that’s turned out. Quick between the ears is my preference.

Not saying Jock is either as a I haven’t seen enough of him.

Agree ...but you then need to be able to get through the hole you created or even put fear into the opposition defence that you can 

 

AD has that step and size close to the line that makes him dangerous 

 

The best example I use is the Langer boys ...if you ask me who the better footballer was I reckon Kevin was more creative and tougher than Allan ...but Alf had that bit of speed over the 1st 5 yards .....and most people have never heard of Kevin Langer ....

Showing your age mate… who’s Kevin Langer?? 😅

You make a good point btw.

Not showing his age, showing his background. Kevin Langer is Allan Langer's brother, played in QLD and I think went to England to play as well.

In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)

Cheers Garry! 

Being a cockroach I grew up despising Langer & Lewis & Miles & Shearer & the Walters boys & Renouf & Gilmeister & & & 

Just didn't know Alfie had a brother named Kev

I haven't seen anything from him that suggests he's nrl calibre.

Yep. I've seen him play a couple of times in the lower grades and he performed pretty similarly to how he performed in first grade. He wasn't killing it in reserves.

He won player of the year for a team that was towards the top of the table and was leading point scorer in the entire comp.

I know. I haven't seen him play heaps of times. Maybe he was having off games.

I think he has some positives but is probably at that level of being too good for reserves but not quite good enough for 1st grade.

Madden and Miller might be an appropriate comparison.

Kevin actually trialled at Wests at some stage ...I think after he got out of prison from memory

He was at Brisbane Wests when I was there ...one of the reasons I ended up there along with my family connection with Barry Muir

So do I, he is from my neck of the woods so would love for him to kick on.
