They have signed him. Should make a solid reserve grader
This has got to bring Stockon's odds into $1.40. Especially after almost single handedly getting Suburbs to where they got to last year.
Clearly didn't watch many suburbs games as they had class all across the park. Also a big call to say that one bloke makes a team. Didn't make much difference him not playing yesterday?
Yeah subburbs is a good squad with a good balance, but going from 0 points from the first handful of games without him, to not losing a game until I think the semis with him says something. The amount of Freakish solo goals he scores is the X factor in any side.
Pulled with him 3 other quality players last year to suburbs and strengthened them right across the park. All have since left. Agree he is an awesome player but is coming to play with mates. We won yesterday against quality opposition without him. No reason why we can't be strong with our without one player
Morisset vs warners bay
3rds 0-3
Ressies 2-0
1sts 3-2
Agree , Lez is a great individual addition to any struggling team that are happy to pass Lez the ball and watch, losing lez at the terrace last year was a bit of a blow but def played more enjoyable football as a team. Big question is.... Is he harder to play with or against. Even bigger question..... Will a team full of egos have room for one more. Only time will tell
If people are saying Stockon already had solid foundations then yes this would put a zone league one sides odds way up if he was going to play a lot.
There are good players scattered among all zone leagues for work reasons etc cant commit higher. But his pace is often unmatched by zone league defenders and simple through ball to Lez all day will win you matches as his finishing is great to. I know because my mate had to coach against him a couple of years back. It was a nightmare!
Yeah to be honest who cares about one player!! We should all be talking about how marvellous the first weekend of football was and that pre-season is finally over...
Haha numpties.. love it
After last w/e Cookers and stocko are the ones to beat
Round 2 fearless predictions:
Jesmond v Bero - Draw
Morisset to beat Charlie
Tigers to beat Nelson Bay
Cookers to put a cricket score on Westlakes
And Warners Bay to beat Stocko by 8, maybe 9
Stockton 35 warners bay 0
Lez 35 - Warners Bay 0
Be more realistic lez 34 allow for the own goal
Loving this hype up for Lumberjack.
Warners Bay played against him last year so I'm sure they will be able to figure out a way to keep the score respectable.
Anyone would think it was Griff playing with the amount of man-love you guys have for this bloke?
Lez is better than griff.
lets not say things we can't take back pal
I'm loving the focus on Lez. Clearly the boys in this comp haven't seen my goal scoring abilities...
Also he's playing reserve grade tomorrow
Round 2
Jesmond vs Bero
Stockton vs Warners Bay
Cooks Hill vs Westlakes
Kotara vs Nelson Bay
Morisset vs Charlestown
In other recruiting news, I heard today that Charlestown got 3-4 of Jesmonds first graders from last year. Can anyone confirm this?? Have Jesmond filled the void or will they struggle this year.
Lost 4 to Charlestown from last years grand final side including captain. Picked up 2 quality first graders as well as getting their striker back from long term injury and central defender who thought he was a third grade striker. I think recent results including FFA cup wins over Toronto and Mayfield show they will be competitive this year. I believe they have also strengthened the lower grades as well.
Me thinks Zephyr might have some inside info......
Can anyone give us at Kotara an idea of what strip nelson bay are playing in this year?
Any results from today lads?
Stocko v Wbay
3rds 0 - 4
