:D

OK, there's a thread for Drew / JD / Grix and Stosic, but the stats seem to suggest that the game would have been very different had it not been for our little Sam.

He is a tremendous workhorse - and yet, in that little frame, he has no right ot be. If there is a player in SL who is stronger / tougher and has a bigger engine that Sam, then I don't know who that is.

AS JK said, it was Sam who followed up Martin's kick; it was also Sam who kicked through for our second try and, his incredible 41 tackles (most of 'em on Paleasina), are all something we very much take for granted these days.

And to think we nearly didn't manage to keep him!!!?? :shock:

Good on yer Sam! :D :wink:

He is a very good player, never let us down.

couldn't agree more. my sister lives in brisbane and her boyfriend is into league and when we were chatting about wakey and going through our squad he recognised obst. he didn't believe me when i said he was a tackling machine and so i sent him the super league stats link comparing him to stosic, the next best tackler :D

"Quote" But perhaps most impressive is another bumper Wildcats home crowd – 9,237 for a Saturday TV game in the cold and wet is a fine effort from one of Super League’s most progressive clubs "Gareth Walker the Mirror"

Pound for pound he is by far our best tackler.

Didn't flinch once when palleasena was running at him.

Great engine and a great player.

Sign him on a long term contract now!!!

Simple really,

Players like Drew and Brough win you games.

Players like Obst and Blaymire stop you losing them.
