Kurt De Luis

[Woodsie]

Played strong .. done good .

 

[stoodamire]

He’s like our 2021 version of Vic Mauro.

Absolute plodder, but very dependable.

Did he get iinjured last night?

For a 6th string prop he's done really well. He has his limitations, but I just love that he doesn't make mistakes

 

[sheridanstand78]

One of the unsung squad players who came in and did a great job. I hope Des gives him more game time before the finals as he and the other fringe players are a vital part of the effort that it will take to win this comp.

Fox said they took him off early due to a calf strain (and put walker on) but that he would be right for a second stint.

Check out deluxe, around the 9min 10sec min mark 4 tackles in a row...

I think he is showing a lot more than people give him credit for. I said in another post that he is in my top 17 purely for his defence. Even so, if you watch his running compared to his first two or three weeks, you'll see that has come along in leaps and bounds also.

His work with Jake and Croker in the middle will prove invaluable against the top sides. I hope he keeps his spot.

Masterstroke by Des to bring him in from Blacktown, outside our top 30, and play as well as he has. Should be rewarded with a Manly contract for 2022. Keep it up Kurt!

I sat behind KDL for the Raiders game.
The guy was so pumped during the game, revving up the guys on the field. He really gets into it.
Hope he gets a contract.

I don't really think he has to talent to 'command overs' because he wouldn't get them from anywhere...but take your point. He has a good attitude and the best thing about his contributions this season are a lack of errors. Usually, when you bring in a guy that is strictly a depth forward, they not only bring a lack of impact, they bring errors in both attack and defence. De Luis can be relied upon to make his tackles, take his hit ups and work really hard; all we need from a depth player.

Which is an upgrade on Boyle

Dogs or tigers would offer ONE MILLION DOLLARS

maybe overs was the wrong description & I could have said inexpensive

I don't think dogs are that smart.

Mate, you make a good point. He has come in and held his own. Not the most talented footballer but obviously has a lot of heart and will power. I much prefer to see a guy like that come in and keep everything tight, than someone more talented but rocks and diamonds who can cost us in big games.

The best thing about KDL is I don’t really notice him. Guys like Boyle and Gosi stick out like a sore thumb because they miss tackles, get caught offside at marker, or drop the ball.

Kurt just does his job and contributes to the team. Not in our top 17 by any stretch of the imagination but a very affordable and valuable member of the squad moving forward.

Im a big fan of De Luis. He does his job very well. The money he is paid allows for other players with more flair, to be be paid much more (3 times?). You need such players to win a comp.
