LIONS BOAST A LOT OF THE ANSWERTH TO THEIR PUZZLE
BRISBANE’S next household name Noah Answerth is cementing his place in the senior side after gruelling groin problems kept him out for 12 months.
The utility defender impressed in Friday’s match simulation against Adelaide, showing off his determination and grunt off half-back.
Answerth pushed up to the wing in the second term where he impressed, kicking two goals on the run before reverting to his backline spot for the final quarter. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been out there, and I’ve grown up a fair bit since I first got injured. inju The last time I got to play for four po points was in 2020 in Round R 17 against Sydney, so it’s been a while.” Answerth told lions.com.au. li
The 22-year-old had surgery surg on both groins and ap appendix in the same week earlier last year, causing him to be bed-ridden for 16 days. Coach Chris Fagan’s constant reassurance that Answerth was a crucial member of his club’s best 22 was monumental for the young Lion’s development.
