I agree he has been killing it (19 runs 185 metres today 32 tackles one miss), but think prop is his spot. He plays his best football in the middle. I think he looks lost whenever he played on the edge.
His sleight of hand is something you can't coach and not many footballers have it. He can be one of the games top players if we can keep him focused.
Well done Josh on a great response to the haters
I agree. I'm not thrilled with the teams performance but this team has glaring issues that are a product of Des and Co recruitment. Compare our middle forwards and hooker stocks to the tigers it is little wonder we are struggling.
Croker is a great competitor and good defender. However, his slow service and lack of running game really stood out today against Brailey who ran at the right times and had his forwards running onto the ball.
Time to cut the Mr Niceguy act and drop some of the underperforming/low ability players in Woods, Johns, Croker, Parker and Tuilagi. If they aren't playing up to first grade standard, it's time to give them a kick in the arse.
Fifita has surprisingly been poor for the dragons over the past 3 weeks, barely cracking 50 m this week. Alec has been the better of the two. If he got a chance in first grade he may provide more impact, but not setting the world alight.
Apparently a large number of manly players were affected by flu/cold through the week. I may be clutching at straws for hope, but this may have been a contributing factor to the awful team performance.
