DCE looks tired and in need of a rest. Most other clubs have the luxury of being able to rest their stars after an origin game. I expect this to be another tough week for DCE with the likes of Crighton running at him all day. This feels like a bridge too far this week vs Chooks.
I expect...
I always thought Bully was a decent player not getting a lot of minutes. Often the first one dropped which never made a lot of sense given he has some fair weapons including speed. For mine it was the game against the Dragons when we went down to zero subs. Siebold had no choice but to leave...
DCE played behind a far inferior pack. The scoreline flattered QLD and credit where its due their relentless goal line defence/scrambling was amazing at times. However it told late in the game through fatigue. While not DCE's best game he was constantly targeted in defence. Johns even said...
While I think we dropped the ball on Humphrey, would have liked to have kept Lawton (but he had a history of injury when Cowboys came knocking so understand our hesitation), think Sam Fainu is one we will regret (but hints at other underlying issues swaying our decision) - I also have seen a lot...
Re Walsh it is bloody hard to find a lot of detail on his league career. I could only find a few appearances off the bench for the Roosters HM side and then it appears he did his knee (I think Smokin Joe referenced this in another post). However given his junior pedigree then benefit of the...
Any chance of Tuitavake and/or Fifita back in the maroon and white. Not setting the world on fire at Dragons (according to their fans) so may be good squad additions. I guess it also depends on who their manager is.
At conclusion of Australian schoolboy championships this past week he has been named on the bench of the Australian Schoolboy merit team e.g. top 17. Hopefully a very bright future in the maroon and white.
I remember watching him at the preseason trail match vs Souths. He came on with about 15-20 mins to go and just oozed class. He got rag dolled a couple of times but his timing and passing were sublime. Looked a player then and has gone from strength to strength.
As per Maxta's post I was/am more dirty on him not being given a shot vs Souths. He played well and good luck to the young man. He may get more of a shot in FG at Souths and reports are their new halfback (Dodds) has been dropped to reserve grade. I would imagine DCE playing on for a couple...
Funny that I thought the same re Brown as well when we signed him. However his leg speed is actually very good. Watching him live you can see the energy he brings. Runs hard, hits hard and has a great offload. He is an "effort player". My only concern is that the way he plays re risks being...
But, but, but.......Croker is too slow, Croker is not a real dummy half, Croker wouldn't make other teams top 17. Sometimes you don't know what you've got until its gone! AND sure his service out of dummy half isn't flash but we sure miss his defence (and you don't truly understand how good it...
