Dufty made the NRL team of the week! Along with LAM, Widdop and JDB
1. Matt Dufty (Dragons)
Dragons fans have been waiting patiently to see Dufty in the top grade and he didn't disappoint in his NRL debut. He looked lively from his very first touches and completed a memorable day out with a try a minute from full-time, two try assists, two line breaks, 11 tackle breaks and 188 run metres.
Makes it even harder for Mary to not pick him in the team!
That's super impressive stats on debut.Dufty made the NRL team of the week! Along with LAM, Widdop and JDB

Unlucky on Aitken - he was looking very sharp yesterday..Gee I hope Duges is out and then it's Dufty to FB and Mann to centre for Aitken. AItken is injured apparently.
Well if that's the case, he should have taken the Knights offer.I don't necessarily think he was offered anything more solid. After all he has been used as a utility and Millward actually stated after he signed or during the signing process that Mann's value is he can play anywhere in the backline.
I agree . Same deal with Frizz playing busted but Mary doesn't think that way . He tries to squeeze every last drop from his experienced players he possibly can . The Titans game was proof of that . Three players busted at the captains run . All three played and all three broke down one after the other during the game .He also rushed Aitken back for that game and he hurt his hammy again . Common sense would have suggested that with a bye the following week it may have been a idea to give him the extra two weeks . But again vision or forward thinking doesn't exist in Mary's world .If true Packer is playing busted then they should rest him.
We have Lawrie who can slot in and gain valuable experience if we can't find an experienced replacement for packer for next season.
If we do make the semis then a fully fit Packer will be valuable.

Geez, I think he has only made the ISP team once. Is it possible that surrounded by a team that was on fire could have put him there? Maybe.. but I watched Tedesco in the following game and he is the full package in attack and defence. I'm not trying to be controversial but I think Nighty did half his job. Forwards covered him which you would expect. Still not sure how he'll go with all the publicity surrounding him. The coaches (something Mary doesn't do) will look at that game and will try to shut him down. Just a thought.Dufty made the NRL team of the week! Along with LAM, Widdop and JDB

And Duges could break a finger nail and miss a game. Frizz is a champ but I just hope it's not to his detriment.It doesn't make sense? The medical staff and the players themselves have a say in it as well. Mary even said in the press conference that Frizz wouldn't let Mary rest him or he wouldn't allow himself to miss games or something rather.
Surely mary will keep dufty at fb and move dugan to centre. if Mary does this we will put 30+ on knights
F**k you're optimistic. I'll be happy if we put 10 on them. They're lifting their game as recent scores would suggest. Barrett said his team looked like a shambolic NYC game. He was right. Dragons need to have their game on because I don't underestimate them one bit.Surely mary will keep dufty at fb and move dugan to centre. if Mary does this we will put 30+ on knights
Your right drag but they know what billy slaters going to do .but shuting him down is easier said than done.speed speed speed its hard to stop.Geez, I think he has only made the ISP team once.

Hes a smart player, shutting him down will only result in creating extra pace for widdop etc not always badYour right drag but they know what billy slaters going to do .but shuting him down is easier said than done.speed speed speed its hard to stop.

My thoughts exactly. I believe we went into the Tigers, Dogs, Knights and Titans games with a degree of complacency and the results were ordinary. That cannot happen this week or we will be drowning our sorrows and lamenting what might have been. Mindset has to be 'win at all costs' and set us on course for the 8.F**k you're optimistic. I'll be happy if we put 10 on them. They're lifting their game as recent scores would suggest. Barrett said his team looked like a shambolic NYC game. He was right.
