Dean Young at 5/8? WTF?!?!

[Willow]

Great effort with the stats Albino. Did you compile those yourself?

yeh i've been working on something for a while now. tried to get it done for the start of the season but now that uni's started again it's gonna have to wait till 2007 i guess.

i hope the surgery can install a sidestep again.

C'mon, they're not miracle workers...

in case you were wondering (or mildly interested at least):

Dragons 5/8's since 99 (named as 5/8 at start of match only)

7. Lance Thompson :? - 1 match, 0.00%

What a sh*t team.. When was that? Did we win that game? Leikvoll... Hart. hookey, peters...Farrar.... Nightmare stuff

i'd say we didn't win it mong because thommos record at 5/8 as suggested was zip

I would almost go as far to say that is close to the sh*ttest team we have fielded in the last 10 years. Although I didn't think to much of the side we posted against the Knights at Origin time last year either.

 

[Ribs]

Bit silly asking how we went in that game. Farrar was coach.

I'm not so much worried about Dean Young at 5/8, but the pressure it will create for Hornby.

I'd much rather a recognised half, in Sheppard, being placed in the side.

At least Hornby has somebody with experience in the halves to turn to when he's handled the ball for the billionth time in the 60th minute.

Not to doubt Deano, but he does an amazing job in the forwards, and we're only weakening our pack against a good side to strengthen our backs.

Stick Gas in at 5/8 and send a junior to the wing, sit Best at centre. At least backs are in reasonably adjustable positions. Second row to 5/8 is a big transition.

 

[S2H]

There will be massive pressure on the kicking game on Sunday. Gorrell is going to have to make some kicks on the last I would think.

 

[Drew-Sta]

I'm pretty sure Young can kick, but you're right S2H. Hornby is going to be rushed up on a few times that's for sure.
