Jai Field yet another great white hope. He has speed but he is also a speed hump. He can't tackle at ISP level let alone NRL.Mann is rubbish, jai field to five eighth

How do we end up with all these midgetesque and nuggety type players when it seems like just about every other team has huge, quick, real athletic type backs? Is it a fetish of Mary's?
All year I expected us to be talking about our backs as our achilles heel come finals time but turns out our forwards are just as poor.
Obviously, you didn’t see Dugan’s try this arvo he scored from dummy half with THREE BLOKES on his back.

i would like to see Field in the team my major concern is with Dufty, Hunt and Field in the team together we have 3 major liabilities in defence... Duf has to be the worst defencive FB in the game.Mann is rubbish, jai field to five eighth
One of the best fullback exponents in the comp is also one of the most underrated.How do we end up with all these midgetesque and nuggety type players when it seems like just about every other team has huge, quick, real athletic type backs? Is it a fetish of Mary's?

Let me get this straight, the side coming last put 40 on us and it’s the fullbacks defence that is the issue.
Ok then.

I'm not saying I want Mary as coach in 2019 after what's happened in the 2nd half of this year. If there is an option for a coach that has the goods, and not just taking 'any other' coach than I'm definitely open to it.
We may disagree a little here, but I think the physical fatigue people talk about is more a symptom of mental fatigue or weakness.
If Mary gets sacked this year I believe the players have a large responsibility of that happening due to not showing up. Now, you'll get many ppl saying 'well that's the coaches job to get them up for it'. The way Mary has spoken and the intent of focusing on standards and values inside the playing group I err on the side of thinking that he is holding his end of the bargain up and the players aren't. It takes two to dance, and many of these players are mentally not there because of xyz (reasons I mentioned in my precious post).
It's sad. And possibly there's some friction among a couple of players. Who knows. Probably not, but it's possible.
If players being mentally right was all on the coach than Mary was God for the first part of this year. The Storm game at Kogarah was a perfect example. You'd think he would know how to get the boys up mentally these days if that was the case, but truth is is that the players need to hold their end too. They were earlier this year. Now they're down on confidence and in a momentum... Momentum goes both ways, good and bad. We're in the bad momentum right now.
Paul green is a premiership winning coach. The crap the cowboys players have dished up this year not even a premiership coach can fix... I'm sure green is holding up his end up, the players aren't.
The players we have are generally mentally weak...except a few. One of those, Graham, showed almighty heart last night.
But 3 tries against us last week when dufty gets sinbinned, and then last night sinbinned too equals a try and a lot of tiredness due to defence.... That bs is out of a coaches hand
And don't get me started on our backs letting bombs go and not attempting to catch them. ..the stinks of confidence troubles, playing not to lose, attitude issues, and cracking under high pressure moments. Those moments are a reflection of the greater whole though: the team as a whole is struggling confidence wise.
I have changed the topic but still related to Dufty

NRL Leaks is back with all the latest word on player movement, recruitment whiffs and inspiring performances.
MATT DUFTY’S ASKING PRICE A BIT RICH
Matt Dufty's future at St George-Illawarra isn't as rosy as most would believe.
Contracted until the end of 2019, the Dragons attempted to start the process of extending Dufty's contract.
However, the young fullback's asking price is far beyond what the club is willing to pay.
Dufty's asking price also reflects a fullback who boasts a passing and kicking game - none of which he currently has in his arsenal.
