Around the Grounds

They’ll offload him as soon as Toia and Angus Crichton are finished with rep duties.

They need to do it before June 30 don’t they?

Yeah, I had miscounted. Origin 3 is July 9.

We have a bye first up following June 30 (July 3-6). And Chooks have one the week before (June 26-29), so they won’t need him. I can see them string it out right to the deadline just to be petty, though.

Realistically, young isn’t going to turn us into a top 8 side, so no point trying to rush it,

I’d rather give guys like myers and McCarthy more experience

Agreed, and the longer they stall, the less it should cost us.

“Should” being the key word.

Michael Carayannis on ABC Sport claiming it’s a lock Dom will be here before June 30.

I really hope that's true

 

[Apey]

Who are our wingers at full strength though? I guess you give Dom a shot in firsts and hope we can fix him.

Marz and Dom for sure. I don't think Schiller has done enough to demand a spot

 

[Zoidberg]

The amount of injuries we get they will all get plenty of games.

I’m a bit apprehensive about Dom coming back after watching him last night. I’d forgotten how far he’s regressed since he left. Whatever happens I really hope the club have thought about this and realise he’s going to take a lot of work, not just throw him in the side and he goes back to playing how he was here. Having Gags back next to him will help a lot but not solve it. He has all the physical attributes though so there’s that at least. I think if we were in great form I’d be more optimistic about it.

I can’t see Marz lasting much longer with his error rate esp under high ball. He should really be in the forwards

 

[Woody90]

Marz will always be first choice winger until someone else takes on some of his work rate.

Weak forwards mean he is essential.

Dom's good for a couple of errors every game so oppositions will target Marzhew less, so less errors.

Yay lol?

 

[Woody90]

Just on the Galvin stuff: the NRL seriously need to consider that Gus having an important role in a club and also media presence where he’s expected to be impartial is a huge conflict of interests. Literally a month ago he’s coming out and saying that Galvin staying with the Tigers is untenable and now he’s signing with the Dogs? It’s extremely suspicious and I’d be fuming if I were a Tigers supporter.

So reduce one players errors by creating other players errors so instead of one terrible player we have two mistake riddled players.
Couldnt the Stats Man spread say 34 errors in game so that each player makes 2 errors meaning we have 17 error prone instead of several terrible or mistake riddled players meaning we have a more efficient overall team.

A bloke who makes 1 tackle (by accident) a game if he's lucky isn't going to last in the forwards.

yep, which is the problem. Built like a hooker, runs like a prop, hands of an elephant seal, also tackles like one.

If Dom gets here soon, then Schiller to left centre beside Marz may be our best option until Bradman returns. Hard to see Marz holding Schiller out long term TBH. Schills can play either flank with ease:
