Dufty finally gets a game

[blacksafake]

Thanks Kiama, yes I do remember now.

Amos Roberts scored 22 points on debut (1 try and 9 goals) with the St. George-Illawarra Dragons on 6 May 2000 against the Auckland Warriors. This is the standing National Rugby League record for points scored on a first grade debut.

How's Dufty going to do that all in 7mins ?

Well If he doesn't he'll soon be back in reggies lol

 

[dragon-83]

He will probably get 5 10 minutes is my guess.

 

[OzDragon]

Bring him on 30th minute at FB, Mann to halves, McCrone to bench.

He (and Field) would carve the ever loving shit out of tired defence. Exciting future methinks!

Jai field having a very good game at fullback in u20s. Sliced through on a kick return and put Willis in under the posts. Then a great cutout pass to put the winger in. Pure class.

I was told Dufty would start at 1. Doesn't look that way now.

I look forward to seeing him come on with 10 to go.

[mickeylane]

C"Mon Dufty son!! In for a big debut is my tip! Bad news Thompdon out

 

[Dragsters]

Dragons will win 26-18
Dufty to score two tries and be selected at fullback from now on.

I'm with you possm.

If Aitken's defense doesn't improve, then Dugan, when fit, to slot into centre then if indeed Dufty plays well, give him the 1 jumper for a run over the back end of the season in prep for next year.

Dufty starting at full back! I feel like we have had a victory already and the game hasn't started. This is what all of us on the Forum have been campaigning for about 6 weeks. Obviously Mary reads the Forum to get some ideas but doesn't react immediately because he wants to claim the selections as his own. Onya Mary!! Anything else we can help you with?

Go Matt and the Dragons!

 

[2010]

Dufty looks like he will be our fullback. Leave him there from now. Dugan should not be selected over Dufty.

 

[coast_dragons]

He looks comfortable.

 

[thebigredv]

Early days but he can't do much more than that. Hope he can jag a try today.

Well done Matty.Fantastic Debut. Can't understand why he wasn't given a go earlier? Anyway, Looks to have a bright future. Has everything our side lacks..Quick ,with a great step.
