Dufty ?

Yeah I'll be nervous for him when we're up against the likes of the Storm. He'll struggle from time to time, like any young rookie. But we need to show patience. In 2-3 year he'll be fine.

No disrespect jOhnesy but with all the hoopla surrounding this kid, I don't see him as FB material. You only have to look at all the other teams to realise that. Sure he's fast, much like Quinlan. Still can't defend. We need a Teddy in this role.

I think you're being pretty harsh on the kid. It took James tedesco a while to adapt to first grade tbh. Defence is the number 1 problem for NYC players. Just have to give him time. He seems to go alright though.

Teddy is still relatively young mate, He is still the full package. Attack and defend. That's what we need in a FB. Throw in Alex Johnston for that matter. You've got a star FB right there mate.

It's fine mate, you're entitled to you opinion. I can see where you're coming from. Yes, and there is a bit too much hype around him right now. Which is concerning. I still think he's got it though, much more of a competitor than Quinlan, who's a bit soft.

Trust me when I say that Alex Johnston took ages to peak at fullback. He was really average there for many years. Maybe you guys should've kept Dugan and developed dufty on the wing?!

Today Dufty showed some really good skills in defence, passing and speed to burn. His timing is very advanced for his age. I'd say he is a keeper and should be extended asap. With some really promising outside backs coming through, I feel confident that Macdonald, Aitken, Lafai and Nightingale will have to be right on there game to keep their first grade position in late 2018.

But not 'great' skills possm. Plenty of younger dudes already making headlines mate.

At this point in time he is no better than Quinny. I do however like the no-bullying theme subjected to Mann and Quinlan. This kid is getting overs for being quite ordinary in actual play. Nothing bad, but definitely not great. His defence is woeful. Put him in a wing position.
Once again
Lol. Johnston is about the same age as Dufty right? 21-22.
He is 12 months older but was given a go a lot earlier than Dufty was.
Drag...Can't you find another player to harp on about and bag I am sick of reading your posts bagging Dufty every chance you get...it is really boring and soooo repetitive

He seems to have dropped of a bit for you guys. He was awesome on debut but hasn't played like it since. He isn't playing badly though and he still seems like a classy player.

Stop f**king reading my posts. Don't reply, and simply ignore. He isn't the fullback we need.

Why dont you f**k off no one is agreeing with your posts anyway you a just a knocker who is not even willing to give him a go ... he has played awesome since debuting making very few errors and backing up constantly. I hope he proves you wrong you lousy piece of shit!!!!

Dufty has been solid and for a guy 3 games in thats what I wanted to see.

Fullback is a tough gig you are expected to link into an attacking structure which Dugan fails to do and thats why I am not concerned he's gone.

To base a guy on 3 games seems to be the norm for some people.

Dufty has time on his hands and I doubt he would be concerned what some people may think of him.
