Does his performance this morning convince us that we should try him again in the centres ? Mann with Dufty as understudy
to No1 ?
to No1 ?
Agree give him a go he will make mistakes he will learn and IMO will be a very good fullback . We are not going to win the premiership next year or the year after that so lets get our future players ready ....I bet everyone said the same about Ash Taylor and Kane Elgey (not being ready) because of their size, youth etc. I think Dufty will be fine and should get a crack their some time this season. Kurt Mann should also be given another crack. Duges should stay in the centres as he looks good there and will be playing his rep footy in that position by the looks of things.
People need to understand that this whole idea about Dufty playing at fullback over Origin is pretty unlikely this year. Dugan will do very well to make the NSW side if Hayne finds his old form and Leilua continues to be destructive.
Dufty has been training with the first grade squad for a couple of seasons now so it's not like he will be completely shell-shocked by the transition. He has to learn somehow, let him play fullback in the trials and see how he goes.
get a new contract on FB money and then move him to centre?
See the question mark ? Many / most want to re-sign him and many /most agree that Dufty or a ball playing FB is what the team needs to improve our attack. Somethings gotta giveLiterally no-one has said that.
