F.O. Dallin...

I would tap Lee Oudenryn on the shoulder to come out of retirement at this point...
All jokes aside, lets get some one in to create competition for next season. If not here, than from UK, ANYONE.
We are not getting our 700k's worth of NRL winger out of this prima donna.

This team used to have great wingers and now we have 10 years past his prime Roger on one side (not knockng Roger, hes doing a job) and Calamity Jane on the other.

Then if one of those get injured, take your pick from Kosi or Morgan Harper. The only thing McFadden hasnt timed to perfection. All these other guns have come on the scene at the right time, (I love Leka and Vaumaga) but no winger in sight.

DWZ's attack is OK. He does some good hard runs. Yep he dropped that ball at the start and then the PTB error. Shit happens. As we all know, its his defence. Has he lost all confidence? Every side must just plan to run that way and it will work! Easily!

The Knights targeted his wing from the start, and it paid off.
The one time he was in his place on defence he completely missed his man.
He has got a new name in our house. Vacant Mullet.

He was terrible!! Even when we had numbers on that sure he was playing at the ball rather than just marking his player.
And he had a couple of errors when we had the ball!!

So did we, weirdly. Despite the other side really seeming to be more of a threat.

I get that he was marking a guy who is a bit of a liability himself

As long as he scores/creates more or equal to what he lets in, he can be carried.

Right now he has got that balance off, not scoring/creating/finishing enough opportunities.

This is until we get better options

Yeah I'm not in favour of dumping Dallin based on yesterday alone.

He has had a sloppy, injury-packed season, but yesterday looked a lot like a head job as well - overplaying his hand and chasing the game after that first knock on. We don't have equal or better options unless we rip the band-aid and replace him with Taine, until then he's at least trying unlike Kosi and should improve with more game time.

He's been doing this for a season and a half. And yeah, he also did it in 2023 but SJ was creating enough and Dallin was finishing well enough that it wasn't noticeable. He's getting worse and worse.

I would 100% drop him next week. Taine showed enough on D last week that he can slot in and do a job, when CNK is back (he seemed to confirm on insta that he would be)
