o Quinlan: He wasn't as effective against the Broncs, though I love the way he manages to hang on to those poorly given offloads.. but its not enough to hold his spot on that alone.. but the Dogs game he was huge..
o Dufty: I've said from the start that I wanted Dufty to play NSW Cup and give him more time to bulk up & get confidence before being thrown into 1st grade, but with finals contention over, 1 very good game for the Cutters & an injured Dugan, I could definitely see some initial blooding this season (even this week), because there is no real pressure on the side, and then he can go back to 20's Fullback for finals & NSW Cup Fullback (or 5/8) for 2017.
Note: One of the biggest problems for Mann's fullback debut (the forgotten kid) was that Dugan was fit and fans were losing their minds about Mann being selected over Duges, the kid had no chance under that pressure.
o Dugan: The spanner in all this is the return of Dugan in a few weeks time.. ive actually enjoyed his injury because Mary has been forced to think.
