Anyone else think that's dropped off the pace a bit?

According to the smh.com.au website he made 17 tackles and ran for 29 metres.

He was on the field for 31 mins.

i think he is doing ok, and perhaps finding the jump to first grade and playing with intensity week in week out a bit tough for his first season.. need to nurse these guys a bit, i think backs can jump to first grade a lot easier then forwards - especially those with a very limited game like De Belin has.

he needs to develop a step and a passing game - needs to learn from merrin. if he continues to just try and be a battering ram, then his career will go the same way as nathan long... injury prone...

I have a big wrap on this guy. Yeah those fugures aint good, but need to take them in context. When was he on the field, i.e during the Eels swing. And 17 tackles for less than one half off footy aint so bad . He will come good once he cements his spot. Great runner, hits hard, and has youth on his side.

I have big wraps on him to but I don't know, he just seems to have dropped off a bit.

Marketo was quiet on sat night.

Dragons need to bring atelea vea for manly clash, he is physical and that's what we need.

Elias, give him time. Potentially he has it all. Agree Marketo was quiet on Sat. Thought Scott was tough and looked good.

Our physicality walked out the door with Smith, Costigan, Saffy.

And next year when we dont have Scott, we wont have any.

None of our forwards are physical.

In the past month we have not controlled the ruck. Now with Weyman missing, we don't have that punch up the centre either.
The only way out of this is for all the forwards, including Jack, to believe they can rise to the occasion, and do it for each other.

yep ... big problems next season with a powder puff forward pack...
we have all seen this coming since the end of 2010 yet the club fails to do anything about it...

Marketo tried all night, but he is too small to break through. We should use him a bit wider up against smaller guys. In saying that his defence up the middle is good.

i havent seen much of him play.. but i would have thought by age 25 if he was any good he would not still be 6th prop in line at the warriors...
