Josh Dugan - "I'm a world class player"

[AlwaysGreen]

Duges loves dollars.

 

[super_coach]

He is not a player who turns a game on its head, so demand mega bucks is crazy. He should get good coin but not playmaker coin.

As for being a world class player, maybe, but one thing he is world class at..being a bogan

 

[ed-grimley]

He's the best fullback on most continents.

2017s buzzword: fullback money

Getting a bit of competition from "on the bus" lately.

'Big 4?'

'Big 4?'

Was looking a solid contender but I tend to think its run its race.

I would like to see Dugan on a 4 year $4M Contract.

I don't need to name the Club.

 

[TheVelourFog]

only recently have I heard about this different positions having different pay scales

so a world-class centre is paid less than an average fullback? doesn't make sense

 

[BennyV]

Young player with a great running game and ability to beat his man 1:1. I like him, happy to disagree with you on this.

He's all yours! Young and strong (like, really strong) and has a decent right-foot step when he gets the ball with some space. Instincts suck, not very evasive and has no awareness at all (like watching an under 8s kid tuck the ball under his arm and run no matter what is happening around him). Breaks tackles but doesnt know what to do from there! Defensively he is a huge weakness, his decision making is horrid.

Could very well be a coaching issue, but after bursting onto the scene, other teams have worked him out both sides of the ball and he's reached a ceiling, holding back a couple of better young centres in the meantime.

It broke up on re-entry.

Is there such a thing as a world class centre in the modern game?

 

[kal83]

He's having a good game today. #centredollars

 

[JamesRustle]

He's been offered world class fullback money.... discounted for average time spent on the field.

Is that why u guys extended him?

 

[Pedge1971]

Dime a dozen, like I said. The rest of the dozen are probably bigger, can tackle, and pass as well.

Who?

 

[Pedge1971]

Those players are not just world-class, they are in the All-Time class. I think the stickler in this conversation is the definition of "world class". Dugan is under the impression, rather fairly, that playing at international level = world class. I think that's reasonably accurate. A Kangaroos jersey is worth something.

Certainly more accurate than saying someone like Mitch Rein is a rep level player, because he's played in Country v City.

To me it isnt about 'world class'. More about will he get a million a year. Know where I stand on that. But sure sign him up he was good in the centres tonight.........shame about another injury.

Million a year.....peh!

dugan walks into canberra hospital with his broken cheekbone..



triage nurse: "finally showed your face in this town again hey? who punched you?"

Maybe Duges meant he was a world class Centre . . . albeit it one with a glass jaw

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Was excellent last night on his home turf.

If he had stayed in canberra instead of pissing off to the dragons he'd be an immortal by now.
