Great to see Dugan get named. Fully deserved. That's a pretty decent side too.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Good on him. 2nd best fullback in the game right now behind Hayne and he thoroughly deserves it.

 

[aussies1st]

Congrats Dugan well deserved.

 

[Raidersrawesome]

well done to Doogs and the rest of the boys. Just been in that crowd and environment will do Doogs wonders.

I wish this game could be televised.

Speaking of Canberra players who made the PM's XIII what happened with Joe Picker? How come he never played more matches?

 

[Bobby DIGital]

^His form dropped and TLL's went through the roof. Harrison was also outstanding this season. Picker should of got more games off the bench though

Congrats to all the players selected! Especially the Raiders.

Surprised that Myles got picked after his crap season. Still I suppose in Port Moresby he could take a dump anywhere and no-one would notice.

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Thoroughly deserved. Great season from the youngster and cant wait to see him next season.

 

[shear_joy9]

no idea how campese and monaghan were picked again.

fantastic news for dugan. The kid has superstar written all over him.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Good on him. 2nd best fullback in the game right now behind Hayne and he thoroughly deserves it.

:lol::lol: You cant be serious.

Slater and Patten sh*ts all over Dugan.

Dugan has had a great year undoubtedly, and the kid will have a very great future, but to put him ahead of Slater already is just stupid or extreme bias.

 

[Raider_69]

the stats and form say he's 2nd behind hayne for season 09

he's not #2 on the pecking order, you gotta have sustained form for more than a season to go that high, but on form and stats based on this year, he's better than slater, and every fullback aside from J.Hayne

 

[Broncos93]

Good luck to him, but he's not 2nd fullback in the game. Prime Ministers XIII picked on teams that aren't in the semis obviously. Every fullback still in the semis would beat Josh Dugan. Hunt, Patten, Slater, Hayne, Boyd and Campbell. Maybe not the last two, they're debatable IMO.

 

[Timbo]

I'd take Dugan over Campbell and Boyd any day of the week and twice on a weekend.

In two more years, I'll take him over the rest too.

 

[Raider_69]

I feel i speak for all raiders fans when i say, Hayne aside, i wouldnt trade Josh Dugan for any of them.

 

[Raidersrawesome]

I feel i speak for all raiders fans when i say, Hayne aside, i wouldnt trade Josh Dugan for any of them.

second that. even then Id push Hayne to wing/centre to accomadate Dugan


:lol::lol: at Boyd , he isnt a fullbacks bootlace. He is absolute sh*te

 

[nickraider]

I feel i speak for all raiders fans when i say, Hayne aside, i wouldnt trade Josh Dugan for any of them.

Most definitely. I'm so glad one William Zillman went to the Titans.

 

[Broncodr01d]

Congrats, thoroughly deserved. Most impressive, HANG THE HELL ON TO HIM.

 

[Broncos93]

Haha ok I'll correct myself.
Boyd and Campbell aren't debatable, their out altogether. Although I stand by Hayne, Hunt, Slater and Patten. But yeah Dugan's on the rise. I have the greatest of respect for him for trying to stand in front of Dave Taylor =P. He may not have stopped him but he put him into touch which is all that matters.
