Kurt mann

[GC Dragon]

I prefer Mann at fullback next year as well . He has a great passing game both ways . Has some speed and a good all round kicking game . Needs a off season in the gym but is only 22 so he will get bigger ...Duges at right centre will give us a good right side in attack and defence....Will be less taxing on him as well

 

[saint06]

Less taxing?? On Dugan??? Won't he being making any tackles?? Maybe 20 more per game, than he would at Fullback. Plus you are paying a fullbacks wage for a centre....

No thanks. Best FB we have, best FB for NSW, leave him there....

 

[coast_dragons]

hopefully for a fullbacks pay packet he learns to pass.

 

[GC Dragon]

The taxing comment was made by Duges himself about playing fullback compared to centre . He certainly would be making a lot more tackles at centre point taken . I like the idea of a ball playing fullback in the modern game

Wish we had snared Munster instead.

Never even a chance mate. Kid still has a year to go on his existing contract and only two clubs in the mix. Storm and Eels. Both HUGE money offers. He will be a star this one.

Yeah, interesting to see how he goes at centre for the Storm until Slater retires (will fill in at fullback when Slater's not available)

I'm trying to figure out what ball playing skills Mann has shown to be considered a ball playing fullback??? And even more, to take Duges spot.

Hes primarily a fullback or half only played centre in first grade as the spot opened up

Yeap he has vision and can ball play.

What are you talking about? I saw Duges throw a pass last game. It was a hospital pass, but a pass none the less. There is hope.

I saw that pass too!!

He threw a cut out pass to his winger who was marked, instead of the inside runner who was through a gap and probably would have scored.

But hey, at least he threw a pass that was actually caught. It's progress.

That's the one, glad I didn't imagine it!

Was that Justin Hunt on the receiving end? He did well to catch it. He obviously wasn't expecting it, because if Duges has the ball, why would you.

Just watching Storm V Broncos, Kurt Mann just scored a try. Jez he looks young, both Rabs and Sterlo stated he is a good pick up for the Dragons...he could do with some bulking up...
Born: March 1, 1993 (age 22), Winton

I rather see him at fullback the Dugan.

Agree. Mann has a better passing game than Dugan. Dugan has a stronger running game than any of our current centre options. It's a simple choice really.

 

[Forster Dragon]

Mann is a ready made NRL centre.On looks he does need a bit of bulk to his frame.Will only get better.

 

[Weipa Dragon]

Yeah Mann fullback and aitken Dugan centres. Mata and Flo wingers. Could really work

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Seen him play a couple of times now and am quite impressed....whether he can play with the same enthusiasm for Mary that he does for Bellamy remains to be seen

 

[hardbaby]

Funny stuff. I've read so many people on this form criticise Mann. He scores two tries. The coming of the messiah. He is good. He always was good. It's a very astute signing. Now we just need a quick winger.
