But dudes, the Bulldogs are inconsistent across the board.
Reimis Smith is an example of what can happen to a player getting them out of a shit club with shit systems and Lachie is 100 times better than Reimis. Watch Nick Meaney next year - he's roundly thought of as a bum yet the Storm of all clubs get him in as the Hynes replacement. Finucane went from a plodder to a superstar.
The Morris twins were unwanted in here yet went on to play starring roles elsewhere after some ordinary years in that retched Dogs organisation.
J Thurston................
Works in reverse as well. Pissflap jnr, Corey Allen, Christian Crighton, Nick Cotric have all gone there recently and have gone backwards IMO.
The Dogs club has nearly been career suicide for so many players. The joint is a toxic playground of ineptitude.
Hallelujah! Someone "gets it"!
All of the deficiencies highlighted can be worked on and improved. What he has in his favour is a good kicking game, willingness to put his body on the line, tackle, chase - all of the 1%ers that the majority of people don't really see.
He is a good person off the field with no indiscretions, as confirmed by a few here.
I like him and would be pleased to see the Club sign him.
Queensland is his State of Origin, so when I refer to him as reaching that stage, it is for QLD, not NSW.
I absolutely guarantee if he were to make the switch to a stronger Club he would play Origin for QLD.
