Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Wests Tigers @ McDonald Jones Stadium

What's Young like under a high ball if he goes to wing?
Seems more like a centre to me.

 

[Burwood]

He seems like he’d be a bit cumbersome compared to the standard NRL winger. From what little I’ve seen of him, he’s quite aggressive in defence, so if he decides to rush up he would be caught out quite easily you’d have to think.

Just watching them warm up. He lined up inside Hunt on the right, for catching practice.

That's interesting. So Shibisaki left wing? Come to think of it I recall seeing him spend time there in the trial. It might be less about preferable sides or combinations and more about pairing Young with Hunt's experience and consistency. I guess we'll find out in 10 minutes anyway.

Centre would make more sense to me.
It's a big step into the NRL.
At centre he'll have support from our fwds who play wide at times.
Hunt right could lead into when Lee goes back to the left.
We might end up with:

Lee, Best, Young, Hunt L to R.

Big ovation for Dom as they ran through the team. Let’s see how he handles it. Seems like a cool customer.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Shib starts on R wing as it turns out.

 

[Tom155]

Cmon shiba

 

[Burns]

How big is Young

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Interesting that Shib is out on the right to take kicks.

 

[Tom155]

Rough start

 

[Haffa]

Great Start...

 

[Jono078]

What an awful start.

 

[Haffa]

Poor start...

 

[Jono078]

What an awful start.

 

[K-Man]

Classic "milestone" Knights start. Just hold onto the ball ffs and get into this game. Tigers are hopeless but you have to put them under pressure not let them do it easy.

 

[Haffa]

Conceding first try seems to be the trend this year.

 

[Burns]

Young and Shibasaki look like a worry in defence

 

[K-Man]

Okay I concede already, that is some truly awful defending from Young. Embarrassing.

 

[Jono078]

Well the hype will die quick with Dom if this is the defense. May need to switch with someone in defense.
