How can you possibly justify playing Field at centre? Swap him and Lomax.

I don't care if Mary plays centre himself, it's all about trying to put lipstick on a pig. Swap players as they please, we need a new culture and better leadership first. This is all futile.

No wonder Dufty’s confidence is shot
He was our fullback all last year and had a sensational semi final game against the Broncos
Then bring on 2019
First of all mcIdiot doesn’t him , then shops him around then picks him as reserve
Finally he gets a chance at fullback scores a couple of sensational tries but comes a cropper against Newcastle then gets dropped .
Last year he had the benefit of having a big winger in Nene to assist with the carries back
( oh and don’t get me started on how mcIdiot stuffed our spine and Lomax around )

Well it could be worse, he could be off contract.

I’d prefer it..

Just get him out of the coaches box, and whilst he’s running around, replace him with either a blow up doll, cactus or a packet of Tim Tams..

Doesn’t matter which one, but it’s an improvement.:

Should never play 1st grade again, I don't care how many tries he scores. Go with Field until Lomax is available.

You don't care how many tries he scores? Cmon slippery, yes you do.
I agree its almost time to cancel experiment, hit the delete button, hook him BUT his tries do count, his try assists do count.
If he could catch a highball I think we could almost accept his getting rag dolled around in kick returns. But that coupled with the constant knock ons is too much and he has to be sent back to reserve grade for mine.
But his tries do count.

Dufty's Skills
Attack in broken play - excellent
Attack in structured play when a try is on - excellent
Kick returns - average
One on one defence - terrible
Passing game - good
High ball - unreliable
Kicking game - average

My recommendation - let him go

Sounds and looks like a pass mark to me

Everything you say here is right , but he is the only attacking weapon we have , so at this stage I would have him there ....

I say the recruitment of a first grade fullback or centre is the solution to our problem.

We need a new coach before we look at new players.

That must be why we re-signed Mary.. The club is just waiting for one of these players to come onto the market & we’re all set for success..

I hope they pick the right one..

He's got a couple of clear deficiencies that hit his confidence when they are exposed, most notably his ability under the high ball.

Team Maestro could do worse than sending him to the Swans or GWS for a week or two to work on some skills and reset his thinking. Bellamy, Slater etc have worked cooperatively with AFL teams.

Dufty under the high ball and big Mummy & Buddy coming for him
Learn quick or book into St Vincent’s, yep that could just about work out for us.

Not if you're letting in 2 for every try (or assist) you score, which is what happened against Cows, have a look at him going for the support player rather than attacking the ball carrier, even the commentators mentioned it.
He just has no confidence or ''ability'' to execute a FRONT ON TACKLE.
End of story.

*except for that one he pulled off on Taumalolo..

Taumololo actually fell over him. If he put his body in front more often as he did then, I'd be happy.

So Taumalolo tackled himself?

yep, Yep & YEP because it was a f'n fluke he ended up in front of him. Trainer should have checked his pants after that "tackle" LOL

 

[muzby]

Ahh.. I love it..

Dufty misses a tackle in broken play, it’s his fault..
