Not sure that maths adds up?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.
Ahh.. I love it..
Dufty misses a tackle in broken play, it’s his fault..

Opposition coaches know his weaknesses and play to them. He is not a 1st grade full back and never will be. For all his attacking flare, he just makes to many errors. Name me another team who will finish in the top 6 who would have him. It is no one's fault, he just doesn't cut itMate it's more than that and you know it.
He is a gifted attacking player, whom has argubale scored the try of the year to date.
His defence has been shown up several times, he is also hesitant under the high ball and struggles to return any decent metres from the back. These areas are now pivotal for any fullback.
Matt is an exciting offensive player, who can score a try from anywhere, but until the club address his overall game, he will remain an average first grader.
So he had a good game & should be an automatic selection at FB?Not sure that maths adds up?
The cowboys only scored 3 tries, for your theory to be correct they would have needed to have scored 4 tries that were directly related to Dufty errors.
Matt scored 1 and 1 try assist.
Matt also fell for two of the biggest Dummies. One of them led to a tryNot sure that maths adds up?

Sorry don't know who Tony Quirk is. Player of yesteryear?So he had a good game & should be an automatic selection at FB?
I'm starting to wish we still had Tony Quirk
My biggest problem with Dufty is his constant knock ons. If he can get that out of his game I'm happy.Matt also fell for two of the biggest Dummies. One of them led to a try
He’s picking Robson.Maybe Timm has signed with another club for 2020. Mary is very reluctant to select a player who has signed elsewhere for next season.
Famous for a Mid Week Amco Cup game & dropped a sitter, prompting I think Ray Warren to Scream out "Oh Tony Quirk"Sorry don't know who Tony Quirk is. Player of yesteryear?
I'm not even sure if he fell for the dummy, I had to watch it again in slow motion as it appeared he just went for the support player, so he didn't have to tackle the ball carrierMatt also fell for two of the biggest Dummies. One of them led to a try
I always thought that Dufty needed an experienced Fullback in FG that would mentor him and help bring him through to FG.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.

Why settle for a fringe first grade player who can attack but not defend when you can recruit one who is an SOO standard player who can both attack and defend.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.

Very close but not quite right. In 2019 Millward and Mary decided to recruit Norman and at the same time keep Widdop forcing Dufty to reserve grade. When Widdop was re-injured, Dufty was brought back into first grade.2018 Dufty was a shining light for us
2019 McIdiot shops him around , makes him a reserve , then reluctantly puts him back at Fullback
Dufty is now a deer in the headlights , confidence shot.
Mary is a dead set joke
Dufty would be a good fit for the Storm. A good backup fullback behind Hughes and a good project the Storm's coaching staff. We could swap Dufty for the Storms second string fullback or for Manly's Tom Turbo.He’s the prototypical rocks and diamonds player. He’ll win you a few games but he will lose you just as many.
Hard to win a comp with someone like that in such a key position.
Under a good coaching system he may have had a chance to be a top class player. Not here though. What could be possibly learn from Mary, Hornby, Young etc??
