Do you mean like the last try the dragons team have scored .. you know the trial vs the tigers where JDB gets the ball, goes to the line attracting two defenders, gets the ball out to Hunt two wide of the ruck who gets between two defenders due to the space JDB gave him. Hunt gets partially through frees the arms and finds RFM who then goes back inside to Sloan. Is that zero value? Is that what you have never seen JDB do?

The quote from Ennis "it's the ball playing of debelin in the middle"

Is that what you are both talking about?

Wow, so it's created one try in how many years? That's impressive stuff dude. You sit back and enjoy that singular moment.
He stifles the attack more times than not. Easily predictable stuff that opposition defences laugh at and eat for breakfast.
Much more useful at prop doing grunt work and staying out of the way of ball play.

Agree with you Flickflanno!

JDB was the benchmark 13 before Yeo was in the picture. It was the ball playing he was good at and got him to origin with his defence. That’s what differentiated him from other 13s at that moment because he could defend, attack and had good passing game.

Didn’t he at one point even play at 6 for a game, it surely wasn’t because of his running game. It’s because he had a good attract and pass. 😂

Oh dear. He was picked at halfback actually. By McGregor. That should be all you need to work out how stupid that idea was.

Yeah no I agree with you, stupid idea! But that is besides the point. The point is he got picked there because of his ability to do what you’re saying he cannot do.

You cannot deny that, not factually. He literally played origin because of his defence and ball playing skills.

I get what your point as well however the dragons forwards haven’t been fit enough to give him options in attack, no one fit enough to run lines and decoys. Only so much he can do. 13 or 10 he’s solid either way.

My concern is not in the forwards. Our 1,2,3,4,5 is.
The tits have us on pace easily. Will be shifting wide early all day.

No Foran, Canpbell or Fifita.
For us no Leilua, Sele or Lawrie.
Flano said we'd get better each week so he wants to put on show what we've been doing in the off season.

Flanno looking on edge in the dressing room. Would love to be a fly on the wall & hear his pre match talk.
