FFS - I tried to wipe away “Norman the Imposter” attempt at goal kicking from my memory ...I reckon Hook has made that decision now that the goal kicking has been given to Bird.

how long can Lomax kick a can down the road ... that’s the question!Thats probably correct at least till Lomax arrives back on the seen....and who knows when that will be
Ponga and dufty are not physically built fullbacks when it comes to defence... Their attack can make up for it (pongal especially).Yes defensively In that situation you are right he will learn that for 1st grade
but you’re wrong about his size
he’s not 3-4 years away he has quite a good build for fullback
he’ll build up bit more in the off-season
I think he will be almost ready next year and be and improved defensive player
Dufty, Pap, Laurie, Ponga were not large when supposedly ready either
And those bagging Ramsay he too is doing fine and will be a better player next year after another off season and getting through his 1st NRL season
His future is also wing / fullback
A proper game plan from the coaching staff and a team that can follow them may bring us success. Seems to work well for the storm, Penrith and South’s. A clean out starting at the Board down would most certainly help!!Yes defensively In that situation you are right he will learn that for 1st grade

And even the on-field ref gave it no try.That’s Dragons Footy...we can’t borrow or steal a win.
Not sure what are you talking about.Ponga and dufty are not physically built fullbacks when it comes to defence... Their attack can make up for it (pongal especially).
I just see him getting smashed in the next couple of years physically due to his size and that's going to lead to confidence issues. Ramsey is the same. Both have unbelievable talent...but today's game requires good decent size
He brought him in to the club and from what I have seen so far the guy is not a first grade anything.He didn’t select Burns as a centre, he selected him on the bench. He replaced Wiliame due to injury.
Here here. Wont happen Hunt is Hooks pet and Hunt wants to play half so Hook allows it. A good organizing 7.. oh yes.. We had the chance to do this before they forked out too much for Hunt and stuck him in the wrong position. The Rev V have lacked a clever ball playing half since Widdop. Please buy us another or develop Sullivan or one of the other youngsters into a long term one.The wrong type of player and as you say the cattle .... The game has changed Lawrie , JM , Macca type of bash and barge is only good near the line ..... The Manly forwards big young mobile players that can step and off load ...... Don't get me started on Norman enough is enough ..... then we come back to the only strike power player they have and can ball play Hook doesn't want for next year ...... So if Duff played tonight would we have lost by that score even with his mistakes ...... ? For me he gets picked on for every loss ...... Anyway as I have said before move Hunt to 9 and sign a good organizing 7 ....... On Sloan the kid is good will get better ......
So that is 3 out of 16 that have it going right. 13 others in the same boat?A proper game plan from the coaching staff and a team that can follow them may bring us success. Seems to work well for the storm, Penrith and South’s. A clean out starting at the Board down would most certainly
Re sign him. One of the best young props going around. Reminded me first time I saw him of a young Albert Young. So why are we lacking good go forward in your opinion? My opinion is lack of quality halves.Lawrie: Tries hard, tough & would be a much better player in some of the other teams with good go forward.
The difference is that it would have been "no try" if it was us. It just seems like we get very few of those 50/50 calls.I had no problem with the finger tip try, if it was our player you'd want it awarded. In fact I'm sure Nightie scored one in exactly the same manner not so long ago.
Sloan has the potential to be that player for us, but theres no Coopers or Gasniers coming through sadly.We don’t have a truly classy player, like Schuster or Turbo maybe Lomax, Sullivan and Sloan in a couple can be that guy but right now we just have a bunch of workhorses.
To many errors ATM and should of passed to Beale instead of dummying when he had the first opportunity before losing the ball in his first the tackleHe brought him in to the club and from what I have seen so far the guy is not a first grade anything.
James Schller at centre will make a good go at it.Sloan has the potential to be that player for us, but theres no Coopers or Gasniers coming through sadly.
Tough, yes but imo not even in the same league as Craig Young regarding ball skills. He may develop this but to date haven’t seen evidence of that part of his game to be comparable to Young.Re sign him. One of the best young props going around.

He should not be in the squad unless I have missed something in the time and chances he has had.He didn’t select Burns as a centre, he selected him on the bench. He replaced Wiliame due to injury.
