Something on NBN about Bailey Starting??

[Pika]

Yeah, spoke with him today and said he was satisfied with the hit out.

How was his defence?

With the Cowboys match such a do or die gamr, Smithy had to pick his strongest team and drop players like Dureau and Ciraldo.

and Lulia.
No more picking players with development in mind - our best and most experienced 17 on the park is the go.
I don't know how Wicks is keeping White out.

Timmy - No miss tackles, did his bit. Nothing spectacular, it was his first game for some time! The old Timmy will be back with a few more hitouts. Unfortunately, they have another bye coming up after next weekend.

The Team needs more of the boys that played in the SG Ball & Jersey Flegg teams that won the premiership/made the grand finals a couple of years ago.

haha..actually fredrick..no..wasnt against it at all mate..was pumped to see Sau play..wish he was playng again!

just like having two kickers in the squad..2 GOOD kickers..and Baily isnt a 5/8..dont know what he is actually!!..hmm
He is good tho..dont get me wrong! Just thought Dureau was doing a sufficient effort!

If sufficient means missing the tackle against Warriors that gifted a try after he threw the intercept that Mullen chased 80 metres to shut down, and the 3 on 3 that he made into 3 on 2 after he missed Roberts against Dogs, well you be the judge.

Interesting that Scott signed a new contract recently, and that coach Smith was quoted last year as saying that Dureau was "happy to hang around with first grade footballers". Has Scott become a little comfortable after signing the new contract??

I think it's more he has stopped trying his guts out since he got the prize he was after.
He has had a big three months since really having to earn even a start in the reggies during the trials.
He will be back.

I didn't mention Lulia as he was dropped the week before.

As we both agree, the best and most experiemce players to be on the paddock each week. Players need to earn their first grade stripes and it is not based on potential. We need to be hard nosed to be competitive and not gift first grade positions.

Ciraldo is not a first grade player and everyone on this forum knows my opinion of Dureau

I think the plan might be for Bailey to target Thurston.

To be fair on Dureau he didn't miss Roberts. Roberts put the step on and tried to get on the outside of Dureau. Scotty stayed with him, but then Doogs came in to shut Roberts down, which opened up the space on the outside.
