How the hell did Dunster get a top 30 spot?? He shouldn’t even be on the development squad.
Isn't that where he was playing for Wenty last game?
You’re right, the few games he played in reggies on the edge compared with the 16 games he played in the NRL in the middle is a better indicator of his position within our top 30 roster.
There just aren't that many edge forward minutes (160) in a game compared to middle forward minutes (240), especially considering most/all edge forwards can play 80 minutes. Gower wasn't required there this year, just as he probably won't be next year. But he's at least an option.
If it helps put RCG and Matterson in lineup I’m fine with it
He looks like he ready to sign with the Tahs with that get up.
That would suit him actually. Touch the ball a handful of times and defence is optional.
Fair point. Though that Schaafhausen bloke who played the last few games for Wenty last year looked more likely than Dunster and you’d have to think they’d both take minimum.
So you agree he’s more likely to be a middle forward for us than an edge forward. Glad we cleared that up.
An NRL-calibre kick (and chase) would expose Schaafhausen whereas Dunster is evidently safer.
It was never in dispute. Outside of the top two edge forwards in the club, all the others will likely only get first grade opportunities in the middle. This includes Gower, Niukore and Davey.
Then why in God’s name is Will Smith still on our books???
Backup halves are a special case though, because they need to be able to take some pressure off the main guy so they need some playmaking ability. Otherwise you'd just stick an extra edge forward or centre in there.
