It's his defence. He's pretty good running the ball. Although he's quite mobile for a big lad, his best work was probably running it straight, which means playing 8 or 10. Despite his size he struggles with his defence in these positions. Understandable given what you come up against in that position week in week out, it's not for everyone.He didn’t look too bad a few years ago
not sure what went wrong
poor coaching and support?
poor game plans ?
poor personal effort ?
or was actually overrated ?
or combination
Yes, I thought so as well. We really need 2 to 3 very good forwards ( under 28 ! ) so to replace plodders with plodders would be very disappointing.The issue we have is the younger brigade forwards are obviously taking time to develop or show if they can make it.This from the Ben Hunt announcement gives us some hope I suppose!!
Additional signings as well as the club's 2023 train and triallists will be announced in the coming weeks, ahead of mid-November's pre-season commencement.

Why wouldn't he , Hunt and Hook should have come out and said with Hunt signing Bud and him would be rotating between 7 and 9 , but that ain't happening with the signing of the 9 from Tigers and Macca staying on ......SMH reporting Sullivan seeking an immediate release following Hunt’s contract extension
i hope they decline and work with him to take over the 7, pushing Hunt to 9. Hunt is a SOO and Australian 9, let’s get him playing there and get our attack on the front foot.SMH reporting Sullivan seeking an immediate release following Hunt’s contract extension
Seems the Dogs have him earmarked as Burton’s halves partner for the long term.i hope they decline and work with him to take over the 7, pushing Hunt to 9. Hunt is a SOO and Australian 9, let’s get him playing there and get our attack on the front foot.
...more wooden spoon rejects to come and keep Liddle company.Additional signings
Spot on Illusion. Blind freddie can see retaining Hunt is the worst decision for the future of some of our best juniors. Hoping Sloan does not follow his mate out the door now as his future is also up in the air..Why wouldn't he , Hunt and Hook should have come out and said with Hunt signing Bud and him would be rotating between 7 and 9 , but that ain't happening with the signing of the 9 from Tigers and Macca staying on ......

You speaking of Coric, Couchman, Shereb as 'the younger brigade' If so the only way we will find out if they are up to scratch is by giving them a run in Firsts. At least give them development contracts and a crack in pre season matches.he issue we have is the younger brigade forwards are obviously taking time to develop or show if they can make it.
Good. If they ask, let them go. I don't want snot nose whiny little entitled brats in the red V.....f#ck em. Let them cry and dummy spit at another club while they try to prove themselves. Both have not shown anything to say they are 1st grade ready.Dragons now in a bigger hole ...
If they were to grant Sully a release Sloan will be hot on his heels out the door as well
The Brisbane Mafia appear to be white anting our juniors
Congratulations on possibly the stupidest post so far. Sure didn't take long! There's so much I could say but you don't warrant wasting my time.Good. If they ask, let them go.

So Mr Young has come out and said for Sullivan to bide his time behind Hunt for the next 3 years ( so it's obvious that Hunt won't go to 9 with the signing of Liddle) If it was to share 9 and 7 then ok , but it's not .....Congratulations on possibly the stupidest post so far.

Fine with me, your opinion means nothing to me anyway. You probably wanted to keep Dufty too. Why anyone would want to keep entitled brats not willing to stay and challenge for their place in the team is beyond me.Congratulations on possibly the stupidest post so far. Sure didn't take long!
