Opinion Did Dogs fans boo Hutchison

[KLil]

They didnt boo, they cheered when he came off..

TBH it was a bunch of kids and morons who dont understand a thing about footy that did it.

People who know a thing or two realise thats its Hutchison's footy IQ, organisational and leadership skills which have helped grow the team to where it is today compared to last year.

Just to add, watched him defend for a while on the line the other day.. The guy directs the defensive line and reads the game REALLY WELL. He literally reads which way the hooker is going and ensures the team knows it by yelling and signaling.

Sharpest tool in the shed, just has a loose fcuking handle.

There was cheers when he was taken off, not boos. I voiced my frustration when he tried the slow n go for the 19th time (exaggerated by a little)

 

[dogwhisperer]

Why would anyone want to boo Hutch? The guy was sprinting off his line in defense and putting hits on the knights when they were pegged inside their own 20m zone. One thing is sure, he’s not zippy but he is tough and fits in well with what we are trying to do.

 

[CeeEss]

He wasn’t boo’d, however there were some cheers when he was replaced.

This. There was a loud cheer from the Kennel area when it was announced he was being replaced. It could be interpreted as a cheer for Taffe but it appeared to be more of a reaction to Hutchinson being replaced.

Or Maybe

The crowd cheered Hutchinson for the effort he put in.

And

The crowd cheered Taafe for making a comeback after being knocked out 2 weeks back.

I didn’t hear booing at the game?

I booed the REF (from my couch) when he kept giving away 4th and 5th tackle restarts to the opposition. He tried to get the Knights back into the game.

 

[sifter6]

I didn’t hear booing, only cheering when they announced the change.

There were a few groans and sighs every time he got tackled on the 4th though, which seemed to get a little louder each time it happened.

It did happen a LOT! Modern day Tolman.

Bronx cheer

 

[John Matrix]

They want to take away our win, make us look bad because we are coming back and no one likes it.

I’m sure buzz played a part in this.

 

[Menteek]

I was in the kennel but bay 111

for people that don’t know bay 110 in Accor is the kennel and bay 111 is also the kennel however it’s less packed there, I did hear some booing which was stupid… I told everyone I was next to, his such a great defender and reason we didn’t concede many tries with hutch there.

even burto is defending amazing now.

I'm a Hutch fan. I'd compare him to Adam Perry at hooker, nothing flash but goes out there to do the job instructed by the coach.

I've read a few reports now that on Sunday some of our fans booed Hutchison. If true it's a really bad look. I want him out of the team as much as anyone but that's going a bit too far. It's not like he's not trying. It's not his fault if Ciraldo keeps choosing him. How disappointing would it be trying your best and having your own fans turn on you.

I presume it happened when he came off the field. Can anyone who was there confirm and say how bad it was and the numbers involved ?

I also read when we scored the last try (largely due to Taaffe who replaced Hutcho) that Hutcho was the only one on the bench who failed to stand and cheer. IF that's true I think that's poor on his part too.

Yeah that is a bit harsh if true. He mightn't have set the comp on fire,but he doesn't deserve to be booed . . . Unlike Topine. Who should be booed whenever he leaves the house for suing the club

And

There was a bit of everything tbh.. but u couldn't help the murmers in thr crowd " couldn't believe I'm cheering a player for getting off "

Mind you these guys had no idea what was going on, clapping every fart and booing every ref call even if it was right.

 

[Dogs Of War]

I think it’s short sighted to boo him. Whilst Taaffe contributed to a try, did he not also lead to letting one in with best’s try? Hutchison might not be the flashiest player but he gets the fundamentals done and is probably our best defensive halfback in the squad. We have enough strike in our backline that we don’t really need a flash halfback. The combinations will improve over time if he gets a chance. I think this is a what Ciraldo is hoping to achieve.

I just think all the love for Taaffe at halfback is a bit premature based off 10mins against tiring defence when we were up by 20+

Would rather see Taaffe play 7 in nsw cup for a few games if this change was being considered

I think it's been said enough that Hutch talks on the field while Burton is still too quiet. Hutch is there to teach Burton what to do, and hopefully at some point he won't be necessary.

Don't insult Perry by comparing Hutchison to him. Hutchison is the worst starting halfback in the NRL. Perry didn't stiffle our attack.

 

[D.O.W.]

Could have been booing or jeers for inside the 10? Watching the game on tv there was a hint of a boo upon Hutch being tackled but that could have been for anything, not necessarily at Hutch.

No one wearing our colours should be booed in isolation.

Conversely, if the entire team is getting lapped by 40 at halftime and there’a a clear lack thereof effort shown, no issue booing the team, players of all teams owe it to their fans to put in the effort at a minimum.

 

[Moedogg]

Don't insult Perry by comparing Hutchison to him. Hutchison is the worst starting halfback in the NRL. Perry didn't stiffle our attack.

I'm simple comparing the roles. Perry tackled his ass off and Corey Hughes came on with a bit of creativity around the ruck.

On a side note Perry must've been on the Taro, those tree trunks for legs. Man he was stocky.

 

[Bob dog]

Not the first choice half anymore but probably the best utility, still reliable.
