Opinion Skelton

[Berries]

That's a shame

Think it was 6 months lol

We better make a move on him soon. Gagai just knocked back the Roosters and they are cashed up and in the hunt for a few decent backs.

I just seen this bloke ran 300 metres in NSW cup, every time i see the cup, hes huge for us on a wing, is his defence that bad he doesnt deserve a shot? I know we are stacked currently for wingers but this guy is damaging, feels wrong him still being in cup

He is lazy in defence.
Has concentration issues and drops balls.
His run meters wouldn't be that good at nrl level against nrl players who actually can tackle.
I agree, he is too good for nsw cup.
But he isn't good enough for nrl.
Not right at the moment.
Cc knows this, and is working on him to get there
He will see nrl when the time is right

Skelton would be better of signing elsewhere. CC won't pick him ahead of Wilson and the Dogs have done nothing to develop him as a forward. He is too good for NSW Cup.

Skelton could be our "Brian To'o" style winger making 200 metres per game, and would be even harder than To'o to stop close to the tryline

He really is becoming too good for NSW Cup and I hope he stays with us and gets his chance

Addo Carr is now 28?? and he is starting to lose pace each year, and with all due respect, without his pace he doesn't have much else.

JAC at the moment is a luxury at the end of a good backline, but with Skelton you get a real asset to the team in go forward. I don't know if all the talk about his defence is true, but surely he can be coached to become a solid defender

I think a big decision will be coming up whether to re-sign JAC, or not re-sign him and open the spot up for Skelton

Sell JAC and keep Skelton. If defence is Skelton's weakness he cannot be worse than JAC. With JAC gone we don't need to put up with his whiney grimaces and feigned injury every time he touches the ball or misses a tackle.

I also don't like that the guys on the bloke in a bar podcast bring up his stats everyweek... we need him to fly under the radar until CC is ready to get him into FG

 

[chemdog]

won't be at the dogs next year sadly

Rooster bound

[Roger the alien]

He's too good to be playing reserves every week

Fkn called it last week....

This shit night just got worse.

 

[Reecek89]

Possibly with immediate effect according to a roosters mate on those groups

 

[The DoggFather]

Watch him be a beast.

"Special project" my arse...

Good, I hope he kills it to embarrass a few people.

should of kept him instead of Wilson

 

[The DoggFather]

should of kept him instead of Wilson

Or try him in the forwards at least....

 

[Roger the alien]

Big mistake imo, soon we'll need to replace Jac and I don't understand the fascination with Wilson, personally I think Skelton is the much better player
