Rumour Dufty has signed

[EzyB]

Yes. Read my latest comment

Honestly our defence is shit, either way what the harm in us scoring some points?

By saying that you're proving my point of accepting mediocrity

No harm. But our defence will get even shitter

@Tassie Devil keeps raving about it, telling me it's the 8th wonder of the world???

Is this not true??

Something like that sherbet Bill would trip on in the Goodies...

It’s not mediocre the whole point of the game is to score more points than the other team,
with Duffty we have more of a chance to win.
You telling me dragons have never won games on the back of Duffty?

No it won’t people are just speculating.
With the right signings next year will be better.

Maybe 1 or 2 every year.

Yes you need to score more points to win, but do you sign him now for 3 years or do you wait a year and have a shot at someone 10 times better?

I was one of the people happy with the Allan signing. He's been exposed behind our shit pack. Imagine Dufty behind a pack that makes never dominates and a team that can't defend

The Allan signing was a panic signing. We expected Burton to be here, Baz wanted Jake to play fullback, etc. Nothing went to plan so we picked up Allan when he became available to fill a hole in the roster.

Allan imo does not suit the system Baz wants to play. Allan is good at making the extra number sweeping around the back and throwing the final ball to the winger/centre, yet Baz had him playing up in the line down short sides or occasionally 2nd receiver to Flanagan further in field. He didn't play him to his strengths and he looked fucking useless.

Yes Barrett's coaching is a problem atm. But in a team that leaks the most points in the comp, having one of the worst defensive fullbacks is not going to help

Don't know if Duffy is the right signing or not, but we put one of the best defensive fullbacks in there will it change our fortunes? Who's to say we'd score any points? Maybe he'd save us some but we still need to score.

Don't know. Think it's about the balance and looking for upgrades. He's clearly an upgrade based on the attacking side if things. Defensively we can't be much worse than we have been, can we?

That's why you add apparently if you are just passing on info you have heard.

But some bitches don't know what apparently means.

Apparently not [emoji1787]

The goodies.... I vaguely remember them riding a three seat bike and that's about it.

 

[Dogmonster]

People rave about Charlie Staines being a future fullback, he is way worse than Dufty.

 

[wendog33]

Well I wasn’t lol, but after the SJ rumours.. I have learnt my lesson Wendy

Yeah I know. Feel the same way. We're in quicksand and we can't get out of it..the hole seems to get bigger lol

Get him now and for next year, if he’s shit no need to resign him after that, I think his a good gamble.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

I understand where your coming from Wife’s a dragon. [emoji23] Supporter. I watch all their games and he’s hit and miss at times. He has been one their best “for most” of this year though. He knows he’s got plenty to work on, if he ends up bad he’ll be a decent back up.

Unlucky. I just don't rate him in the least. He's like 26 now? Still has the exact same issues he had years ago as a teenager and only developed more bad habits. We need to be recruiting players that solve issues within the squad and Dufty is simply not that guy.

 

[Moedogg]

A bit off topic but why did the Roosters let go of Rod Silva?

That & Monkey made up many afternoons after school..

We need a fullback that can do both and I'd much rather wait a year for the right person then make another shit signing

 

[kmr07]

Disagree. I’ve seen him play enough to realize his defence is shit. Someone posted an article before showing the reasons and stats why the dragons don’t want him. Have a read and you’ll see where I’m coming from

I doubt any young player would take a 1 year contract these days. He would be looking at a 3 year plus contract
