If a decision is made to play Dufty at fullback (and the same goes for Jake at 7) I hope Barrett gives them time and doesn't chop and change like he did this year. Barrett might have been able to get away with changing the team around every week this year but I doubt it's going to be tolerated in 22 especially if it doesn't get results.
You're right, but if Dufty is falling for dummies to no one and continually being out of position and not defusing kicks then it's hard not to scrap him right there and then..
Especially in the spine. You can't change combinations every week and expect results from those players. He of all people should know that being a former half..
11 try assists this season in 15 matches. First match against us 2 try's, 12 tackle breaks and a line break.
like I said, I hope I am wrong
Me too lol
Mate, you can only move a turd so many spaces on a chess board.
Which Ben barba were u watching,great attacking weapon for both us and the sharks,but was targeted by every nrl club defensively,and he was real heart attack material under the highballs.
Scrap him for who ?
100% I will be shocked if Dufty is not given the 1 for at least the trials and the first 5 games to own it. I think Allen is more a chance at Centre or possible cover for Dufty.
Yep I have no idea where Jake will end up. He has the attributes to be a spine player but we chopped and changed fullbacks all year and he never had one chance there. Says to me the club don’t see him as a fullback.
JAC and Naden are the only other two options.
Ben Barba was hopeless in defence first season and it was worked on.
Dufty is 26 next season..
