Skelton

[KiwiDog7]

One thing I liked is CC said it was a shame his family weren't there. Hopefully he scores in front of them next game he gets.

Bro I was riding him like the winner at Flemington when he made that awesome break!

Dont really think we need Taafe. He is rocks or diamonds as well. We can develop what we have.

fullback is the least of our problems we can easily have crighton, Wilson or Papalii to play there next year and beyond

Running big middle forwards our next spend surely.

Dogs coaches seem to lack the ability be able to teach defence to outside backs - whether it be Averillo Alamoti in previous years Reimis Smith now Skelton.

What do Melbourne do to be able to get Warbrick n Reimis Smith to be able to defend - get it done with Skelton - he has so much upside when running the ball but is a target defensively

I'm a bit surprised Skelton hasn't been used in the backrow in NSW Cup. We are probably still letting him transition to league in a more familiar role, but he could easily be a backrower. Could play on the edge, or I can even see him being a sort of slightly smaller version of Brad Clyde with the way he runs. The versatility would make him a great bench asset and allow us to play another 14 or an extra forward on the bench. I hope Ciraldo sees it the same cause I'd hate to lose him and our outside backs are pretty stacked next year. He'll end up a regular first grader somewhere.

I think CC is actually developing and shaping Skelton time will tell.

 

[TalDog]

dk where he fits in next season with xerri and crighton coming and Wilson ahead of him atm

Kiraz will make. Way for him

I had the whip out down the straight

It should he is a game breaker

 

[maroondog72]

We really need kids like him to kick on, hope he kills it going forward.

 

[Total Fool]

1 line break
3 tackle breaks
1 offload
3 runs for 48m
1 error

Give me them stats for 10mins worth of game time any day of the week!

Yes, the beast deserves his own thread.

Ugly first touch but made up for it in his second touch.

Not sure why CC gave Quai-Ward the nod ahead of him. Skelton should of started

Because he's allergic to moving Kiraz to the centres.

Kiraz is wasted on the wing IMO and Skelton is wasted in reserve grade.

 

[sgodllubsti]

i think he will turn into a top level player, made an error early, didnt sook about it, got straight back into his job, i like him

Gus?

Plainly Skelton is not ready for the NRL defence requirements and the Coaching staff are working hard on it with him. Starting with centre/wing and I suspect back rower eventually, but only when he has proven that he is ready.

Always a Bulldog

Gus sees him as a centre. Going into the year our centre stocks looked good but at this time and looking towards next year it's anything but that. I think wing will be his worst position out of the 3.

I think he's fine on the wing but would probably be a better centre. I'd personally have Kiraz/Burns @ centre and Wilson/Fox outside them.
