Rumour Dufty in talks with the Bulldogs

[Cappuccino]

Cmon guys this flog has just read an article and made up some rubbish
If dufty plays 9 lewis should be at 8

Utai backup hooker off the bench

StGeorge have been trying to off load Dufty for 2 years. He was unpopular with his team mates and McGregor and has since made himself similarly unpopular with Griffin. This is despite, if I remember rightly, him being the only StGeorge junior playing for them. I haven't been able to find out exactly why, aside from being "difficult", whatever that means.

Go Dogs

If we can get rid of DWZ and don’t resign hoppa, this makes complete sense

Not to mention are stacked with outside backs for next year so from a cap point of view it makes no sense whatsoever.

We need a hooker plus decent forwards.

And when I say hooker I am completely ignoring the stupid rumour about him being looked at as a hooker

 

[Malla]

Lol what shit journalism

Why? All this means is meany won’t be resign.

 

[c-b-b]

I can't see how we can spend any more money in the backs next season. Hooker and forwards otherwise we're going to end up in another cap mess and repeat this year.

The way the game is right now, dufty will be up there at hooker. You need speed. The six again rule is valuable right now.

Dufty been playing FB for probably around 15 years, and now at 25 Trent wants to turn him into a hooker.

Ok Trent

Dogs played Issac Luke and Damien Cook at Fullback. Luke only played hooker once he left the Dogs, Cook got a small chance at Hooker, but had Ennis in front of him.

I'm happy for us to roll the dice that way. Especially as others have pointed out with the speed of the game now. Really just depends on how he reads play, cause that's what will make or break him in the middle. Not as worried about his defence, as he will have assistance around him.

Just ensure it's not that great money. 2 year contract. Say 350K a season. Worst case he just goes into the Bulldogs fullback rotation policy. That said., I'd prefer to gamble throwing money at Tyson Smoothy if we ain't getting the cheese. He won't cost anywhere near 350K. Once again a 2 year contract and see how that plays out. He has been going well in his game time at the Storm.

 

[bradyk]

This isn't a rumour

 

[B-Train]

We've been linked to half the players in the comp. Take it all with a grain of salt..

 

[Brendan7]

Better than spending half a mil on Allen who is utter rubbish

 

[Mr Shhh]

This might be the most unpopular post on here, but the way the game is going with it's pace, quick play the balls and the 6 again rule then thinking outside the square might be what some coaches need to do, especially the struggling clubs like ours. I reckon Dufty would be a revelation at 9.

Can’t be any worse than the garbage we have now.

Trent Barrett wants to turn dufty into a Hooker, if he doesn't get brendan smith.

Where will Matt Dufty be playing in 2022?

St George Illawarra Dragons fullback Matt Dufty has been told he is no longer wanted by the club, and now looks set to move on at the end of 2021.

If we can get him for 300 - 350K why not. Yes let Meaney walk at end of season if we get Dufty and let DWZ walk the following season. Dufty is only 25. Better option at fullback than Allan, DWZ, Meaney, Hopa and Averillo. I still have serious doubt Averillo would handle getting belted while catching bombs or making tough carries.

Obviously the Dogs havent got a clue.....

We are where we are at, because we have incompetent people in the back room along with delusional fans calling in players on 100's of thousands of dollars to trial them in positions where they have never played at.

Getting far with experimental guinea pigs

Cook/Dufty
88kg/83kg (weight)
5'11"/5'10" (height)
29yrs/25yrs (age)
46pg/4pg (tackles made)
2pg/0.9pg (missed tackles)
19/33 (tackle breaks)
0.64pg/1.3pg (errors)
1/8 (tries)
2/5 (try assists)
87/139 (runs)
710m/1465m (run metres)
85m/286m (post contact metres)

ZT 2021 stats for Cook and Dufty (as an example). What does it mean? Probably nothing since they play completely different positions, but he'd have to put some bulk on and get used to 10 times the tackling.

Funny enough you compared him to Cook...
Did you know Cook was regarded as a Fullback / Halfback / Hooker and his defence wasn't much better ?
Dufty has something that can't be taught...SPEED to burn !!!

 

[Apercots]

I don’t think defence is as big a deal for a hooker nowadays, could be a genius move

 

[KLil]

About fcuking time..

Dufty
Jac
Naden
Cotric
DWZ
Avo
Burton

Allen
Okunbor

Finals backline.

 

[Vlasnik]

Dufty at hooker, Meaney at halfback and Ogden at fullback and we'd be unstoppable. I hope Tbaz reads this...

That's one way of getting a win.....confuse the fuck out of the competition
