I do think CC has a major flaw in giving players extended opportunities if they have the right attitude but maybe not enough talent. Taye blocking up Cup is a prime example preventing the progress of Dykes and Puru.
 
So first Breynton gets messed around, and chooses to rightfully leave. Now Puru getting the same treatment.
Both young gun fullbacks with so much talent, I guess way too much talent & flair to ever fit into the ‘Bulldogs’ way of playing which is to be slow, boring & worst at your position in the comp!

Anyone know why Dykes isnt at FB and persisting with Cochrane who isnt good at all?

I guess its because he isn't doing the 1 percenters in the game/training.

Just as a side note Zyon has improved alot this year, maybe be worth extending after all. Matamua and Toilalo are also providing a lot of punch off the bench. They are more the type of forwards CC would want at 13 with a bit of ball playing skill. Hopefully they can keep going well and put some pressure on Salmon. Despite the nay sayers on here for this time of year with all the injuries every club is going through that is a very strong cup side. Our depth in the Forwards and even halves is now really good. Just need one of these guys to step up like Hayes (maybe AJ) and we need a more dynamic fullback and 9. Basically 1 or 2 key signings away from what we all want a premiership and maybe even a dynasty.

Imo Zyon has improved with the running game but his defence is still sus. Still turns his back, still half a step behind when reacting.

Nowhere this week unless there’s a late change or he’s injured/suspended and we just don’t know.
 
I honestly think Cochrane might end up being a good fullback . He has the ability just needs to work on a few things and get more involved

Is Jack Todd alive? His concussion was supposed to sideline him for 2 maybe 3 matches. Weirdest situation

Poor bugger…. He showed he definitely belonged in 1st grade with his limited showing!

He ran into holes, unlike some of the plodders we have currently in 1st grade who run straight at opposing players

Last I heard he was “back soon” a few weeks ago. Zero update from the club recently.

With the millions the dogs spend on the coaching staff/fitness/etc that they would have someone in the club put out a release to keep the fans in the loop weekly on who’s injured & when they are due back like every other clubs does except us!

Same goes for new player signings!

Waiting for Gus to inform the people, there aren’t many that would believe anything Gus says anymore
