I dont really care if he is not a defensive machine. We signed him for his attack.I'll be good if I get what I want and I don't like tackling very much!

NRL players are our modern day gladiators while we sit safe in our seats they put their heads where we would not put our feet. I guess this adds to why some seem to be a little strange at times.Bloke seems like a moron
Hopefully this off-season if the Dogs Coaching staff are worth anything.True. But Dufty is in his 5th season. When will it be worked on?
Ahh, sorry hard to pick up on sarcasm in text sometimes.That was my point. was being sarcastic, Barba didn’t even try and tackle guys just let them past.

Apparently he is a massive douche bag! I have a friend who played under him at the broncos and he despises him! Said he is a complete fuckwit. So im not surprised he puts players noses out of joint.Good old Frothfield, loves to print stuff about the dogs, I suppose more people read that then articles about the sharks.
I don't rate Griffin at all these days, let's just see how Dufty goes next year.
I think his constant changes were brought about by a complete lack of success. If we start winning next year there will be no need to chop and change all the time.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.
Serious question, in your entire life, have you ever wokn up in the morning and thought to yourself, today is going to be a great day???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..
Thats not the point whatsoever. You need to coach players to their strengths. Duftys strength is his off the cuff creativity. Griffen tried to coach it out of him. Who would want to listen to that??Thought main point here is hes not taking instructions if he doesnt like them.
I cant recall Dufty ever being at the Broncos.I dont really care if he is not a defensive machine. We signed him for his attack.

Yep it’s a tough one. You can’t keep picking the same players if they are not producing the goods. Flanno had the first 9 games to cement his spot and he couldn’t.I think his constant changes were brought about by a complete lack of success.

I said "welcome to the club weber" in another thread. I think its a very fitting nickname. LolIs this another Vaughan BBQ reference?
Always a Bulldog.
Our whole squad is a massive improvement on this year, so im expecting Baz will stick solid.Yep it’s a tough one. You can’t keep picking the same players if they are not producing the goods. Flanno had the first 9 games to cement his spot and he couldn’t.
It’s very very rare anyone is 100% percent in every aspect of their position. I think dufty will be good for us and hopefully he’s working on getting better.Everyone just needs to read this and realise Nado is a better idea for us at FBThe six reasons the Dragons don’t want Matt Dufty
Few can understand why the Dragons don’t want to keep Matt Dufty. This detailed analysis shows weaknesses of the No.1 that contributed to the decision.www.google.com
I'm not doing anything other than being realistic. He has ability but he also has a stack of flaws and people thinking he's going to magically eradicate these flaws midway through his career are being ridiculous. He's going to drop bombs, even fail to contest them and TK is going to have a meltdown...and that's only one of many flaws.
Watched his highlights reel after reading your comment, wow, if we get our attack firing and in sync he's a great finisher! and his speed is awesome!!Our attack this and previous years has been utter garbage. I get excited looking at Matt Duftys highlights reel. With the ball in hand he is an attacking weapon. Scoring trys from one end of the field to the other. I'm sure Trent and Gus can help fix his other faults. But you can't coach speed. Which he and our new recruits have. Matt, I hope you score 20 plus tries this year and a hattrick against St George just to rub it in! Good luck, and welcome to the our club!
