News Crichton‘s encouraging act in Dogs debut as halves dilemma deepens: What we learned

[diddly]

There are options for halfback - whether they make a difference with the middles we have im not sure BUT apart from Sexton n Hutchison - Mann Salmon Tracey and Taafe all started in the halves.

 

[Scoobs]

Didn’t watch the whole game but the parts I saw was promising. Defense is there which is a welcomed relief

The defense was actually concerning. Watch the set immediately after sharks first try. They went 70m straight up the middle. A real worry

Stephan on the sideline was so CRINGE. This is not the NFL little buddy.

He had a decent 20 minute run.

What??? You serious, he was supporting his team mates as a good captain should.
100% another Nasheed account.

Did someone mention in another thread that Tracey can play halfback? Maybe that’s an option. Having said that, Taaffe was awful yesterday.

Taffy was bought as a hb according to Gus iirc and the club website has him listed as such. Him at 7 and Tracey at fb could work tbh.

Hutchinson can baby Burton better with talk etc it's as simple as that. So long as the club try to patch his ability in halves the more we will have to cop selections like this.

Lol wtf? Burton was the dominant half last night. He did heaps of attacking, off the cuff plays.

Trindall was poor as well. There won't be any panic or concern for the Sharks because they've been a top 8 team recently.

Ciraldo needs to stick to his guns and go through with his plan.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

I was going to ask that very question tbh .. didn't due to fear of verbal abuse by Salmon haters.

He has only looked good in the middle tbh as a poor man’s Yeo. I’d favour trying Taffy at hb over him any day. Sexton probably on par with Taffy though as halfbacks go.

I love Criitas attitude, hope it runs off on the rest of the team.

You’re a flog

Everyone complaining about Hutchison in attack. Is he better defensively than sexton?

Advocating for the coach here in that due to terrible defence last year if we can tighten our defence we should have enough strike power elsewhere to score enough points? Don’t think sexton was terrible defensively but this may be why Hutchison is in front.

Hutchinson is there to baby sit Burton, that's it imo. I don't see any real difference in there defence and I'm not sure why fans seem to rate Hutchinson as a good defender in the first place?

Footy IQ mentioned again as a reason for selection...... who was the last player CC talked up their footy IQ last year, from memory that went pretty shit too

I think hutch is the steadier of the two. I agree it’s to get to places on the field and follow the game plan. Shit that Burton can’t do

Yes, which is why I'm so harsh in Burton. We're picking an inferior player to accommodate him.

I hope MODS saw this post and ban him for baiting as he always does!

taaf is a half, tracey is a 5/8 and half as well i think

The mods are going to be playing whack-a-mole with the burner accounts. Every time a dud account gets shut down another one suspiciously pops up with the same rhetoric.

Imagine Crichton's leadership and talk at fullback....

Come on Ciro you know what to do! When fully fit he has to unleash Critta at FB.
