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

[spscand]

Good chance Salmon is better option i the halves than both Hutch and Sexton.

2 games in and Salmon can play anywhere he wants for me. Hes been classy, effective and composed. 2024 bulldogs player of year locked in from now.

 

[Chris Harding]

Not sold on Hutchison, I said in the game he was slow and clunky but not once he straightened the attack .

Although he did make a break which could have resulted in a try, and that was by straightening the attack.

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

He had a decent 20 minute run.

Fucking dipshit.

True, forgot about that with his stupid pass , should’ve held the ball.

We probably concede the least amount of points of any team this trial
I think that’s a massive tesult

I really do like him... The way he takes it upon himself to set the tone in defense at the beginning of games is great for culture building.

 

[Bob dog]

Bit of a wobbly start but for a supposedly small pack they stood up to them, looked heavy duty.

 

[Johnnny2233]

Tracey needs to be full back and sexton needs to be the half i don’t know why Ciro has gone Hutchinson he was sloppy and slow if that was sexton making that break he would’ve scored he is a lot faster and the game has began faster and faster

overall im happy with the defensive it was good very
Impressed

I’m sure the boys will have a solid defensive system in place and the names we have are big names these boys step up and they will kill it.

skelton aswell is a good option

hurchinson i cant see him in the 7 for long

 

[lovemachine]

Fucking dipshit.

Say it to my face. I bet you won't.

Sexton should of got more minutes

Yes fully agree, in my opinion Sexton is the more experienced of the two and the fastest of the two and looks fitter than Hutchinson and let's not forget he is a pretty good goal kicker as well., he also showed late last season that he is capable of putting the short kick in goal and is not afraid to put he's body on the line, I hope CC does not do another Perham experiment with our halves and just pick his pet players, he has to put the club above anything else, plus the name SEXton sounds better than HUTCHinson ( he should be playing for South Sydney Rabbits ) which leads me to a joke for you

I didn't realize Hutch was as slow as Lachlan Lewis.

 

[Tassie Devil]

Say it to my face. I bet you won't.

Fucking love it.

I bet he would tbh

Went to the game which most here can't say.
Gus looked very grumpy. He must wonder what the #### he has to do to get bums on seats.
A crowd of 6000 when us and Sharks are close to full strength, as our last hitout before the season was pitiful.
The positive was our D, which restricted Sharks minus 3 starters for 60 minutes at least, to 1 try. But much still to work on in D.
The negatives are numerous.
First, our linespeed in D was non existent. Sharks had good linespeed throughout the whole contest. Are we fit enough?
Our attack will develop but was mostly bog average. Sharks able to nullify most raids easily.
I'd suggest Taafe and Sexton as halves, try Tracey at FB, with Burton and Critta in centres. JAC and either Kiraz/Wilson on wings.
Taafe can ballplay and both he and Sexton like to run more than Burton. Burton can still position himself on LHS for kicks.
Concerned with our size. There were times last few years we looked like pygmies compared to many teams. If we have Mahoney, Hutch, Mann, Morrin, Sexton, Taffe all on the field at the same time we will get steamrolled. This is going to be an issue and it's on Gus with all the utilities.
Thought Curran and the WGD were strong and enthusiastic.
A 5/8 Burton is not. Xerri will take time to find his feet.
We were up for the game and my fear is we would of lost confidence in our attack from that performance. Jason Taylor and Mick Potter need to come up with something more, or change personnel in the key positions until something clicks.
Who's going to see us take on the Eels to start our campaign?

Which player impressed you the most and what did you make of Burtons involvement or lack of?

Fucking love it.

100% he won't for context I married my first cousin. That should say enough. Did you know I did UNI?
