Going to give this kid a wrap. Week in week out when he comes on he just runs hard and tackles even harder. Doesn't get many wraps but for mine he's consistently solid. Again today he tried his arse off!!!

Good call Cookie......Dale can tackle......Kasiano can't !!!

Spoke to the kid once he is a good honest footballer
Kasiano looks even bigger and slower then last year and gave me a laugh when he got benched after missing his third tackle to let a try in

Great young talent, hits like a freight train.

 

[finchie]

Very consistent young player.

This guy only knows one mode - GO HARD

 

[simooo]

Hope he stays a the dogs for many years. Consistent player with a great attitude it seems.

 

[Mallyboy]

No opinion as yet. I haven't seen enough of him to make a decision.

I would actually start with him at lock so he could do the defensive work in the first 20min. Let T-Rex come off the bench.

I think he should play the 80!

Dale's me boy. Love watching him go. See his missed missile last week against Knights? lol that could have been a game changed had it hit.

I have to agree with you two guys. They're both in first grade now but when I saw them in the U20s Dale Finucane played front row, second row and lock with Kasiano only a front rower. Even then the dye was cast Finucane hit it up hard and was always a tough defender whereas Kasiano, although he had size strength and ball skills aggression was never his big thing. Nothing has changed except that now, Sam drops the ball more.

Top game by Finucane. Strong hit ups and defence. Looks the most likely at getting an offload away. His offload to Graham in the second half led to the Barba try. He is getting better than Jackson IMO.

Different kind of player to josh, I think dale is more likely to break a game open with a huge hit or late offload where josh is just tireless and very consistent.

We're blessed to have two young guys of their calibre and talent in our squad, both guys are future stars IMO.

 

[Bakes]

Great offload that led to an awesome Dogs try last night

 

[cookieman909]

How good is this kid! Great offload ability, backs himself, even in golden point he offloaded. Great talent. Will be an origin players in 1-2 years!

Still has Ben Craegh in front of him for that origin spot. Fuck that girl was the biggest origin flop!

 

[Bulldog_NJ]

He's definitely overtaken Josh Jackson. Toughness and ability in spades! He's got a massive future.

This kid won't be anywhere other than FG for the next 10 years. Made of the right stuff that's for sure/
