Dogs predicted R1 lineup

[Blue&whiteAxe]

I agree u dont bring a backrower in on 700 000 a season to drink water and watch.

Surely we didn’t pay him $700k a season? We could’ve brough 5 Chris Smith’s.

Pay must think Jacko is more valuable on the edge and he has been threatening of late, gained a yard of speed and his ball playing improved. Elliot has that work ethic and passion Dean fancies.

I personally have always thought Jackson has the attributes to be a really great lock and would like to see him there in the future, but right now he is also our best second rower.

It's a tasty thought though KLil I must admit. I would be very happy with this too:
11. CHN
12. RFM
13. Jackson

Any supporter, regardless of which team they follow would love that.

Your right when you say his gained speed and his ball control is phenomenal these days and how about kicking?? But here's one more to do your head in. Imagine Jacko's speed and skill through the middle instead of Elliot's erratic bumbling hands and CHN/RFM own the edges? Not to mention how tight it would become in the middle...

11. CHN
12. RFM
13. JJ interchange for a short stint with Elliot who ain't the best under fatigue anyway.


No brainer.


Then again its a rebuilding year anyway... Damn Off season is a killer lol

Yeah that back row has me pumped tbh. A great trio.

Find it very hard to believe CHN is on anywhere close to 700. He was probably on very little at Penrith and with him getting the security of a 4 year deal we would have got a better price overall. I’d be surprised if he is on more than 300.

$700k??....LOL!

 

[speedy2460]

CHN can defend and If you didn't notice RFM played next to Foran in the trial for D. Did ok too which surprised me but I think its was mainly because he wanted to prove he wanted his spot, Hope the guy don't get complacent once he gets it.

As well if you sure up the middle even more with JJ there it saves your line from getting bent which means there is less stress on your outside backs to move in.
That means much easier to defend against shift plays for this vulnerable backline.

I think the key words in your post is "vulnerable backline". Thats why JJ must play out wide.

 

[Fingal Bay]

Most on here pick RFM, I wouldn't have him in the team, runs around like a chook with its head cut off. Martin has to be in the team, if only for his goal-kicking. Also Chris Smith should at least be on the bench, runs good angles. Ogden is our future, but I don't know about Elliott. We will surprise a lot of people this year.

You quickly forgot what happened last yr didn't you.. we got bent like bandaids and our outside men got owned.

I really don't think we lose that much with chn takin over Jacko but gain plenty with Jacko in the middle..

Imagine we had a lock like trbovic.. oh fcuk we do but we play him out wide!

Ridic.

700k for Chn....
Get off the crack son
Be lucky to be on half that

On a positive note, I'm backing Holland to be one of the top centers in 2019

Why put a mobile player in the middle where traffic is heavy and not much space? Hes not that big either and he would have to make more tackles against big men in the middle.

Jacko is probably in the top 5 best tacklers in the game and your worried about his defence? If anything his speed and skill in the middle against bigger bodies is another string to our bow. CHN and RFM well do enough damage for us on the edges... not to worry.

My logic is this, why not run with the most balanced backrow you have on offer for 1 player who would do excellent in his "not" preferred position.


I know I don't want him to burn out either but its hard to go past that back row..

Yes i think he will have his best season this year, glad his with the dogs.

Standard Warriors fade out today in their trial... hope to see the same in round 1

I'd be pretty concerned if I was a Tigers fan... sure it's only a trial, but with the bulk of a first grade team, they looked like absolute shite

They did look like crap the tigers. Had nothing in attack very ordinary. Moses just as ordinary.
