I was a fan of the Dufty signing and still think he is the type of fullback our club needs with lack of creativity at 6,7 and 9.
But we simply don't create enough opportunities and field position to bring his skills into the game. In fact, by spending too much time defending within our own half, we bring his defensive issues to the fore.
No harm done. So far this year has proved that we need a ball playing fullback otherwise we cannot find points.
Hope this opens up the eyes of Gus and coaches to either select someone with those skills in lower grades or go out and find a replacement that fits the bill.
Going forward, we can test Toia or Casey or even JAC. We can do it by throwing them in from the get go, or play Dufty and interchange them. Dufty may as well haveca crack at HB and prove how shit Flanno is
