Half the players in the NRL have kids..... he's a professional. If that is the case then he needs to figure out how to do both like every other working parent on the planet. I just don't think he handles the pressure of being an NRL half. The dogs need to figure out how to use him properly quickly. He didn't kick much last night and Hutcho had a shit night with the boot, accuracy was fucked.Yes but if she isn’t coping then that’s where it gets in his head. All speculation of course it could be far from the truth but I’ve seen guys I work with literally do a 180 when they have their first, late to work, sleep deprived, pressure from wife to be at home etc etc. Then it shows in their work that there head isn’t there. He isn’t close to family either I’m assuming.
Like I said could be far from truth, isn’t really like he’s going to come out and publicly admit if it was anyway.
to be honest I think burto just wanted to run the motions and see drew run the game which a half should do. He did some nice runs to try and step etc. I think will come good. His defence was definitely improved with the whole team.He’s a complete introvert, hed be better being told what to do as opposed to barking orders. Sexton and hurchinson made us look like proper nrl standard. I don’t remember the last time I saw a backline from a bulldogs side run those second man plays
Too early for a pile on but I am expecting to see more from him. Bring on the sharksThe Burton pile on is hilarious. The guy had a good game. For those complaining about his kicking, every kick he took was from around or near the half way mark and bombing is obviously the tactic to give us a chance to close in on the winger/fullback and limit the kick return. His passing was slick and accurate, he ran the ball when the opportunity was there, his defense and effort were very good. I don't understand the hate.
He is having to put in a lot of effort to stay on the ground when he runs due to the weird gravity of the flat earthOnly time he looks like a FGer is when he runs....and he still doesn't fkn run.
Relax about what? I am relaxed, very good signs from the pups, only negatives are Knight is putrid and Burton still hasn't shown any improvement apart from goal kicking.He didn't do much in the first half. His kicking game was average again. At least his defence was better..
Still, you'd think we lost by 30. We played well and won the trial well. Relax.
Saw him a bit at souths doesn’t stand out can be strong in defence but just does dumb shit and his hands can let him down badly.
At least he is off contract this year. We won't have to (hopefully) put up with him for much longer.I don't rate Knight at all so I never paid attention to him, but does he suck that much all the time?
He was good when he had that one run, only time he threatened.After reading all the negative comments I expected him to have a bad game, then I watched the replay and he was good without being spectacular, 2 of his bombs were not deep enough but everything else was fine. I expected from the comments to see a Liam knight like performance. Also was gassed after the break away not try but it’s trial #1.
His best game was under potter vs the eels, needs to go back and start having more fun that might ignite something in him.I think it’s the other way around, tbh. We are making him look worse.
Looked pretty good under Potter,
Gos confidence is shot. Might well come good if the other boys around him continue to play well.
In before half a dozen keyboard warriors call me a troll for stating an opinion.
