A half at 21 is very different to, say, a back rower at 21, NRL halves need NRL game time, their role in an NRL team is complex and takes time to learn. There are very good reasons why Gould set up the "Bulldogs Halves Academy" very early in his tenor.
I too believe he isn't there yet but it could happen with some fine tuning to his game.
Wilsons a winger and only a winger. There's much more to being a fullback than catching a ball.
Gutho was pretty good 4 years ago now running round on tired legs not for the dogs we should be chasing quality players
if hes so smart why the fuck is he collecting dust at parra? lol
Ron Massey for their final year would be my choice, Gus will keep them as depth even though they are at the bottom of most people's depth charts. Quite literally just place holders for a year until the juniors are ready.
I hope we get to see Tia and O'Neill as the NSW Cup halves. No point keeping those two if you are going to play them in Ron Massey Cup. They'd be better off going to the Super League
They are required for their experience, in the pre season, in the dressing rooms and during the games. Experience is our biggest missing piece, young team with a low number of NRL games. Having a few experienced players, used to NRL games week in week out, mentally and physically aware of what it takes and able to pass that on.
100% taffe is too unstable underneath the high ball.
Agree but one more year as mentors with the juniors in reggies would help them so much in the transition to NRL.
Sorry who is in talks with eels?
