Kris Keating - 2013 Discussion Thread

[wigum]

General discussion on match form, selection, injuries, contracts, and anything else here.

 

[doggie-style]

Heart and soul of the bulldogs team

 

[Trendsetter]

Take his picture off. His face and hair makes my eyes sad.

 

[The DoggFather]

Just as in 2012, he is a dud in 2013

 

[Breeding pups]

needs to retire ASAP

 

[Tegga]

Hoping there won't be a keating 2014 thread

 

[Stringer]

Ha Ha, Wow nothing but love in this thread.

Your our halfback for at least half the season whether we like it or not. If there is one game you want Keating to set his hair on fire is VS Manly and Roosters. Execution needs him to Step-up and also increase percentage play.

Please don't make this a bashing thread, atleast Keating has done his best and puts in as much as he can. He also has actually donned the Great Blue and White jersey while most of you guys who bash on him have come no way near to donning it or playing for our beloved club. The dude is trying his best thats all we can expect from a player on our team!

I thought he had one of his better games. But that is not saying much. He is not creative. Any other half in the comp would have gotten us repeat sets of assisted in tries in the second half. All we did was hit it up 20 out or runs from dummy half.

His passing game is weak, he did have a few decent kicks today (booted one that went 60+ meters and found open space). It was one of his better games but still failed very badly against his opposite number.

I would have him just infront of Ben Roberts as one of the worst players in the comp. He is not cut out as a halfback. Hooker or 5/8 maybe. But doesnt have the vision to lead the team around and organise the attack.

At one stage we had an overlap on the left but instead of passing decided to run. Got close but with a pass might have been over.

Firstly, I am not a fan of Keating being a 7, I believe he can be a good 6 when partnered with a good 7.

But i think he played well today considering there was no go forward not allowing him to play his game, As soon as we get Kas and Jamma back he will be alot better.

 

[BaYry Ward]

He can't throw a fcking pass. Throws behind the player, above the player, anywhere but the chest. He's a momentum killer. Now being more exposed due to our passing forwards not being there.

STILL on the Keating family and Kris must be wondering what he's done wrong to not be rushed straight back into first grade with the Bulldogs this weekend.


Keating missed Canterbury's 38-0 drubbing to the Roosters with a shin injury, and we're reliably told he recovered and trained at halfback early this week. But on Tuesday he was told to wait another round, with Trent Hodkinson to remain at No.7.


Like his struggling teammates, Keating has not set the world on fire this season. Yet surely his effort to guide Canterbury to last year's grand final deserves more recognition. The Bulldogs maintain he's still injured, but sources close to Keating say otherwise.

Looks like we've seen the last of keating in the No:7 unless Hodko gets injured. I know Hodko has the potential to be a better half than KK but im worried we risk losing more games trying to experiment with Hodko and waiting for him to click. KK already knows the drill and he played a part in last years winning run, His game and many others have been affected due to the absence of Graham and Kasiano and when those two return I reckon we can recapture last years form. Why change a winning plan?
