The right move imo. Good time to take stock of what we have and see which young player can step up. I would like to see more to be blooded actually considering we are not playing for anything.

I agree mate would love to see doorey, topine, katoa, schuopp get a couple games under their belt don’t like seeing dwz dropped though
Yeah with you there I’m not sure that’s the right call. Unless he’s carrying an injury which has been effecting his form.

Is he another “hardworking” backrower i.e. no impact but is fit and can tackle?
All us experts will make up our own minds after he has been on the field for a bout 3 minutes! In one half early last year he looked dynamic and aggressive especially with the ball - all other games iv seen him - he pretty much "stayed in his lane". He seems a lot bigger this year, which is understandable with a full preseason training with fg - hopefully he hasnt lost mobility which is even more important now for edge forwards.

Looked massive the last time I saw him, like 110kg massive.

100% give the young blokes a chance in first grade. It also helps Barrett to see if they are the players that he needs. The season is done so we may as well test these guys out

Dwz has been terrible this year.he even admits it.if Canterbury cup was still being played I think he would have been dropped.cant play at fullback cause he can’t catch a bomb.

Surely no point blooding him if we're not going to keep him next year?

And DWZ needed to be rested tbh, doesn't look like he's 100% the last couple weeks and probably needs time to clear his head

Agree it will be good to see how Doorey goes but also to see if the Holland, Smith combination can reignite some magic on the edge. Looking forward to this game regardless of the result.

Iv seen Doorey play a fair bit - apart from one half in Flegg last year in which he was a stand out - i hardly noticed him. However people who know a lot more than me rate him highly.
His a hard running backrower... Bit like Elliot.

I read an update through the week that Montoya was struggling with a knee injury.
That would mean Remis Smith in to the starting side and possibly Doorey to the bench.
Hopefully he is the one we've been looking for..... "FINDING DOOREY"
