News NRL: Asiata can play major role in Bulldogs resurgence

[CanterburybankstownBD]

At full fitness he Should be the starting 13 for me
Perfect for today’s game where the 13 needs to actually have ball playing skills and sleight of hand

He can play prop too, I can't really remember much about the way he plays but a ball playing forward who can also play prop sounds pretty impressive. Hope he stays fit

 

[2ndphase]

If he's fit he will be massive for us.

 

[halfcast]

always rated him..a bit of a dmyock

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Don’t mind him at all. Very versatile player with skill.

 

[PaulS]

Asiata is Like modern day Jim Dymock. A ball playing very skilful 13 in a props body but can play 7 easy.

At full fitness , no injuries he is a starting lock and key to our attack regardless who plays 7. He will support Burton well.

 

[The DoggFather]

Don't know if it's mentioned but I think the 13 jersey is his.

Great..

 

[amapusae]

Just move Jackson to prop, he plays like one anyway. Asiata will be the best ball playing lock we have.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I hope he plays well, but if he was so good why didn't Broncos use him ?

He was injured.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

He was injured.

Will be injured again, probably.

Will be injured again, probably.

Based on what? Prior to his season with the Broncos, I don’t recall him missing too many games

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Based on what? Prior to his season with the Broncos, I don’t recall him missing too many games

Based on his decline in recent years and the fact that he goes down at the slightest touch around the neck/shoulder/head region.

 

[Cook]

Are we really expecting him to get much first grade, assuming everyone is fit and healthy.

Yes

 

[Cook]

Yes

Starting or bench

 

[albatross]

If he stays fit, he could be a decent bench option with his utility value. I don't see him cracking a fully fit run-on side next year.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

We need to rejuvenate him like Sharks did with Heighington, Lewis & Ennis. Quality player that needs the fitness regime (or peps) to get him back to career best form.

 

[Bob dog]

I thought he was a waste of money but what the fuck do I know?
Hope he IS good.

jackson to prop, are you clueless?
