News NRL market watch: The Bulldogs are close to securing an exciting Sharks teenager as their future fullback,

[Howie B]

Everyone on here KNOWS Frawley’s main play is the show and go. Did our coach bring this up in preparing for the Raiders game?

All players have idiosyncasies that coaches should easily pick up. Ponga for example when confronted at fullback by an opposing player who has broken the line and has support, it is almost certain he will go for the intercept. The show and go is the go with him.

Mate I reckon Dufty knew that was his big play but he chose to avoid contact. After all of the stories last year about his lack of commitment in defence I thought he would have had more of a dig this year.

By not doing so has ended his NRL career

Sadly some players are just scared of contact...it's even sadder that we have 3 of those players in Knockonbur, Avo and Dufty. You could even add Flanno to this list although he puts his body on the line in defence but not in attack

I don't know how these players make it to the NRL

We've got Joash Papalii coming coming through the grades too, might be one to keep an eye on.

I think they turning him into a utility 9

A fair few of the young halves these days don’t dig into the line. It’s over coaching in juniors and the halves passing early for set plays.

There are not many gun halves coming through

Yes he is in the rep side playing this weekend, mate coaches the team

Please ask your coach mate, wtf would they pick 2 fullbacks from sharks to play U18s, Sharks Harold Matthews and SG ball fullbacks in the same side.
Looks like most of the boys deserve to be there but there is a few that shouldn't be, bit of who you know and what you know in the City U18s.

Dykes goes alright in the 2 games i seen.. very early call but a better fullback prospect than Averillo imo..

 

[KLil]

Go get Savage... Dykes would have been a good halves option.

Nothing strange about a bloke calmly shooting out the windows at baggage collection

 

[ILiveForDib]

16? Says enough come back to this thread in 4 years.

It only happens once a year in Canberra airport.

 

[stingray]

I dont look to much into young kids coming through, just gets harder and harder as you go up the development ladder

Doggies recruited this kid from NZ, plays in local team and some of his teammates dont like him

 

[Bulldogsforlife23]

He signed with Canberra.
