Skelton hasn’t played in NSW Cup the last two weeks. Critta is lazy & has only put in about ten productive minutes in each of the last two games. But then he is the Captain & on big bikkies. Even Burton is out performing him. Both obviously came to the Dogs for the money & a bludge.
How on earth do you still want Hutchinson anywhere in the 17 lol. Blokes usless
I agree that time is needed to gel, also I respect the team's efforts but none the less I believe Taaffe looks and plays more like a halfback, Tracey would be a better fullback, Burton is more suitable and effective as a Centre, Hutchison has been performing well but too slow as a halfback, Sexton would be another better alternative than Hutchison.
Look closely brother, he was involved in many of our tries, pity he lacks speed !
I disagree think it will be Wilson for JAC, Mann to lock, Salmon to second row & Kautoga on the bench
He comes across as a confidence player and is the type that will respond well if faith is shown to him
We likely are going to end up 1 and 5 based off the next two fixtures. The defence is there, but the halfback isn’t you can’t take down the top dogs without one. To top it of the refs are even worse this year.
That's so true. We have played well in batches but we have copped a lot of bad calls. Even worse we still have loads of plodders in the side.
Hutch's major downfall is speed.
Souffs were shit and we still lost cannot see doggies defeating rorters!!!
There’s a night and day difference the only concern I have is heads dropping this draw is made to break us.
He looks like a back up at best. Middles pecking order goes like this from best to worst: King, Curran, Hughes, Faamusili (when fit), Knight, Patolo and finally Zane Tetavano. Personally I reckon by mid season it'll be King and Hughes as our starting props moving forward. They seem to be just easing Hughes into the role slowly.
We can't fault his efforts, unfortunately his lack of speed lets him down, for him 5/8 could be the solution or maybe 14.
Come on man......
Im a bigger fan of Hutch in the halves than Burton and whilst i also feel CC is getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of playmaking from the halves, he'll probably swap Hutch first before he pulls the trigger on Burton.
Hutch hasn't really done much. We should have won at least 2 or all 4 of our opening games not 1.
If he plays Hughes for any less minutes he might as well retire. Put him in the starting side he can’t be any worse than what we’ve seen so fat.
