He has 5 tackle busts for the season.

He has played on the field for 192 minutes. Has 5 errors which works out as one every 40mins minutes.

Lets compare him to others in our team

Max King has 3 errors in 624 minutes played
Hopini has 0 errors in 136 mins played
Curran has 3 errors in 561 minutes played.

We can go through the rest of the middles and there is a reason why he doesn't get that many minutes. It's not like his stats at the roosters were any better. He is who he is, no reason to keep him for future years. We have better less error prone players coming through who offer more impact.

It's not like he hasn't been playing now in the NRL for 6 years. He should be better than what he puts out on the field. He was always a filler until we got better forwards.
I'd take the 2024 version of Hughes any day of the week over DSF. Hughes, King, Curran and Hayes all have big motors which potentially gives Cirro the luxury of carrying both Hayward and Galvin on the bench for as long as possible. That said he is doing it now, I just dont know if we can get away with it against the comps best packs.

One thing i will say about DSF, his win rate is 100%. We are 9/9 with him in the team.
 
this game another of those we havent beaten them..2019 its been six years
 
if im honest we lack one piece for GF glory....an out n out star!

As the saying goes a Champion Team will always beat a team of champions. We have a team that plays as one. If someone is injured or suspended. The next man up knows their role.

We are the fittest team in the competition. As long as we can play discipline football, get to our kicks. Apply good kick chase pressure. We can suffocate all teams for 50-60 minutes and then our fitness kicks in at the backend and grind the game out. We will win most games with our squad.
 
DSF defs drops out if we are ever full strength and eventually ciraldo will have to make a tough decision regarding the spine, eventually one of sexton/mahoney/galvin drop out

my guess at pack/bench is (not saying i'd salmon over someone like todd, but i'm certain he will be )

king
hooker
curran
preston
kikau
salmon

mann
hayward
hayes
tupouniua

i've still got no clue where he lands on the 3 spine guys.
but you forgot to mention galvin, either he starts and sexton is out or hes on the bench, which makes team lists even more interesting with players coming back from injury now with galvin
 
He needs to realise less is more

Just pass those darts off the ground and make your tackles…quick ruck then run.
Love those Reed Darts!!
We would miss them if he left.
He creates phenomenal width for our attack from one pass.
He's a good Dog!!
 
I’m hoping they reinforced his arm in surgery !! Would love to see him back in FG ripping and tearing
Love Jack Todd.
He's primed to be the Lachie Galvin of our forward pack.
Just need that arm to stay strong!!
Good luck in reggies on Friday.
Even better he is playing at #13 and Sam & Lipoi are the starting props with Jack Underhill & Zyon off the bench.
That should allow him a bit more freedom to be creative.

He’s got great footwork and speed for a big fella ! Straight out of the Yeo mould ! I’m excited to see him rip in
 
I think after Origin period is when Ciraldo pulls the trigger with Galvin. Rd 20 game against the dargons is when we begin our finals march
Hope not.i doubt any club has ever won a grand final with a 19 year old playing in the halves.leave Burton and sexton there.
 
Wonder what change Ciro would make if a winger went down tomorrow? There's more options for fullback or centre but wing would be interesting.
