Superstar Game Managing 7 - You Decide

[Papa Joe]

The entire NRL World seems to be insisting that the Bulldogs need a Superstar Game Managing Number 7 to make them a genuine contender.

And although I agree, Superstar Game Managing 7's aren't growing on trees and time is required to grow a young half into this role if you cant buy one.

But the Bulldogs fans don't have anymore time - Everyone has run out of patients.

But from the media's point of view, they don't really care - "They Just Love Writing A Story, Especially it seems to bag the Bulldogs when they can.

Below you will find a list of all the current NRL players that have played positionally somewhere in the halves at least at one stage in the last few years.

You will see that some of these names are not genuine Game Managing 7's or even a genuine 7, but I have put them in their for the point of the exercise to show how hard it is right now for our club to find available exactly what we need.

So its time to stop your whining and go out there to buy the one player out of all these names that can deliver exactly what it is that our club needs right now to fill that all important missing piece of the puzzle, Our Superstar Game Managing 7.

I'll share my thoughts on who we should consider a little later on.

Good Luck & Buy Well!!

 

[King Gus]

I think as soon as we start winning games people will just shut up.

 

[bradyk]

O'Sullivan or Madden if I had to choose 1 from that list but I think until an experienced quality halfback is on the market it's going to have to come from within (developing a halfback).

 

[Berries]

I think as soon as we start winning games people will just shut up.

If we win like against the Cowboys a few times people will still whinge and it will be deserved.

 

[King Gus]

If we win like against the Cowboys a few times people will still whinge and it will be deserved.

I remember when we won 3 games in a row by 1 point people still loved the win no complaints really.

 

[Apex Cedar]

How good would it be if we could get DCE, make it happen Baz and Gus.

 

[Aristidiz]

O'Sullivan or Madden if I had to choose 1 from that list but I think until an experienced quality halfback is on the market it's going to have to come from within (developing a halfback).

Agree need to unearth our own, i think we will find Rajab will be partnering Burton in 2023

Agree need to unearth our own, i think we will find Rajab will be partnering Burton in 2023

Not if he keeps playing as a 6.

 

[ShepardDog]

DCE a possibility, isn't he tight with baz still? Baz was probably in his ear when he was in their sheds. the chances are low but not impossible

 

[Aristidiz]

Not if he keeps playing as a 6.

Burto is playing more like a 7 already, Rajab will slot into 6

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Burto is playing more like a 7 already, Rajab will slot into 6

Burton is playing like a nothing right now lol.

 

[ShepardDog]

how long until Hayward is ready for fg?

 

[Berries]

I remember when we won 3 games in a row by 1 point people still loved the win no complaints really.

We couldn't score points then either nothing has changed

 

[Spoonman84]

It’s a massive need for this year but I think Mahoney will ease the pressure massively in regards to game management. He seems to be in the Ennis and Cam Smith mould directing things from the ruck. JMK provides nothing in this regard and doesn’t give any direction at all.

We aren’t finding a solution to it this year and have to use the cards we are dealt and even next year there aren’t any stand out options but Mahoney and a more experienced Burton can do the job for mine.

 

[RookieDog]

any or all of Mbye Frawley Foran.

 

[Bazildog]

Burton is playing like a nothing right now lol.

Probably some of your bravest work Marley. He’s had 3 games into a new team with half changes after 2. His sheer talent will overcome the obstacles as we go forward regardless of Barrett’s meddling.

 

[Kelpie03]

Lets be patient, the only way we will ever get a top notch half is by devepoling one.
The one thing I've noticed with Halves is that they all started playing with brothers /friends in the back yard at avery early age probably only 4- 5- 6,
Lets scan all of the countries Junior nuseries, at the age of 13-14 you can start to see if their is any talent, Give them a new pair of boots buy mum some flowere and Dad a slay of his choice. Most of the boots, flowers and beer will be wasted of course, if we are already be doing that we might have to try a little harder.

 

[Phalangist]

Agree need to unearth our own, i think we will find Rajab will be partnering Burton in 2023

why would you say this when he is playing 5/8 in jersey flegg?

it would make Morse sense if you said the halfback would partner Burton next year.

 

[Phalangist]

how long until Hayward is ready for fg?

this kid is a good player in round one he stood out and the young 5/8 didn’t.

Superstar Game Managing 7 sounds like a Japanese Game Show
