Maybe he still likes playing centre as he mostly played in that position at Penrith.
Is this for real? My heart cannot take any more excitement - JMK signs with Dolphin and then this, if true!
I have mixed feelings about Dufty but can anyone suggest to me who has been more penetrative and added to our ability to score tries other than he ?
I still don't think what Dufty offers in attack is enough for his deficiencies in defence and effort. Dufty also won't be here next year so we should be looking towards the future and trying things. I would be giving Averillo a crack at fullback and Toia once he's back from injury. Even Allan (who also isn't good enough for us) would be better at fullback than Dufty imo (but Allan's also someone we're trying to release). I just want to see anyone else, same goes for hooker.
There had to be a change. Cover and goal line defence will have to improve.
Perhaps us fanatical fans are causing our coaches (plural), and our Admin to make panic decissions.
JAC.
Hope this is true. I really don’t get all the Allen hate. He has been playing well in reserves. Might not have the spark of Dufty, but at least puts his body on the line in defence.. and doesn’t mind contesting a high ball either
Burton came to the bulldogs specifically to play in the halves. Absolutely zero chance he ever plays in the centres for us.
He set up 3 tries and nearly scored one himself. One of the few attacking weapons in our side. Speed to burn and elusive. Shame about his defence but if the rest of the team defended well he would not be exposed as much.
I was responding to another post from Mutt Dafty who said, "let the halves play to each other instead of just having Burton chilling out on the left the entire set. Don't think I've ever seen Burton jump in at first or second receiver and play to his halves partner".
Frusterating player.. gun in attack.. bad in defence.. at moment i still think hes our best option at FB this year..
he is our best option at the moment. In defence on the goal line he should have players working from either side so he doesnt get isolated. He was never going to stop laurie for the last try as it was poor defence from jackson.
I've been stupid enough to give us a chance every week, but hope is the only reason I still watch every game
He’s dropped bro
Do you know it's Allan for sure? Asking because the pics the club uploaded the other day had Jake training at fullback and Allan at centre. I didn't say anything at the time because my strike rate has been off lately lol
