Has a bit to do with it but also smaller players, smalller talented players that have footy sense - with eye hand foot coordination, spatial awareness, extra good peripheral vision dominant personailities etc are generally good at other sports and enticed to those other sports because lack of size is less of an issue.
Don't penalise a hip drop to begin with? I don't know maye. It used to be a regulation tackle. The game used to be tough too, so I don't know anymore.
Titans second-rower Jacob Alick has been in outstanding form for feeder side Burleigh Bears and could come into contention for an NRL debut if Justin Holbrook rests David Fifita this week after Origin. 23-year-old Alick scored a try and set up two more in Burliehg’s big win on the weekend. He also got three linebreaks, a linebreak assist, six tackle busts and ran for 161 metres. Alick joined Burleigh before the 2022 season and juggled his footy with work at the movie cinemas before picking up a six-week train-and-trial with the Titans. He impressed enough to be signed on a two-year Top 30 deal.
His overall qcup stats look very impressive. Scores plenty of tries and defends at 95% efficiency.
I've watched him play. A bit like Jake Turbo with his ball playing, workhorse but doesn't really bend the line or run hard. I'd say he's more of a Danny Fullalo.
Big Stefano is exactly what we need, and wouldn't destroy our cap to get him.
Hope the Stefano possibility is being explored.
Better than Connor Watson
Omfg we literally only signed Salmon just because he’s Penrith lolololol
Wouldn't trust anything DT publish. When have they been right about a Dogs rumour?
Salmon is going to play second row.
we have kikau and preston as our 2 main backrowers though
Who's coming off the bench?
