I’m not a big fan of Hutch as a halfback and would prefer him play reserves but he tries extremely hard and by all accounts is a real good human being. Booing our own player when he comes up on the big screen is fucking disgraceful, embarrassing and very childish. Grow up you morons.
Got the defense to beat anyone in the comp, our fitness is the best it’s been and we’ve shown that you don’t need a big a big forward pack to get on top of other forward packs.
Hughes and Preston are future origin stars.
Hughes will soon start with King, I like how CC has eased him into it, think it keeps them keen and looking to impress in the time they have on the field. Patola will get increased minute as the season wears on.
Hutch would almost be leading the club in missed tackles and as for communication, Taaffe is doing a good job organising defense so I can’t see it being a problem. He was the NSW under 19’s halfback.
I’m not sure what Taffy’s defense in the front line is like but it’s got to be better than Hutchinson, we all know he’s a better ball player/ball runner.
We need to keep him on that left edge inside the fox, I think that pace outside kiks will get us a lot of points. I’d like to see them keep kautoga on the bench to give Kiks a rest for 10mins each game.
CC has now shown he’s a good coach and will take this club to a premiership. Our defence is the best I’ve seen it in 10 years and our attack is coming along slowly. There’s a couple guys out there that try real hard but aren’t first graders and will eventually fade out of the team when better...
I believe Burton will be primed to make a big statement against the QLD and Australian number 6 on Friday, I reckon the whole team and coaching staff are in his ear about a blues jersey this year.
I too believe in being patient and waiting on these young blokes to mature but I still want to win games this year and believe Sexton has a better skill set than Hutch. Hutch proved to us that he’s game management isn’t great, he’s bombed several tries showing and going instead of using the...
Hutch being in the starting side makes no sense, I don’t want to sound like a negative bloke but he’s not a starting first grader, he should be setting up tries, not bombing them. Bench at best.
We played better against Roosters best 13 than we did against 12 then 11 so I’d prefer them at full strength. Hopefully the ref isn’t courted by Melbournes big wigs during the week.
This is true.
He has always had the best roster in the comp yet they are rarely the best team in the comp.
Last night a Bulldogs team made up of a couple of stars and the rest players other teams didn’t want put 26 on a team full of state and international representatives.. beetroot head...
5 ruck infringements to 1.. Atkins definitely gave them a helping hand in that second half. If you watch the game again, take note of the time they lay in the ruck and not get penalised.
We can cover injuries a bit better this year and I’m hoping we can pull off a miracle against Easts like we did a few years ago. Game plan should be get Kiks one on one against their tiny half.
We’re doing ok, the teams we’ve played have been playing together for years.. we’ll be much better in a few more rounds. Best thing about this year has been defending our line and defending after errors, the boys are working for each other.
