Boys are back tomorrow.
Nah. How many less metres will they make with Dodds there instead of Arrow or Joe? Not enough to make a difference.
The player we put into the starting lineup has to suit the style of play we are trying to play. No matter who we put in we won't have a huge pack that pulverisers the opposition. We need to be trying to play a relentlessly up tempo style of play with quick play the balls and quick line speed in defence. The kind of game plan we used against Melbourne. I know big bodies help to win the ruck but urgency, fitness and technique can do it too.
Of the players we have at the moment the two that are most capable of playing at that sort of pace for big minutes with few errors are Arrow and Joe.
TPJ and Ese'ese are impact players (TPJ will hopefully develop into a superstar) and Glenn is reliable and versatile.
I really can't see a spot for Dodds in the top 17 unless someone is injured or being rested.
He's 100% in my 17 and will have Herman and joffa easily covered for mine. I like players on 1 year deals too, much hungrier than others. With a full pre season he could be pushing for a starting spot if moose slips to 13.
He might have Offa covered but not Ese'ese, should a mainstay in the team next season.
Seriously I have to ask, what have you seen from Ese'ese that the rest of us haven't? You're in love.
Just watch next season mate.
I will be, but it doesn't explain the love.
You're actually mental suggesting roberts loses a centre spot to play wing. Just adharently mental
It makes sense to have your fastest players on the wings. Wingers have a big role in teams these days and it's not an insult to be one. Roberts is indecisive with whether he should run and go himself or pass.. His selection is off at times. If you just put him on the wing, his only option is to run. Kahu is a better centre option in my opinion.
Danoz, wanna make a bet that dodds has a more permanent spot next year over esese (injuries not included in bet parameters)
