Valid points, but:
(a) We don't have the depth;
(b) We don't have the quality in the proposed replacements
If Bennett had to "make do" I'm sure that he would not be playing with our halves and hooker or fullback
Wallace has to go

Funnily enough I was going to reply saying that but what do you know I scrolled down and you said exactly what I was going to post.
I honestly don't remember Priddis being a grub, Ennis on the other hand... Shit and a grub.

yeh i can not remember priddis doing anything grubby, at least not while playing for the broncos. id love some links to show some of the supposed grubby stuff he did, but being so long ago its not really likely that any are available if he did do them.

1 more year - left after 2001.
still one of the worst decisions in our history to let him go IMO. his performance in penriths grand final win was one of the most dominant ive ever seen in a GF.

I don't understand how everyone here is so anti wallace- norman offers nothing in comparison.

Because Wallace is the senior player who should be more consistent and lead the team. Norman is in his first full year as a first grade player.

Re: Round 23 - Bulldogs vs. Broncos - Build Up Thread
it isn't Wallace job to teach norman how to play. Wallace is trying hard to lead the team but this is predictable to defend against

Re: Round 23 - Bulldogs vs. Broncos - Build Up Thread
It seems pretty clear, as Coxy and no doubt others have posted recently, that Wallace is no organizer, and that he plays best under a capable leader and organizer, like we all know who.
On the other hand there have been games where Wallace has lead the team but they seem to be all too few.
Like I keep saying, I can't figure Wallace out - why he can be very good, then either not good or MIA.
Maybe Macca should be given some sort of leadership role ... and play the full 80 minutes whenever possible

Re: Round 23 - Bulldogs vs. Broncos - Build Up Thread
Didn't see where I said Wallace had to teach Norman. Wallace plays crap every year. He goes months at a time where he is the worst halfback in the comp. That is the problem If he was consistently at his best he would rarely get slagged off because he is a pretty decent halfback.

More often than not - yes. Thing is, he has done it, and can do it.
Such inconsistently is ruining this side

Re: Round 23 - Bulldogs vs. Broncos - Build Up Thread
I think he's playing wounded again - he doesn't seem like one who's able to play with injury. He was battered, bruised, strapped and iced up more than any of the other players in the sheds post Canberra game. If he can't play with a niggle than it's a serious flaw of his.
