Re: 2012 Rd 14 V Knights: Game Day and Post Match

I'm not convinced with Dugan at 5/8 - However i'll hold my judgement, as he's making the same mistakes as Todd Carney and Terry Campese when they first started in the halves. His attacking kicking game in the opposition 20 needs to improve the most, and no more cut out balls to the hot dog stand. Fe...

I'm happy to call a spade a spade and yes at the time I thought it was the right call.

Most of the QLD team had an obvious grudge for Beau Scott, the poor bloke did nothing wrong though. Have you seen him play at club level?

He's a raw player who could use a few weeks at Logan or U20's. Carney and Milne are knocking on the door and if they can come into first grade and catch the ball in addition to running hard and making metres in our own end, it'll only benefit first grade by having healthy competition.

Re: 2010 Rd 13 V Titans: Game Day and Post Match

It's hard to explain but Campese has a serious technical flaw in his kicking. A few weeks ago against either Souths or Wests, he tried to kick on the run and it went straight to their fullback on our dying set to steal a win. Today, it stood out when we were trying (hopefully) to force a repeat set,...

Re: Player in Focus: Daniel Vidot

In terms of physical ability - The potential is there to be a club great.

Right now I don't see him being used correctly. At the U20's level he shined at centre and fullback, and with ball in hand he's tough to bring down. Get Monaghan to play outside him.

Re: Thurston's behaviour last night

The referees deserved to be shot for some of their decisions in the final few minutes, notably Manly being a good 2-3 metres off side, the Matt Bowen 'knock on' which was bush league and Ballin/Watmough fighting over the ball which looked like an actual knock on.

Both Croker and Dugan have this habit of running AWAY from support and rarely linking with a player in space. I think he'll be a good player in a few years but he hasn't locked up the spot at all. Justin Carney and Milne should come into contention soon and hopefully they'll push Croker to a new lev...

Monaghan proved his class last night.

Did anyone just completely lose it when Campese kicked it straight to a Souths player in the 77-78 minute mark? Not calling for his head but he does this way too much whenever he's running the ball and in two minds.
