If these stats continue in this vein for certain players it must be time to give Max Wood and Bullock a chance I reckon. I cannot believe Burgess will be content with some performances.


Vaughan
Carrying our pack again. :CLAP:
15 carries
117 metres
29 tackles
4 missed tackles

Walker.
Immense work rate in defence.
8 carries
62 metres
49 tackles :CLAP:
2 missed tackles


Dudson
3 carries :EH:
18 metres.
10 tackles
2 missed tackles

Philbin
8 carries
53 metres
11 tackles
3 missed tackles


Musgrove
8 carries
55 metres
10 tackles
0 missed tackles

Harrison
had a strong game. :CLAP:
15 carries
113 metres
29 tackles
2 missed tackles

Currie
9 carries
38 metres
39 tackles :CLAP:
5 missed tackles

I think Musgrove's stats are off a relatively short on field period so gets a pass too. Wood & Bullock for Dudson and Philbin for me but will wait and see.

Yes I think Musgrove only did one stint.

Dudson is taking the mickey and Philbin hasn't been effective since 2019 in truth.

If Vaughan and Harrison are injured we are screwed.

Dufty needs dropping for bottling the high kick.. made no attempt at all, not the first he’s bottled his defensive duties..

It's a real shame he is not a better defensive player as his attacking play is lethal at times.

The worry is that other than an Ashton interception and the occasional flash of brilliance from Williams, who other than Dufty looks like scoring (or even creating anything?)

I thought Musgrove did ok, why he didn't come back on in the second half I'm not sure? If we could add a Mikaele level prop back in to the squad I think we would look ok.

Vaughan
Musgrove
Harrison
New Prop

With Philbin, Bullock, Wood, Thomas & Green covering.

Nicholson and Crowther at 13 with Powell covering when needed.

This is true. Our opponents would feel better with Dufty out of the side rather than in it.

Our main attacking flair players (who can make opportunities for others)

Williams
Dufty
Ratchford
Wrench (it's early days)

Wood must have been vey close to getting in the squad after his early season form. It's good to see that we have some options on the selection front & I'm a bit more patient than some & am pleased that we have a new Coach to make the big decisions. I think Dufty is out best attacking player & though I can see his faults I wouldn't dream of leaving him out.
Not convinced that Wrench & Hayes are the answer at the moment but hope I am missing something that others see.
When we play Cats I always wish we had one of their wingers Davies, Johnson or Yaha to bring the ball back. Ryan Hall would be handy too ... but you can't have everything.

Harsh, normally it's our wingers that take those kicks, and Lindop moved towards and backed out, Dufty mopped up for a Lindop spill earlier. If its Thewlis or Ashton they take them all day, Dufty has copped a couple of high ones in the game. So I don't think he lacks bottle.

As others had said above he's in for his strike not necessarily his defence, but I think his defence isn't as bad as others make out, I think as the senior pro he should have claimed but it isn't what we would normally do in those situations with starting wingers.
