Good to see Dylan back to near his best last week. He has an amazing ability to accelerate quickly and burn the opposition when he is on his game. His defense is always good and he has to be one of the best defensive halves in the game. There is no doubt he can be an amazing player for another decade.
Having said that I believe Dylan has a long way to go in his development as a player. The best halves hold the ball out in front with two hands and leave the defense guessing as to whether they will run or pass. At the moment Dylan is very easy to read and you can tell when he will run or pass. As he develops thsi area of the game more and more i think he will be an unstoppable force for the Eels. Lets hope Dylan can keep his form in tougher games when the defensive line is rushing him a lot more. They gave him so much space on Friday.
Go the Eels

He was better, not at his best but still an improvement. Lane will be getting better after 6 weeks off, once he is 100% you watch Brown go.
Mate you're absolutely spot on here.
People have been criticising him this season, but he has 8 try assists in 9 games. Not too shabby.
Less than one a game for a playmaker on almost a million bucks ain't too much to brag about condeeing we've scored a bunch of points . I say that's just an ok result.
The critisisims have been simply because we know he can do a shitload better. When the coach and Dylan himself are publicly stating he hasn't been good enough I reckon I'll run with their opinion over a stat that can be awarded for simply being the bloke who passed the ball to the try scorer .
Agree thought he had his best game this year so far
Was thinking the same about holding the ball in front two hands to create some deception. Right now he is a bit too easy to read, left foot step to the right is his go to move.
Hope he turns up Sunday with the same mindset.
