I think JDB will really him us next year. His meters per carry is suprisingly high. Also starting him will allow Moretti and Walker to come on the field together and work their combination that looked so promising earlier in the year.
Middle defensively it still needs work that's where I want to see JDB operating as the starting 13 moved into the prop role when Junior is spelled.Him and Hopgood can punch out minutes without losing lateral agility and effort in the middle.He's another piece we have a nice blend of youth and size.Moretti Paulo JDB Hopgood and Tuivaiti.
Smith JDB and Hopgood are huge because they do the dirty work clean up in the middle.Just got to keep 2 of those first 3 mentioned on for the defensive work effort we can't afford to,lose ruck control.That's all I watch when we have the ball first contact kick pressure Those 3 first mentioned will be integral to our continued improvement.
I've got the same. Have to give Joash a mention. 183m, 1 try assist, 2 linebreak assists and 3 tackle breaks. He's growing in confidence and getting better.
I'm Happy!!! Third Second and First to all the partners out there who have to live through our one point wins Holy shit!!! Getting too old for this shit!!!

3—Middles facing the Hess-Lolo Locomotive: Smith, the tireless Energizer Bunny (top tackler 46, was everywhere), Moretti The Italian Bulldozer, Hard Yakka Hopgood (45 tackles second highest, 16 hit-ups the highest, 100% tackle efficiency, most run…"

1 - JAC, made the most of his opportunities with so much attack directed to the other wing

"He would've had to accept whatever coin Newcastle were able to pay him. We would've simply ended our contract with him. Why would he go when he could've simply bummed around for us earning huge money.
Id like to hear whether his fans think he…"

Yep I think we all recognise the improvements in defence due to JDB signing. He, Hopgood and Smith defensive workhorses.
Was just trying to allude to improvement in attack in this comment.

Hopgood made 47 tackles, none missed, none ineffective.
