  • Our young guys can win this, if they adopt a more steely approach and out enthuse their favoured opposition.

  • Why is Doolan on the bench
    • He can come on and play fullback or in the halves with Matterson moving to dummy half. The club mustn't see Dools as an 80 minute spine player yet.

    • I'm not Ham, obviously, but I'd say a bit of both, Benedict. 
      But even then, it probably tells you that the club are not quite yet sure on his best position and so they're moving him around for him to make a position his own.

        • I really don't know, to be honest. Perhaps at six if anything, but he has to develop his game further in order to find his true position. 

    • I don't think there's too much difference between a fullback and half in our system, he isn't the dominant long kicker anyway. I'd say this role suits him perfectly at this current time.
  • Hi Ham
    How is Denzal going?
    Any potential to be a FG hooker?
    • He's going alright, I haven't really focused on him too much this season tbh. Not sure on dummy half but he would be a decent utility.
