A good backrower needs a good combination with their half.
The Titans have fluffed around with their half pairings his whole tenure there.
Foz is out every other week, Campbell or Brimson have chopped and changed as well as young Weaver getting some chances, poor old Dave hasn't had anyone to create space on a consistent basis for him.
A good combination understands the lines they need to run , know what part of the field those lines are to be run and when they're are to be run.
Dave looks lost to me , he's a car without a driver.
A lot of these footballers aren't in danger of joining MENSA anytime soon, they are but foot soldiers with talent the majority.
Thats why you don't pay a million plus for them.
Players like Fifita and Cobbo don't get through enough work or manufacture enough wins to earn those dollars their usually worth %30 less but some flashes of brilliance here and there ensures someone pays.
'A lot of these footballers aren't in danger of joining MENSA anytime soon' - Haha classic.
But agree Bup, which is why I mention Big Dave next to Foran on the left in 2023.
Campbell is obviously a talent & a very instinctive player, but he's a runner first, a playmaker second. Loves a step back inside off the left foot. Brimson, likewise.
I'd love to see Fifita in the Eels lineup, but, how do you entice with anything short of big money (1+ mil)?
Maybe the allure of being next to a genuine half in Moses would be attractive to him, but two years ago he rejected an offer from the Panthers where he'd have been next to Luai or Cleary. So its hard to know what motivates him.
As you said, someone else will pay for Dave if he becomes available. Unfortunately for the Eels, to have a player like Fifita, we'd probably have to develop them and keep them 'home'?

Nailed it NOS, why would he sign with us ? He resides on the Goldy, trains daily in the sun, shirt off covered in zinc , then strolls into their club , has a hit at the clubs driving range or a whack on the clubs pristine golf course , and then drives 5 minutes down the road for a dip in the beach and a coffee on Cavil Ave. maybe our legendary Centre of Eggs will have a free brothel or something inside and that'll do the job , maybe he's always been dreaming about living on an acreage next door to Ray Hadley out at whoop whoop and that'll get him. Can just see Big Dave on a horse with cowboy boots and a hat. Maybe TN's and a Nautica man bag over his shoulder has always been his dream.
So being realistic , why would we win his services over a Manly , Easts , Cronulla or St Merge as examples , considering their locations , or a Canterbury , Melbourne , or even a Cowboys considering our position on the table ?
To play for Ryles ? Until we get some serious clout in our offices or coaches box , we offer very little. Our best move forward is to hire a decent recruitment officer and set our sights on the young future Gavin's sitting at other clubs , because unless they're under a cloud like JAC the big names are beyond us without paying big overs.
Massive improvement on current edge forwards but not qithout risk, attitude and turning up and playing to his talent week inland week out always been an issue runs like Tarzan some weeks and others like Jane.
Titans would have to chip in to move him on as I doubt anyone is paying him 1 million with his current form, I thi k it'd a great buy if u get him around 700k
Hope not here, skilled yes lazy absolutely, doesn't put in the effort and not what we need, be a waste of cap space and roster position.
Sent back to reserve grade to prove himself on the weekend and ran for something like 53 metres.
Devastating runner of the ball when he is on but unfortunately, he very rarely is on.
I would take Bullemor over Fafita every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Peoples thoughts on Dominic Young?
One of the best wingers in the comp.
He should send a video to 1eyed and tell us about himself and his goals
