i think he's too slow he backs up well but I think he's a little bit like wade McKinnon he will have plenty of chances off little off loads but won't have the speed to beat the other teams fullback.
His first half covering defence was very, very poor on the right side. As our right side was defending in an up and in style (opposite to left our side) he needed to be rapping around and taking the winger and he wasn't even close to rapping around (he needs to watch Billy Slater) and putting pressure on Brisbane's left side. I don't know if he was down on pace, carrying a leg injury, but he looked slow and looked slower then Kelly at times and Kelly is slow (I'm a little concerned he has lost too much pace). He did do a very nice cover defence at the 46 min mark on the right, not sure why he wasn't doing that in the first half? I think his first half was below average and his second half was above average.
I think he's used to a stronger defensive unit where he doesn't have to cover as much field. He'll have to adjust to our right side shakiness unfortunately.
I would think disappointed more then anything, tonights game looked like we went away from everything that they trained for. Hopefully we can regroup and make amends

Wasn't bad. Wait till the 4th round then we'll see how he is.
He's a special Daz. Mark my words.
totally agree. Mau must be a bit pissed off
