Staines while no super star is a solid performer. He got wrongfooted in the last game (for Manly to score) only because his centre rushed out of the defence line, he is usually a great defender, a good kick returner, safe under a high ball and if he got more clear ball could burn most opposition outside backs.
Agree!! 💯 👍
To be honest, most centres in the NSW Cup can defend better than Douehi, he really can't read an attack and seems to have a very strong aversion to making one on one tackles.
Only 5?? I beg to differ 😜
I rate Starford, another player who while he's no superstar he usually performs better than most give him credit for.
He'd be a great pick up if we could get him, not too expensive either
Penrith would agree so too Parra & the SE Qld teams.....all the rest would oppose it..... especially the Roosters & the Storm.
re Jack Bird...
I don't know why Alexander hates Wests Tigers so much, he never played against them when he was at Penrith or the Warriors (He was pre merger)?
Future leader.... already one of our senior players.
Can you point me to one post where I said my theory is to sign RCG? haven't mentioned his name once. I like you mate, but you go off half cocked most of the time without the full info at hand. This post being yet another example.
Yes I’m thinking we are sick of our centres leaking points and want someone who can defend, but you make a valid point as a good centre also needs to have enough pace to threaten in attack and it looks like Bird has slowed down too much to be a genuine attacking threat as a centre.
With our history and his injury history, I find it hard to believe it could happen.
That's a question for Benji
I think people are thinking about it wrong Bird and Olam will job share 1 position should get almost a full season out of them
Pure coincidence. We went down 16 nil because Mason & our outside backs were flat out incompetent for 20 mins.
Not sure how his centre rushed anything when he was playing centre at the time.
I watched the same thing. He's a cat
