We need to control Hodgson out of dummy half. His running game has torn us to shreds previously

2 knee recons back to back might slow him down a bit - although to be fair we have the same issue with Liddle, only he has more youth on his side

it's funny, he returned from knee reco against us last time as well. Did he injure it against us as well? or was it Storm?

For me it's Wighton that needs to be contained. He gets a bad rap on here, but the guy can play. He runs hard and never gives in. Great player.

Wighton in our previous sides woukd be average the Canberra pack make him look good giving him space.
Adam Douhie is as good as Wighton as a 6

a guy who hasn't even played half a dozen games in the NRL at 6 compared to a Dally M winner? Please take the glasses off

It’s fair to say you can compare him to the clive churchhill medalist of 2019.
How many games at 5/8 did Wighton play before round one that year?

very strong squad, Great to see hodgson back for them.

Wighton is over rated playing behind a good pack for a few years.
Let's see how this year goes with AD at 6 hopefully behind a good pack

 

[Sco77y]

our backline can cause some problems.

Isn't that a refreshing change. Looking forward to seeing our side compete this year, I feel as though we're a better chance than most people think.

At the moment, they're both not even in the same postcode as a 5/8

Give AD a season and see how he goes, wighton is a good centre not a 6

Their backrow is extremely good. Whitehead and Hudson Young will cause us drama on the edges. Tapine is a beast in the middle.Playmakers are more proven than us by a long way.

If we can hold them in the middle we have an advantage in the outside backs.

Man , circa 12 months ago and George Williams was tipped for “worst buy “ , as he apparently did nothing in super league . My point is most of the ratings we all give are based on the years prior form . Who knows if that statement is true . Plus wighton . Had a great year , but many didn’t rate him and said he was a centre of anything prior to last year . It’s funny how the narrative changes when you put wins on the board.
Just to clarify Wighton is awesome . I’m just saying how the conversations move .

Dally M AND Clive Churchill in that position. And not with a Cooper Cronk/Thurston/Johns at 7. You're being very unfair on him.

No players taking points from him in Dally M
doesn't mean much
Robbie and benji in prime were taking points off each other.
Wighton is a good player just massively over rated would take Munster ahead of him at 6 any day of the week

I get it if you think Wighton is overrated, I respect that but he's in the category of Munster (best player in the league currently). AD hasn't even started his career at 5/8 yet.

And neither did Wighton by the eve of round 1 2019.

No but he had a season to get there. Give Douehi a chance.

Never said I'm not?
I hope he can be Wally Lewis but saying he's as good as a player who has been the 2nd best 5/8 last 2 seasons is insane.

Sure,
But what would you of rated Wighton prior to his switch to 5/8?
I guess we should be lucky Douehi is moving there earlier in his career.
Either way he certainly reminds me of a Wighton / Munster type of 5/8. However probably a yard slower but is bigger and strong and probably slicker with the ball than Wighton.
Munster is top of the pack for mine but Douehi has the makings to be really great at 5/8.

Maybe it's over the top but there is something about Doueihi. He is similar to Wighton but I can see him becoming a better player than Wighton. I think his ball playing and kicking games will be better and he can run the footy.

The thing is Doueihi hasn't proven it yet. Wighton has been pretty good for a couple of seasons. Doueihi is also 5 years younger than Wighton. Let's see how good he goes this year.
