If he ends up being 1/10th of those 4 then he’s a keeper. He really misses their injections of pace. He might possess it, but he hasn’t shown it yet.
But really big improvement today. Great commitment.

I see him more as Hodgson 2.0. If he developed Gutho’s or Hodgo’s ball playing then he would be gold - he’s already got their guile and we saw his intent today.
Yeah I agree, I think despite his frame he is bit more of a robust player than Hodgson. Gutherson’s game is built on his elite fitness levels. If Daine gets to that level I think he is equiped with more natural skill to surpass him.

In fairness to Ken and Daine, the bombs they let bounce were coming down 1m from the sideline. You catch the bomb and the the 3 parrra players around you push you into touch.

Best game ever for us.
Looked happy and was tough.
Looks like he and his pokie machine mate the jet may become what gels the backline together.

His uncle would have been playing for us back then I'd reckon....
Amazing what a week off does....
An isolation week, at that....
One of our forum favourites is enjoying some time off too.... might work wonders for him too.

We need a meme or gif of that idiot arcing up at half time. The head he pulled trying to mock Laurie was next level wankery.
Doesn't mind thinking he's better than he is...
Love the little fella put him in his place,
Maybe Daino is a better Dancer or something....

In all credit to gutho

I'm happy with his efforts against Parra. Still got work to do in defence but his intent was much better and he was in motion when we had the ball which is what you want to see from the guy at the back.
Seems like a few players rediscovered their hunger this week. Not sure what it is but hopefully it stays with them.

I hope it isn't his MCL. He was having hus best game for us last night. Great pass for the first try, involved in the plays sniffing around for the ball a lot more, and much better enthusiasm.
To'a did Ok last night but would much prefer him in the centres.

I started this critical thread, and I'm very happy the last 2 weeks I have been humbled to the point I'm shattered Daine won't be playing the next few weeks.
The improvement in his effort has been great.
Hope he recovers quick.
