I hope he shakes off the skipping syndrome before he joins us next year

Or he and Klemmer can practice skipping together !

It appears the Wests Tigers backline disease has hit Skelton now after Turuva caught it earlier in the year.
Both are looking pretty well conditioned to fit into our mediocre backline by the start of preseason.

he looked like he was carrying a lower leg injury, well i hope so otherwise yes i am concerned

After all my whinging, he still made 170m tonight.
7th best on ground for run metres.

Looks like a lame duck.

Plus the Dogs hardly kicked to him either for some reason.
Imagine they did he would have been way over 200m

Yeah he was favouring that left leg badly late in the game that he always has strapping on. Olam, Turuva & Skelton with some sort of knee issue this year 🤦‍♂️

Htf? It deadset looked like he a) hardly got the ball and b) made little space when he got it.

Seemed to have an injury, was hobbling around the whole second half. Work rate in first half was poor however. Hope he has more enthusiasm at the Tigers.

Injuries? Should fit in perfectly along with Olam and Doohey in the backline. Superstars.

Do you people watch the game? The dogs played joc's wing all night. Skelton was injured late in the second half. Manly bashed them all night. He played ok under the circumstances.

Read the post. I spoke of his work rate in the first half when the Dogs were struggling to make yardage. He made few carries and didn’t look keen for work. In the second half he looked like he’d taken a knock - I believe it was actually quite early because he hobbled around for most of it.
Correct that Dogs did go to JAC and Xerri 95% of the time. They must have felt that was where they had some ascendancy or maybe they knew Skelton wasn’t 100%. Hats off to Garrick who defended well mostly.

It’s funny how we perceive things at times.
I get what you’re saying though.

I think the way the Bulldogs played had a role in it mixed with him taking a hit. Kiraz hogs the play abit and they shifted all night to JAC.

To still come away with 17 hitups, 170mtrs, 49 post contact & few offloads/tackle busts on a sluggish night when he hardly saw any ball / running busted we would take any round of the comp.

100% MT.
Those run metre stats for the game surprise me. 170m correct? Didn’t seem to be that much - just goes to show how little our guys work some weeks when we struggle for anyone to run over 100m!!

I honestly didn't see the 170 metres.

You would rather see chaos in the streets or Belmore with residents terrified just to see a good bloke fail?
