Jock Madden #244

[EllisFan]

Madden is the only player we have in the entire squad who can actually long kick to space. That is an incredibly important, but often not seen, skill.

Some of those early kicks into space was game management not seen at this club in quite a while.

I disagree, twal is our lock , AD is miles in front of madden , his defence is a big problem

Doeuihi cannot kick, he can't pass. All he can do is run into gaps that others put him into. Madden's defence is fine. Our system's need to make sure we don't have little guys isolated 1-1 with much bigger guys right on the line.

Without Madden we would have lost. Doeuihi needs to find a new position.

Twal is playing well but could easily play prop too.

Agree he has deficiencies with his passing and kicking. And with Twal. He could do what he’s doing as a prop. And with madden being a reason for why we won.

I gotta disagree with you with douehi running into gaps others people put him into. He on at least 3 occasions created opportunities with the way he straightened, held up a pass and ran through the defense.

Interested to see what Benji does with Jock going forward. That was one of the best kicking performances I've ever seen from a WT half. Doueihi and Luai are better players than him and are more important to the team, but neither of them have the skill set he does.

Depending on how the next few weeks go, Jock has the opportunity to force Benji's hand so that he can't be left out.

Jock did a great job, but I want to temper my excitement until we have played our next 5 games.

This is the 3rd year we have been 2W 1L in our first 3 matches and then we lose a few close ones and fall away.

It's also early in the season where teams are not in their best form.

If we can jag 3 or 4 wins from the next 5...without Luai and Taylan, then I'll believe we are the real deal.

We haven’t looked this cohesive …in defence in those years . The issue won’t be Newcastle and the eels , even though those games are 50/50. It goes broncos , raiders , sharks , storm . If we are fair dinkum we should be looking at at least 3 wins , hopefully 4. Even with the outs in the backline .
