Opportunity for Mitch Brown at Doggies

[everett]

With no Barba to play fullback I wonder if the much maligned Mitch Brown will get a look in

Options I can think of for fullback are;

Mitch Brown
Steve Turner
Kristian Inu

Patrick Templeman. Next Big Thing.

 

[jctiger]

Hassler is probably on the phone to Brett Stewart as we speak. ( or type )

 

[LaT]

Josh Morris might get a run. He started in first grade as a fullback.

Krisnan Inu on the other hand has never played fullback at club level, although he did play 2 games for the Kiwis in 2007.

 

[tig_prmz]

im pretty sure inu played fullback for the warriors (knocking on the ball heaps in a game iirc) before he got dropped from the side.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Word is its going to be Dury Lowe

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Is Sam Perrett still there?

They have some riches there to play with…

Perrett?
Inu
Wright
Turner

I'd suggest leaving Morris at Centre considering the year he had in 2012

 

[LaT]

If you mean Jono Wright Watto, hes actually gone to Sharkies this year.

Perrett is an option too. I just reckon they are going to lose so much with Barba not there and fullback being so important, you would want someone who would get close to his livewire type play, Morris would at least fill some of that gap.

You do like to live in fairyland, don't you BM96? :unamused:

I reckon Inu would make a good fullback.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

I reckon they will go with Inu as well, he is pretty freakish under the high ball when he is having a good day.

BULLDOGS coach Des Hasler is poised to turn to a little-known rookie cut by the Canberra Raiders midway through last year as the replacement for Dally M medallist Ben Barba.

Drury Low only has two NRL games to his name, but The Sunday Telegraph has been told the electric rookie is expected to line up opposite North Queensland fullback Matt Bowen at Gosford's Bluetongue Stadium this Saturday night.

Given the more experienced options available - Krisnan Inu, Sam Perrett and Steve Turner will all be in the Bulldogs side - the inclusion of Low shapes as a gamble.

But given Hasler's track record of identifying some of the NRL's best emerging talent, the new Bulldogs fullback is tipped to be well equipped to handle the pressure of replacing Barba.

No question, it's impossible to replace the X-factor and unpredictability Barba brings for the Bulldogs.

However, The Sunday Telegraph has been told that Low, 22, has spent the entire off-season training as Barba's understudy. He has an exceptional turn of pace and strong leg-drive.

Stuck behind Josh Dugan and Reece Robinson at the Raiders, the Bulldogs snapped up Low midway through last year, when he was immediately ushered into the club's NSW Cup outfit.

The Bulldogs will also tackle the Cowboys without James Graham (suspended) and Sam Kasiano (injured).

Hasler is toying with the idea of picking teenage prop David Klemmer to make his NRL debut.

The media have a tendency to get half a mongrel over Hasler for some reason. Sure he is a decent coach but bloody hell- he has had some good cattle at his disposal.

As far as "identifying young talent" goes all I can think of is Cherry-Evans, he was a local junior anyhow playing in the Manly NYC side so it is hardly like Des pulled him out of obscurity.

David Klemmer is a good buy in your dream team/super coach teams…
Cheap as and will appreciate in value when he does get a crack, be good for trades/etc.

Drury Low > Mitch Brown
