OFFICIAL Simon Dwyer [Discussion]

[everett]

Hopefully our answer to the great Bradley Clyde. Sign him up long term. Looks like he has bulked up since last year

 

[tiger_tigers]

looks a bit bigger than last … and definately dented the line ....big things are coming for this kid ....

 

[southerntiger]

I have rated this kid since his first 10 seconds in first grade. The talent and class oozes out of his skin.

 

[towntiger]

didnt they sign him for 2-3 years last season?

 

[prattenpark]

he should be starting IMO, give us a physical presence on the field, in 2 years id dare say he will be as big as waterhouse

Ron he's had 4 State Cup games back and 1 in FG….

Sheens has found his utility second rower off the Bench for now....

His defence is outstanding for a kid.....

when at full strength (which seems like never) id have him starting ahead of flanagan fulton and payten in the backrow, we need a physical presence and this kid provides it

gibbs
galloway

Dwyer
ellis
rhino

Payten
moors
fifita
fulton/flanagan

we may make the finals with that side…...

Spot on. And the way we always seem to have at least one injured you can pretty much be sure that you would never need to decide between fulton/flanagan.
Those first four tackles, one after the other, on debut last year sealed it for me with Dwyer

[Tigerdale]

welcome back to 1st grade Simon….you'll b here for a while

Very solid in his first FG hitout for the year. He's bigger than last year and it's all lean muscle which is what you want. Tips the scales at about 102kg but I reckon he'll easily end up playing at around 106kg in a year or two. He normally runs wide of the ruck where he can get his arms free and offload but he was pretty good doing the hard yards running off inside balls back into the ruck tonight. Defended well too. Has to stay on the bench as a backrower IMO.

 

[Peaches]

He is going to play lots of first grade, hopefully with us.

Agreed…...what a unit!!

 

[alexaki]

Big Unit..he played well, hope he stays in FG!.

Bench: Fifita, Flanagan, Dwyer, Moors!

 

[crouching_tiger]

His workrate in defence should see him lock down a bench spot comfortably. Fifita was contained well tonight and seemed a little lethargic/sluggish out there.

 

[Student_of_the_game]

….. Is here to stay. Fulton's injury may be a blessing in disguise. Why did we get Fulton back when we have quality backrowers like Dwyer???
This guy is Origin material in the next few seasons. We can build a great pack around 5 guys IMO: Fafita, A, Dwyer, Murdoch, Woods and Shirnack, J.

 

[Aladinsane]

Steady on….Liam has been of our best players this year so far.....don't kid yourself, as so as Fulton is fit enough, he is back faster in the side than you can say "Gesundheit".....though Dwyer does look the goods

 

[tiger_tigers]

liam has the skills , but he dosent have the body to match …..
when dwyer was injected , our forward pack were much stronger .....

 

[softlaw]

What we don;t need is Fulton and Flanagan in the same 17 as they are both small backrowers. Same as when we had Fulton & Halatau.
Personally I think Flanagan is the one who should miss out.

 

[Snake]

I want this kid in the team every week!

 

[citizen_cub]

Yeah, Student has a point there. I think we should start debuting some young fowards now, so that we can get a better idea of who we want in our pack in years to come.

Dwyer is good go foward prop who is an equally as effective defender. I thought he also showed some good handling skills i thought, after getting crap inside passes from the likes of Marshall and Farah.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Dwyer is good go foward prop.

Dwyer is not a prop, he's a second rower.

 

[softlaw]

Dwyer is good go foward prop.

Dwyer is not a prop, he's a second rower.

Don;t worry, sheens will fix that….
