    Dom was terrific. I think those wanting him axed are going to be disappointed.

          Usually suspects in Rooster 6 and Master back tracking on their dislike of Dom Young - Oh I don't bag him and he was lucky tonight

            What did you think of his defence? I thought his decision making was dreadful.

              It always is. Still shit tonight. What he did really well was take those catches under pressure and then his carries from our end.

                Some anonymous random dude on an anonymous site that couldn't play and trashes a guy playing NRL and International Footy - 74 NRL Games and 66 tries

                Not sure what is in peoples heads that they think they have some bollocks rights to knock those that made it when they never did and never could.

                  This is a footy forum.

                  We all love The Eastern Suburbs Roosters.

                  This should be a safe place to sing the team's praises, vent our frustrations and comment not only on the games our team plays but the players that represent us.

                  Sure sometimes people let emotion get the better of them (Myself included) and some things are said that maybe shouldn't be said but hey that's footy.

                  Criticism and support are not mutually exclusive.

                    Thought it was a big improvement. He forced some bad decisions on his opposites with good pressure and position.

                      I can’t remember the last time a Roosters winger was continuously chasing a bomb at full speed putting pressure on the opposition winger causing errors..

                      Great game plan and perfectly executed by Dom!

                        Dom has scored 23 tries in 24 games for Easts. His attack is not a problem. It's his defence. It just doesn't seem to me to be improving. Am I missing something Jack?

                            After all these years still struggling to understand the concept of a footy forum hey? I'm actually one of the few that like Dom Young in the side and acknowledge his amazing athleticism and speed.

                            It's clear as day that his defence is very poor for the standard he is playing at, the positive is that it can be coached and improved. His speed can't be coached, which is why he is such an asset.

                            I think what's happened here is during your sad overnight trawling of this site, you've tried to find what is probably the only half critical thing I've said on a glorious night for our club. I pity you.

                              Dom Young had a blinder last night, lets hope he can keep it up

                                As I said mate I thought there was at least some improvement last night. More broadly, as I've said before, he's obviously coached to come in and hit the inside man but his execution and judgement is often lacking. Maybe he was schooled badly in his Newie days? He's got a gun like BMoz in the fold now who would be a great mentor.

                                Don't forget he's got inexperienced centres inside him now and hes not trusting them like he needs too. He should improve on this especially with confidence builders like last night.

                                Im not that fussed about his defence tbh as long as he offers a POD in attack, and his ability to find the line is about the best in the game.
