[Headless Chook]

Interesting,

Is he that good, From what I have seen of him, He is nothing more then a safe consistent FB. Id say he is a sam perret level player


What are you opinions and whats he worth

You mustn't have seen much of him then. Either that or you're just a bad judge.

I'll be praying we sign Dugan soon. He's a freak fullback and will be an origin player soon enough.

[Guest]

He seems to be copping injuries during a match quite a bit. Reeks of glass Matai.

[Guest]

What injuries are those? Matai will be retired soon from nerve damage in his neck and shoulder I'm sure of it. Dugan doesn't have any injuries remotely close to that.

His style is pretty physical though, as he tries (and succeeds mostly) at breaking every tackle.

[Guest]

Watch the amount of times he stays down in the game. That's at the age of 20, what will he be like in 5 years?

you're a strange chap Mike

glass Matai?

he's an excellent centre, better than any we have

and he contributes a lot more than your man Braith, at a fraction of the cost

Matai is an absolute turnstile in defence.

I've noticed this too and it concerns me. Dugan plays the game hard and seemingly has not a thought for self-preservation.

[Guest]

do some of you guys want a player who plays the game soft?

because we have had many of them in the past few years and all it has brought is a wooden spoon.

Morley enjoyed seeing Matai running at him.

In 5yrs time he will be more physically mature and much more capable of handling the knocks he receives. The kid is still 19 and a lot of kids don't get their physical maturity for a few years yet.

Seriously now, do you consider the topic at hand before posting or do you just click away?

At no time did I bring up Matai's game up. He was brought up for comparison because he does get injured a lot.

I think you tend to get too excited at times, not a good attribute to have, especially with the missus.

Maybe, you're right.

Or there's a possibility that these knocks will take their toll in 5 years.

Who knows, plenty of players go through a horror injury run before stringing together their best footy.

that's it, call the clinic, book a priest, it's finally happened, you've slipped over the edge...

he's one of the best defensive centres anywhere

you are truly mad

Tackles made for the season = 81

Tackles missed = 20

Stats would tend to put a dent in your argument.
