On his day he is awesome. The guy has ability. It's not like it has disappeared. I'll back him to have a blinder this season.

Another perfect example is Michael Jennings. He underperformed in 2011 the same as SKD even though there were no changes the the Panthers halves.

Jennings is over-rated,don't get what people see in him.

[novice chook]

SKD has the talent, he just needs to improve his concentration and awareness levels and toughen up a little mentally. He seems to hang his head after a mistake or two, gets into the wrong mindset and the mistakes keep coming.

He is a confidence player, and if it all doesn't go his way, his performances suffer. And the problem is, there are plenty of times when it all won't go his way and he has yet to learn to deal with that successfully on a consistent basis.

Dude do you watch a lot of NRL from Africa? Jennings may be slightly injury prone and have off-field problems but there is no denying his talent.

SKD is unpredictable. He's hard to defend against. I'd rather he played for us than against us.
He needs to better his ball security, his defence and his passing.
His running is amazing.

Yes. When he is on his game.
Ball security has been an issue, but I think that will be addressed.
I think you will see the real version of SKD this year.

I agree, with Elliot as the backline coach this should be positively addressed...

Elliot did contribute to the future success of both Gasnier & Cooper so something should stick.

I think SKD will end up back on the wing...

Was he not widely pilloried for his wing work?

Or was that because he was too young?

Interesting thought. Not sure it should happen though.

Interesting thought. Not sure it should happen though.

Given the new talent he would not move to wing, if any a new wing would partner him if Perrett is either demoted, injured, or moves to full back injury cover for Mini.

I agree with the Dark pessimistic bastard. If anything Moga will play wing, SKD must be kept infield at all costs. If anywhere at all.

[mightyrooster]

Yep, I said it was interesting because moving him back to the wing I'd never even entertained. I think his best position is centre and moving him there was one of the best decisions Smith made when he took over as coach. What we need is for SKD to cut out the stupid errors and become more consistent AND to find a centre partner for him.

[Guest]

Move SKD back to the wing? The bloke is our star centre. He isn't moving anywhere.

Sure SKD had a poor 2011, but who doesnt have a bad year once in a while. He has a few issues with his ball control and makes some basic errors, but the form he showed in 2010 was incredible. He is such a strong running centre and is one of few players who can bust through a line at ease.

I think the issue last year was a dead backline. We have too many players who offer nothing, and because of this we were all expecting SKD to make up for this and win games for us. With dead wood in the backs such as J.Carney, Anasta, Mini, Perret...its no wonder SKD isnt performing. All those players I named dont offer us anything special in attack.

Fingers crossed he has a big year in 2012! 2013 will be a big year for us!
