Pressure is building on the coach.
Woods biggest asset in his prime was his ability to stay on his feet and twist in the tackle enough for his offload. He was never considered a break the line cleanly type of prop. His best days are well and truly behind him
You know it reminds me exactly what the Tigers were going through with McGuire. It's a carbon copy and we can see what happens when you use this approach fighting for the wooden spoon
Aren't JDB, Molo, Lawrie enough to mentor young props in the squad?
Woods used to offload a lot. JDB I think has been given directions to pass before the line or make metres, not so much offload.
JBD taking the role of second or even first receiver is one of his many skills. Even tho he has been removed from lock he still does it when prop as he has ingrained it into his play book over many years. It does not seem to inhibit the main role of a prop as he is running the best part of 100m every match and popping the odd offload.
Nothing the NRL, corrupt police, judicial system, corrupt rep selectors or this coach has been able to ruin JDBs game.
Remember when McGregor picked JDB at halfback?
Yep .....
Against the at the time high-flying Broncos. Halfback isn't his position but he didn't embarrass himself. Unlike some of his teammates.
If he wasn't loath to move Hunt from his favourite position, Griffin would've tried that by now.
Was that for only the one game. Dont recall it. But given his ball skills I'm not surprised he made a decent fist of it. JDB had to've been the biggest bloke ever to play half I'd imagine.
Doubt it.
Yeh given we offloaded Robson when we signed McIness because he wanted to play hooker and Robson did not want to play lock. We could have had both. Not Mary or R & Rs best call. If we are looking at Robson we will find out on Nov1. Be better than Jacob Liddle from the Tigers Ressies.
Robson is contracted until the end of the 2023 season
