Recruitment & Retention 2027

I said no to Dufty when someone mentioned him at fullback and Sloan on the wing, but he has improved and is way better than anything we have currently, he also offers heaps of try assists, which neither of Gutho or Sloan are capable of currently, but for next year we have Drinkwater who is way better anyway..

Drinkwater will need help, not having the right players around will mean nothing

What a contrast to our fullbacks
Dufty being handed a starting spot over Gray was a big surprise 90 minutes before kick-off and the in-form man did everything he could in his side’s 30-18 loss.

The 30-year-old recorded a staggering 312 running metres, eight tackle busts, a linebreak, a linebreak assist and a try assist in a stellar display.

Really need one winger and one centre from the lower grades to step up.

Agree 100% Justa. Drinkwater is a "prolific" try assistant player. Once he chimes into the backline, he invariably is able to set up the centre or winger on either side to score. That's why we desperately need to have quick wingers and centres to back up Drinkwater. Of course he can score tries himself by backing up a half back who is able to split the defence with speed and I'm looking forward to seeing this when both SD and LM join the club next year.

We should have kept Dufty. We miss his sped and ball skills in attack which is lacking so much with us. Even his defence is a lot better now.
