But isn't it the job of a good half or hooker to get the forwards moving. Always been my point of view. All the good forward packs in leagues modern history have had a skillful half and rake behind them. Hunt and McCullogh lack organisational skills.. a significant attribute I think you will agree and reason we are playing behind a beaten pack Eric Eric.
Definitely the job of a good hooker! Macca just seems to do everything in slow motion. What he does, he usually does well but so slow compared to other #9s.

We have one in ressies.. big George Burgess. Surely he is now fit for another crack. Play him as a bench impact man against tired defenses.
By all accounts, Burgess hasn't been going so well in the ressies. I think J. Hunt is next in line to come into first grade. And of course McGuire.

.. a whole 2 mins. we are so privileged.
Even in only that 2 min, Muhleisen looked very sharp from dummy half. Crisp, well-timed passes. Running at the right time, passing at the right time. but still, they had 41 points put on them so defence is obviously an issue.

1~7 pretty much picks itself at this stage. Other than that, no McGuire is interesting. Is he still injured or has Hook told him to sit out? Another interesting one isn't going to make someone very happy. No Jack Gosiewski even in the reserves. Apparently he's been really good is reserve grade. Hook really has his favourites and others who he just doesn't rate no matter what they do on the field.

Billy Burns back in the reserves. First time this year I believe.

Wonder what Gosiewski did to Griffin

Well he dont do a great job of that.
I don't know that Gosiewski can play lock.
Do we want him or anyone else other than JDB. Jack has been the Dragons lock since 2012. Stats show when he is at prop his ball carries, metres gained and tackles are down from when he plays lock. One of his worthiest attributes at lock is his ability at first or second receiver that adds spark to our backline. Why cant you see this Griffin you drongo..

Could really have used Lodge to allow JDB to revert to his best position, lock, but alas. I'd like to know who all the salary cap is being spent on.
