Damien Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 5 hours ago, The Rocket said: Agreed, his problems have absolutely nothing to do with confidence, i.e. ridiculous captains challenge, kicking out from kick-off on full, letting Dufty get underneath him for try and there was another I can`t put my finger on, but a player who lacks the ability to stay focused for the whole 80 minutes. I had big hopes for him when he first came onto the scene but at this stage he is nowhere near a first grade full-back and I`m starting to wonder whether he lacks the ability to be focused enough to play first grade. His positioning issues certainly seem to be caused, or exacerbated, by a lack of focus and concentration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost crayfish Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) 9 hours ago, Dunbar said: I think it's harsh to say Isaako has been poor defensively, who hasn't been in the Broncos this year. He has been the most dangerous player the Broncos have had for me, at least he worries the opposition defence every now and again unlike the rest of their spine. But I am happy to see Farnworth get a run. True, but it's also the fullback's job to organise the defensive line... I don't want him dropped forevermore, he does plenty of good things too. But it's fair to say there's areas he needs to improve on to cement a fullback spot. Throw in that absolute shocker last week, and I'm not surprised he's dropped. Now the chance is Farnworth's and I'm excited to see what he's got there. Edited June 9, 2021 by ghost crayfish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young also had that chance at the end, although there were covering defenders so it wasn’t a clear cut chance. He’s had some good hit ups, although has been exposed a couple of times on the outside but Souths couldn’t make it stick.

I also think he is a better (right) centre then he is winger as his hands are very good as well. Although I expect he is glad he is not defending that Souths left side attack!

Dunbar Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Coates ruled out in the warm up for the Broncos so a reshuffle has seen Farnworth on to the wing. Pity, I was looking forward to seeing him at full back. "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

True, although he can’t be any worse defender than Tuala. Young Young showed up well in defence in the second half, bar a late missed tackle at the end of the game.

Southerner Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) I heard the commentator say Dom Young will be playing for Jamaica at the World Cup. From what I’ve seen his stamina is his biggest challenge. Often appeared out of breath and had some cramp issues with about 10 to go. Very we’ll taking try though and will continue to learn.
