OMEGA Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Dom Young was good this morning vs Sydney Roosters and up against Daniel Toupou who’s an established international and top class NRL winger. I think that’s played 7 and scored 5 which even for a winger is a superb strike rate just a point of contention, he’s not from Uddersfield he’s from Wakefield but came through the Giants Youth system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo5 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Thought Gildart had a pretty good debut,plenty of involvement & some good passages of play in the first half but like the rest of the Tigers was firmly on the back foot when the Storm took over in the second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz39 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Imagine if we still had Dom Young alongside Jake Wardle, Will Pryce and the Senior twins? That'd be some homegrown backline!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastLondonMike Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Think the Storm definitely targeted the left edge of the Tigers. But worth noting that’s also the edge where Luke Brooks defends.

EastLondonMike Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Big effort from Luke Thompson in the Bulldogs win over the cowboys. Started off the bench but pretty sure he topped the tackle count. Carried the ball well and often hit it up more than once in a set. 1 Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

He did top the count and every tackle was effective. After the last trial where he started very well I was disappointed he came off the bench but he put in 64 minutes.

Jack Hetherington got a lot of positive comments for his performance tonight, though worth mentioning that a lot of the good work he did going forward was often off the back of a good run and quick PTB from Thompson. 1 Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

Vyvyan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Was a tough watch was that Cowboys vs Bulldogs match. Thompson worked hard but the Dogs are dullsville. Cowboys nailed on for the spoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Cowboys Bulldogs was pretty average to say the least . Thompson played over an hour and seems to be being used as a tackling machine , but is still underused for me for long spells with the ball which was his big asset . Good engine though in tough conditions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunbar Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Thompson picked up 3 Dally M points as the player of the match. He may not have played such big minutes if the Bulldogs hadn't lost a middle rotation option with HIA. However, he may have shown that more minutes for him is the best option. He did well in defence but his ball carrying is still he best attribute by far. 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

graveyard johnny Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 my worry with dom young - as soon as tedesco was attempting a conventional tackle on him as he was in open play he just stopped! no attempt to hand off or go round or sidestep see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very stop start , I think the cowboys pointed to that afterwards . I understand the offside if it’s black and white but in general I don’t like the overarching presence of the VR looking at everything , and basically reducing the role of the on field ref . The bunker is in charge and they basically control the ref like a remote control car . Some of these things are interpretation , and the ref on field gets overruled by the bunker . It leaves a bit of a sour taste that the guy in the middle isn’t deciding , or that his opinion is secondary . I think head assessments and the like should be held in back play as well Edited March 15, 2022 by DavidM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Instances like the ref giving a knock on then blowing a penalty five seconds later are confusing , is the bunker ruling there ? Edited March 15, 2022 by DavidM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StandOffHalf Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Sam Walker from the Roosters is also eligible for England, having been born in Leeds. There is Jackson Hastings at Wests. Euan Aitken has played for Scotland Josh Ralph - who plays for the Bears and is in the extended Bulldogs squad - plays for Wales. Jordan Pereira - from the Broncs - is eligible for England through his mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
