thebrewxi Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 3 hours ago, Mr Frisky said: Is that the same Ryan Hall who scored a hat trick over the weekend and still makes very few handling errors?..... while Young tends to make multiple handling errors each game. Now Hall has probably retired from England i would still have Young in the squad behind Makemson and Johnson- both of who are top class and alongside someone like Marshall. Hope the lad keeps improving. Amazing. I mean there is positive bias for, or against, the super league and NRL, which is perfectly reasonable and open for debate. Then there is this level of hatred against anyone who doesn't play in super league. Part of the reason we are so sH1+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why stating 2 other great wingers who are better players than Young is amazing. Even Bennett said Makemson was the best he has coached and TJ has been widely acknowledged as the 2nd best winger in SL - Young is great cover for those 2. I was in Oz last month and saw Young play - lot to improve on but still a good player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graveyard johnny Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 fantastic try by the lad - and credit where credit is due - having a great season and scoring some stunnas - that try reminds me of the offiah days when wingers backed themselves based on their speed and balance - dont mind a slice of humble pie as long as theres a pint with it - well done DY 2 see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunbar Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 A great athlete. You can work on people's fitness and skills but you just can't beat natural athleticism.

slowdive Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 We need to capitalise on players like this and get them known to a wider audience over here. More internationals are an obvious solution but there must be other ways we can build on English players putting in performances like that. Superstars get attention. "At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right."

Dunbar Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Will be interesting to see if any speed stats come out of that Newcastle Manly game. When Jason Saab intercepted, the Fox commentary team were enthusing about how quick he was travelling and Young from the opposite wing absolutely flew to get near him... not enough to catch him but he was shifting. Then when Young when down his wing Saab was nowhere to be seen in cover. You can usually travel a bit quicker without the ball, I would expect that chase by Young to maybe be the fastest recorded player this year. 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Number 16 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Best English winger since Stuart Reardon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMEGA Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 What goes under the radar about Dom is the number of times Newcastle make a break or score a try immediately after Young has stretched the defence and got a lightening fast play the ball, he’s George Burgessesque in that regard.

I remember a clip from last year where he put in a try saving tackle (before scoring at the other end on the next set) and his pace looked impossible, like the video had been edited for him to make up the yards. 1 I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post was ridiculous,”clumsy,liability” he wasn’t,he was a young 20 yr old playing in the toughest comp in the sport & making more of an impression than numerous more experienced British outside backs have failed to do for decades.

He was very good in the World Cup if my memory isn’t playing tricks on me … and he’s very good now . And seeing he’s still pretty early in his career he’s only going to get better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
