Funnily enough I think Tracey is more dangerous to us then Kennedy come finals time
Kennedy has a tendency to go in and out of games especially if our backline sweeps aren’t happening often which against top teams does happen, things don’t often go your way… but we could knock over top teams through effort and relentlessness to throw everything at them which isn’t structured and I reckon Tracey will be perfect for that
Tracey brings the same energy and enthusiasm in the first minute and the 80th. I could see an argument that they way he plays over the 80 is more consistent and his head doesn't seem to drop as much if something doesn't go right with the ball.
If Kennedy were back I would hope we still play that direct and power game cause the sweep play stuff doesn't come off against the better sides.
So Kennedy supporting up the middle more opposed to be an active ball player on our spreads. But really he can and should be doing both.
Since he's not even as good as 15 minute benchies and first year NRL players, I guess there must be another reason why Finucane is one of the first players picked by every coach he's ever had. Maybe he's just really good at singing the team song.
I guess it's possible that some fans don't actually understand the value a player can bring outside of big runs and big hits, but it's probably the team song thing.
Nailed it, defs the team song thing cause it can't be for his on field performances or so called leadership the last 12 months.
Forwards running over blokes, scoring trys and smacking them in tackles defs brings value to a team and we have missed it for too long but now we are getting it back.
While coaches are loyal and stubborn they do have to manage many things we don't see from the outside and know things we don't. They also heavily value leadership and experience.
Coach Gandi also picked Moylan month in month out even though he forgot how to tackle.
Despite all the insights and resources at a coaches disposal, they do make selection mistakes, it happens. They can get it wrong.
This isn't about easy in hindsight like the Moylan thing. As of right now Dale has been getting outplayed by other forwards in our team, many on less coin.
Ignoring whatever the **** is happening with the piece of bench Matt Moylan is warming for 75 mins a week what player would you drop from this weeks team to be replaced by Dale?
Isn't Dale out for the year? Why do people keep saying he is returning from injury?
Isn't it just Will who could come back for the finals?
We are arguing over hypotheticals that don't matter like any half decent internet footy forum
Burgo and me are having a knife fight later
Loser has to consolidate 30 years of missed tackle data into a pie chart by dawn.
.... using a fax machine.
