Haven't been missing this guy as much as we probably should
Good in the sense that the other forwards have stepped up in his and Rudolf's absence but bad in the sense that perhaps Dale just isn't as valuable a signing as we hoped
He is kinda like Tolman with more leg speed and while I loved Tolman and it is not a bad thing to have a tackle bot that makes some carries Dale just doesn't feel as critical to this team as I thought he would be.
He was starting to go better though his last couple games prior to suspension and I think is going to be a useful inclusion come finals time for his experience but I really hope McInnes's role as starting 13 is left alone - the team have been humming along nicely with this setup

Think though Dale's contributions are more than just on-field. Although if he could stop with the suspensions that would be great.

That's fine but could say that about Wade, Hynes, Fifita ect as well

Agree, no suspensions for Hynes please!
Somethings gone pretty tits up if Fifita cops one
Think we will need an 11 too.

Feels like his value was always as much about the off field stuff. Some of those early Burgo-stats around how well we performed with and without him told a pretty compelling story.
I reckon it'd be fair to say the teams improvements are down to guys like him and Mcinness as much as Fitz.

He might abuse a ref again
Headline will probably call it another junior referee and leave out context of they are considering them that as they have only done 5 seasons of NRL

Average stats last night, 7 runs for 40m and 22 tackles/3 missed tackles, hopefully he can get some games together and get match fit. Otherwise might be a long 2.5 years.

It is one thing I have been paying attention to when he is out there, he always looks gassed. Unsure if it is general match fitness or what. Was stoked when we signed him, but starting to question how it is going to pan out over the next few years with him showing signs already that he may not be able to keep up, and ultimately add anything to the team. In a way, he and Wade are similar at the moment in that regard. In my opinion anyway.

I believe so but on a reduced amount for the final year (We may have propped up the first 3 to compensate for that lower year).
He isn’t quite living up to his reputation on the field yet but I’m sure what he brings off the field in regards to training and game prep (together with Cam) is one aspect that the club wanted them both for.
