Attack

I'm totally with you guys. Caine added spark into the attack and the pace of the game seemed to lift with him involved. Maybe he was dropped because he made the other guys look too slow.

Your not the only one Jimmy. He proved abit of a spark during the Knights game a couple weeks ago but would like to see him and seu seu playing in the team

Agreed, Hughes is there for his experience and kicking game but Caine and Seu Seu add far more to our attack, and I would like to see them used in rotation as Ricky did with Isaac and Kinga the last few seasons.

Gota agree lads, I thought he has been good, from the little game time we have seen of him so far.
Someone (a dragons fan) told me, when Dragons got him, theres was talk of him moving into fullback. Is this an option ?, Brown to the wing etc, would he play a roll like Kearny, and add some spark with room to move back there ?.

we can only hope seu seu was picked because his form was too good to overlook. because caine was going pretty well.
if seu seu goes alright i agree we are better off with caine and seu seu

I cant believe Ricky is sticking with Hughes?? I would start with Caine then bring on Seu Seu like Souths do Wingy, To attack the edge of the ruck when the forwards are tired! :cheers

Agreed. Hughes is a defence minded tactic....which makes the decision even more mind boggling. I know he is a senior player but he doesnt add any attacking dimension to a team that is struggling to score points. I've always been of the opinion that he was a poor signing when compared to what we had in De Gois. You have to feel sorry for Caine, he looks like a class player and was given little time last week and now finds himself dropped. Again mind boggling.

Caine did run the ball on the 5th from our 40 and almost got a turn over, and did pointless runs on the 4th a few times. Thats the only thing I can think that would corse him being dropped. At this very Moment in time I would stick With Hughes and Caine, Mostly because I'm not a fan of Seu Seu.

i'm still seeing hughes in a dogs jumper.
I knew Norfolk was a bit behind the times but getting last years games only now is just ridiculous. I'd complain about it if I were you old son.:D
or did you mean someone who jumps dogs.

Maybe it was in response to observing our handling skill set in the first half.

Yer, Just to clear up I wasn't saying he played bad. Any set where the ball wasn't dropped was a good set that day. Hopefully Ricky is Punishing them for dropped balls this training session.
