Official William Kennedy

[Western Sharkie]

WK will want some job security so I can understand why he wouldn’t take a 1 yr deal

 

[Jasonstevenswedgie]

1 year unless he learns to tackle

 

[Sir Chadley]

1 year unless he learns to tackle

You didn't see his tackle on Averillo in the trial mate?

 

[Gards]

A hatrick doesn't always necessarily net you best player or 321 honors but Kennedy was pivotal in that game and was probably his best performance to date.

From an individual perspective anyway not a play making one. Kept it simple and didn't obsess about the sweep play out the back. We created numbers on the edges and exploited some loose Parra defense which was quite compressed in the middle.

He didn't have any line break assists or try assits but he wasn't trying to play like a 3rd halfback and create as much as just hit holes and support the ball carrier and I am ok with that as he did it very well. We know he is a good play maker on his day as well.

Defense could be the thing that holds him back from ascending to being that next level of full back but he had little to no chance on some of those Parra trys

Dykes is a weapon - different style of player then Kennedy

If you can somehow have a combination of Kennedy,Dykes,Trindall and Hynes on the field at the same time it will be game over for a lot of teams

Until Kennedy is consistent and also picks up his defensive game, he isn't a must have.

Dykes, Trindall, Hynes must be kept. But for the sake of discussion, the only way to keep those 4 your mentioned on the field at the same time is if Trindall is hooker I think?

dykes again isnt great in defence

dunno, the more i think of healthy WK and the other fullbacks in the comp, the more happy I am to keep him unless we get RTS at 31 years old on a 3 year deal

 

[Proud Shark]

A two year extension has become a no brainer. Even a mutual 3rd year wouldn't be the worst outcome.

Maybe a 2 yr extension and 3rd yr option in clubs favour

Not sure if WK will go for it thou

 

[Gumby]

If brailey doesn’t workout maybe we can turn trindall into a hooker.

Not sold on the idea of Trindall to hooker personally, don't think he'd be better than Blayke

Would definitely need to work on those small grubber kicks into the in goal area if he did move to hooker.

Not sure why this is in the Will Kennedy thread thou

he has become the forum flogging boy. Different to the whipping boy because the whipping boy gets whipped but for the other guy apparently you have to flog yourself

You not sold on it because it's a silly idea.

did you see his attempt on deardon in the semi final?

the tackle on averillo was awesome but also very lucky, was impressed that he put in the effort to get there but i have also seen every tackle or lack there of since. he misses just as many as he makes.

which i dont think is good enough

i dont think he should be stopping rcg one on one but he should be stopping the deardon ones

No need. Brailey has worked out.

we all did, when he was injured

he isnt injured now, and his form is showing that

blind freddy knows he shouldnt have played in the finals last year

 

[Jasonstevenswedgie]

so whats his excuse for missing over 50% of his tackles this year?

made 11

missed 6

ineffective 1

Just thought I'd point out that making 11 of 18 tackles isn't missing over 50%

probably the same excuse that teig wilton missed 8 tackles in a game lad. you arent in his thread

 

[snowman]

Tom Turbo round 1

Made 1 tackle

Missed 4

its like fullbacks, going one on one with a player who has broken through the defensive line doesnt really stand a chance
