1 trick poney.
Few clubs desperate for a fullback, Newcastle could do I nice swap for Klemmer

If Dykes was ready I don't hate that. I don't think he is though.

 

[puma1355]

With dykes and miller we dont need him. He will want a min $400-$500k

 

[The Punisher]

Be very disappointed if he is re-signed

He will be

Yeah Kennedy isn't the reason we lost. Not saying Dykes is better but you don't let him go unless you have a better replacement.

Yep agree. I'd only extend for one year but he'll probably want longer. Will be interesting to see what happens.

 

[CHOGM]

Kennedy came off a long injury lay off and a brutal game which he played well in and then he had one bad game. And he was not alone. We're not letting him ago.

Reckon we'll be offering less now than we would have a few months ago. That's my hunch

Glad the club didn’t rush into it. I think we have him signed till next year? Throw him a one year extension, maybe an upgrade, and see how him and Dykes progress.

A good ol’ fashioned Fullback-off will be good them both.

 

[Super Impose]

I don’t agree with Gus very much but I agree with him that Dykes looks ready for NRL now and needs to play.

Whether that is at 6 or 1 I am not sure but Will has to be on notice ..

I agree.. kid looks special don’t give him the trindall treatment and play him off the bench

When did he say that?

 

[puma1355]

Dykes didnt stay on to play for newtown

I wouldn’t be offering anything. Send him to the knights in a swap for Klemmer for next season

Might be a bit slow at fullback I reckon.

 

[Flanno]

His last line of defence though might go alright

 

[Sparkles]

His last line of defence though might go alright

Reckon he could organise our defence pretty effectively too

 

[snowman]

Dykes didnt stay on to play for newtown

because he is injured

Kennedy came on leaps and bounds last year, and became an absolute lynch pin of our attack through those sweeping plays. He also defuses kicks as safely as Barba, which is amazing to have at the back. This year, he continued to do those things, but they had become expected of him, which is why I think a few of his flaws were noticed more.

He doesn't possess the elite physical attributes of many of the top fullbacks, so if he wants to hit that next level he needs to model himself off Gutho. Gutho is all heart and effort on the field and makes up for what he lacks in size and strength. I don't think Will has that desire and effort in him though.

Never know though, he apparently credited the competition from Tracey for Fullback in his big step up last year. Hopefully some real competition in Dykes will make it happen.
