Yes pls
So I can be part of the popular group critiquing the right player(s).

😉
In this thread my suggestion is: Will Kennedy

I haven't considered the concept of a sharksforever 'popular group' before, which suggests I'm not the one to ask about how to be part of it

?
I bet it's obvious and I'm just busy bouncing around between things
You provided some thoughts on what Kennedy may be doing instead of focusing on supporting up the middle, which is what I was interested in.
I’m not sure what graphs and stats have to do with anything either but you seemed interested in me talking about them so I made sure to mention.

So to sum up the last few pages of thread:

1. We all love Will Kennedy
2. We hope he plays out of his skin against souths by:
A) Backing up Brailey and Co up the middle
B) Getting his mojo back with attacking shapes
C) Defending like his life depends on it.

I predict Will Kennedy 6 points Daily Ms and 3 Points Sharks Leaderboard

I love this chatter about Will…

He’s like Brailey, Wilton, and Uele for me

They’ve been around for ages and do some nice to watch things but you wait and wait for them to hit that next level.

Not battle tested yet

Graphs - pfft. I’ve been telling you blokes for years that charts and quadrants are where it’s at.

This bloke is just an average/decent player. Just don’t think he has that next level. We’ve been waiting years and it hasn’t happened yet. Personally I don’t think we can win a comp with him at the back. We need someone better than that to go to that next level as a team.
I really hope Dykes can be that player. Want him to kill it in nsw cup and force Fitz to pick him if Kennedy’s form doesn’t improve.

A 2016 Ben Barba wouldn't go astray about now.

Ronnie (for Feki)
Talakai (for Ricky)
Hynes (for CT).

Would like to fit Cam in there but gee we had a good pack.

Feel like this describes Fitz and this team in general

Dykes seems to be different gravy but his form in the trials wasn’t that good, maybe that’s because it was him coming back fresh from injury

Dykes needs another couple of months to get his form/confidence back in his body.

He wasn’t perfect for sure but I thought he was pretty good

Some communication from teammates and he doesn’t try stop that ‘40/20’. A mistake yes, we’ve seen worse from better fullbacks.

And after tackling burgess in the middle didn’t manage to stop a 105kg winger on the cover. Be great if he did, but still not guaranteed by any fullback.

Safe at the back, overall solid.

If Dykes wants to play his way in front of him he’s very welcome to.

Out of position on one try where he should have been challenging the put down and a soft missed tackle attempt on another when the ball was being put down.

Last week average as well.

Slightly improved from previously years when his defense was really soft but for mine still below average.
