DCE and ???

[Woodsie]

Okay Coaches ... given DCE plays ... who wears the 6 .... give us who you think Dessie will go with ... and who do you think he should have gone with ...

 

[wombatgc]

I picked Croker mainly for his defence. He seems to be able to hit and stick more often.
If Cust got it, I could live with that also. He just needs DCE to help him mature.
I don’t think we need to discuss the third option.

I went with Cust because I am not certain Dessie will put Croker straight back in after his injury ..... but he might ..

If Elgey is dropped .... is that the end of him ??

 

[MuzztheEagle]

Croker wasn't named. Doesn't that make him ineligible to play (given we already have a half named in the reserves in DCE)?

 

[HappilyManly]

Cherry-Cust till Croker forces a change

 

[Nike]

If Elgey is picked for any other reason than injury I'm gonna Tonya Harding him for all of our sake.

 

[ManEagle]

I was on the give Elgey time wagon, unfortunately I fell off after the last few weeks.

The General against the Cows because I think Croker was not named.

 

[ricardo]

Siro.

DCE and Cust only because Croker wasn't named in the 21 and thus will not be allowed to play.

LG got dropped for a reason a few weeks back and only got a reprieve because first DCE, then Croker went down injured and we needed a halfback.

Cust may not have a first grade quality kicking game, but in all other area's for the past 3 weeks he has been a fair bit better than LG. But both are only marking time until we get DCE which should be on Saturday, and then Croker is passed fit.

I think whoever partners DCE just needs the best long kicking game quite frankly. When he is the sole kicker he gets swamped and panicky and things go bad because the defence knows he's the only option.

I think Croker has a bigger boot than Elgey and Cust. Croker is my first preference from the outside.
When he’s fit he’s apparently the fittest, so Cust will need a big game to prevent Croker returning to the 6 jersey next week

Cust reminds me of Tim Smith that used to play for Parramatta (one of the many juniors dubbed the next sterling)
I just haven’t figured out why Cust reminds me of him, maybe it’s just the body language when he releases a pass or tip toes after kicks..

Back to the point though (if I actually have one)
I hope Kane Elgey is behind Trent Hodkinson in our halves pecking order

Cust, until Croker is available again.

 

[Class of 96]

Cust for me. Really keen to see how he goes with a quality half next to him in DCE. Think he will shine brightly. His defence is good as well.

 

[Snake]

Now that I have calmed down after the recent losses, I am prepared to give Elgey another game.

Reason...

Expecting Croker to get an injury free run at some stage is long odds...you need a durable half that can stay on the field to allow combinations to build and I just don't see his body holding up to the rigours of FG.

As for Cust, I don't think there would be a worse kicking game in the NRL. Elgey's is only marginally better, so he gets the nod for that reason alone.

I think Elgey is creative and experienced enough to be a foil for DCE. I wouldn't want him there as a general, because a general he ain't, but with the Captain along side him, I think he can do a job.

Yeah he whacked up a pic of his airline ticket on Instagram.

Massive bonus having he and Jake in the team.

As STUPID as it was for NSW, so glad Fittler benched Jake.

Just.....no.

 

[frank stokes]

LG for me... gives us another kicking option... DCE will run the attack anyway and Custs kicking is horrendous... his time will come but LG for now I reckon...

Plus I dont reckon Des will be in a hurry to take advice from Andrew John's anytime soon...

It's a yes from me

 

[Briza]

The last few weeks was an excellent opportunity for LG to prove himself and cement a spot next to DCE and he failed miserably, unless he improves by 80% I don't want him anywhere near Narra.
