Dorny : Wed Feb 20, 2013 9:27 pm  

Did we get to the bottom of why he didn't play on Sun?

Re: Dorny : Wed Feb 20, 2013 10:00 pm  

He was rested so we could put up a weakened team against Wakey.

Re: Dorny : Wed Feb 20, 2013 10:48 pm  

He is too good for this team.

I heard about this and found it strange to say the least. Tony Rea prefer Witt? From what iv seen which is obviously not as much as you guys Dorn has been a top player for you

There was a lack of speed in the team Sun which Dorny would have brought to the table.

You would hope he was just injured

I'm not sure what the general fans consensus is on Luke Dorn, but I do not rate him at all.

His defensive positioning is awful, I rarely see him directing the line and ruck from the back, average kick return and has been very error prone recently.

Yes he has in previous seasons got a cross the stripe, but I personally think his time is up. I'd take the majority of fullbacks in SL over him. He is not the savior of this team.

I agree with you, however, like others, I am more peeved that Witt is selected ahead of him, as Witt is even more of a useless liability.

Clearly, he is not the saviour.

However, he provides more tries and try assists than anyone else. Of course, he has his problems - though I wouldn't say his kick returns or his communication in attack are poor - but we haven't scored a point in about 140 minutes.

In any case, I would like him back at stand-off so that Witt doesn't play.
