The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.

Lewis Dodd to Souths…..shows how small the pool of quality halves has become in the NRL.

Good on him though for backing himself.

He'll back in 12 months no where near good enough

I back Dodd to do well over there. The fact that our attack has been exactly the same since he’s been out shows he’s not the problem. His kicking is usually fairly on point, he’s just being instructed to basically do nothing other than give it to the opposition in the corner with them. I think he’s a very talented player and will do well under a better coaching structure.

He looked like he was about to be genuinely world class before his injury. He’s certainly lost a bit of pace since that which has affected his threat, but he’s been much better this year I think. His defence is very very good as well

Hope he does well anyway!

If people thought he looked on his way to being ‘world class’ when he was in his first 12-18 months in the Saints first team, I think that sort of highlights the issues he’s faced since, in that expectation was clearly too high. He looked like he could be a very good player but World Class? Not for me. There have always been too many weaknesses and not enough stand out strengths to ever think he could hit those heights.

World class half backs can pretty much do it all, yet even in the early days for Dodd, there wasn’t much of a passing game, much of a kicking game etc. His big breakthrough season was 2021 and he got 7 assists all year. He was playing in a fabulous team and played a real part in the success but I think we can file him under a long list of players ‘some’ Saints fans billed as being the best in their position in the country, when it probably wasn’t the case. It was the days of the old ‘Wigan wouldn’t get a player in a combined 17’ claims.

I agree with Stu/The Reaper, I think the way Dodd plays fits with the style of play in the NRL. It will be interesting to see what Saints do to replace him. It is not easy when you lose homegrown talent.

There’s a lot of things hanging over his head at the minute. Is he the same player after the injury. Is he being contained by Wellens or has he lost all confidence and reliant on Lomax and Welsby too much. I think a move away from Saints may do him the world of good. I’d back him going over but I don’t think he has enough to cut it over I’d say the same about Smith too

I pay no mind to a guy like Robbie, he’s clearly a deeply unhappy individual, with not a fat lot going on in his life. I always feel pitty for him tbh.

I can’t lie though, I pay attention to Yellow Giraffe finding the courage to put an emoji against my post but not to comment. It’s been a while! Come in YG, get yourself involved. What did I say there which is wrong? Saints were so flat in that first half and lose comfortably next week if they turn up in similar shape. Tonight surely only adds weight to that opinion, no?



Lmao. That put down is like as old as the internet. You made.an embarassing post that I laughed at. No need to get personal. Whenever anyone gets personal on the internet it’s because they got embarassed and have no come back. I expect that from the likes of zig and Jason. But not you. You’re better than that. Chin up champ!

It’s not personal, it’s truthful. You have a canny knack of posting crap and when you are challenged you crawl into your little shell rather than back up your idiotic comments.

All nonsense aside, if a grown man spends his time on rugby league forums simply looking for a rise from people, including from fans of the club he (pretends he) supports, I can only assume that in your personal life there are issues. Years ago I used to go to Latics games with a group of people and one guy would do the same and more often than not to his own supporters and when all came to all he had a breakdown. I’m not joking here btw, I hope you’re ok because the signs are worrying.

BTW-my post was spot on! If Saints play as they did in the first half at HKR next week, they’ll end up on the wrong side of a hiding, just as we did the other night. The way HKR played on Friday only adds weight to that opinion.

Not like you care what happens to Saints mind.
