Not sure I agree. Although its not his primary role, the primary kickers are occasionally rushed, or get a poor pass / a variety of reasons why they need to offload to the man outside, who is often a centre (but could be anyone). In first grade NRL, I would hope they have the basic skill and footy IQ to kick it somewhere down the other end of the field. If he was trying to do that, and shanked it, then the argument of it not being his primary role is valid. That not what happened, he tried a chip and chase around the halfway line when we were up on the scoreboard against last year's premiers, and one of the most lethal attacking sides in the comp. You would cop that from a rookie, but gags really should be much better then that IMOAlso he shouldn’t have got the ball on the fifth tackle when nothing was on. Not his role to kick on the fifth.
He’s the only one left in the full time squad I think that’s not injured but too young, when it’s with a depleted side already and have no back up apart from Tom Cant who ISNT a hooker, I think that’s would be a big liability. It’s a big step up.I really wouldn't be surprised if Deisel Hagan gets a debut before the end of the year, maybe even next week if Graham's injury isn't good to go.
Any word on Graham?We are in a bit of trouble next week heard Crossland and McEwen are in serious doubt with a calf and hamstring.
So just repeating what Toohey postedWe are in a bit of trouble next week heard Crossland and McEwen are in serious doubt with a calf and hamstring.

Pretty sure I read this about Ponga and McEwen last week from you....We are in a bit of trouble next week heard Crossland and McEwen are in serious doubt with a calf and hamstring.
Please keep posting your updates on here, I think most of our members appreciate them.We are in a bit of trouble next week heard Crossland and McEwen are in serious doubt with a calf and hamstring.

I second what @Lefty said.Both almost didn’t play soo![]()

How good, i love the wins with the young fellas playing also. Far better them learning in a winning environment instead of what the Safs and best etc had to endure. Hopefully it keeps rubbing off and set an ingrained culture at the club.Crossland doesn't look like the most seriously injured guy here. I personally wouldn't worry about it until the team is named, they just sounded like niggles and all sides are carrying those at this time of year.
X3I second what @Lefty said.
