Dom Young discussion

It's really good to see him genuinely enjoying his footy again. You can tell he loves the place.

Dom had a very short pre-season because of his broken foot.
I thought he would be below his best in the early rounds, but he looked as good as he was last year.
Turns out he probably was still building to top fitness in the early rounds, because yesterday was a whole new level for Dom I thought.
If he keeps that up all year we have to pencil him in as our all time best right winger.

He is such a weapon, those 3 tries yesterday, where he recieved the ball, no other winger in the comp scores those from those positions.

That first try in particular, the reverse angle is so funny. Dom spots that Connor Tracey is showing him the sideline. “lol. Okay then.”

Yea all he needs is a sniff and a bit of space and he’s off to the races. Hard to chase down

What makes Dom so deadly in certain scenarios, namely where the ball is already being carried at pace, is that Dom's mid-range acceleration is the strongest part of his sprint. He isnt particularly quick off the line and while his top end speed is fast, it is his mid-range acceleration that is elite.

It really favours 'draw and pass' situations where youve got a fullback and cover defence to contend with. Its why we have so much success from within our own half with Dom on that edge. And given his size, he is equally as deadly from close range because its nearly impossible to stop, with any control, 110kgs moving at that velocity

Good showing of what a truly great place the Newcastle region is, there is life stress and then there’s living in inner Sydney
