Looks like a couple poor performances have made the position untenable now.
Seen some bulldogs fans claim it was only for injury but no way you play a 4th half (my understanding is haywood has come thru juniors as a half) instead of just a forward or one of the many utilities
He’s shown he’s got the courage to hold the ball in a crash play in the past. Probably take a few games to get back to some form, priority staying injury free. Leiataua back from injury too, will be interesting if he can sort his work ons quickly and get back to first grade
I have a question about the rules
In the 1980s on the 6th tackle set the kick chasers would be in front of the kicker but you had to let the fullback catching the kick run 5 metres before you could tackle him and not infringe on that space. Do people remember that rule? Now days the kick chase have to be behind the kicker on the 6th tackle and can tackle whenever?
