Latest Dallas rumour

From today's Daily Star:-
A so-called newspaper wrote:-
"Winger Brett Dallas is wanted by Stuart Raper's Cronulla Sharks"
Not much to say, except that Express newspapers clearly can't even co-ordinate their own rumours since this is different from what was posted in sister-tabloid the Daily Express last week. Methinks someone in Aus is randomly asking ex-UK-based coaches "what players might you be interested in from the European Super League" rather than printing stories with any real substance.

It looks like he is probably leading us to 7th position in the league. Not all his fault, though :doz:

is it though?
i mean recently dallas has hardly played as a winger and thats why he is no longer scoring a massive amount of tries for us like he used to. if he does stay then millward will have to do something to him to make him play as a winger and not a prop.

That is hardly his fault though is it! He has IMO played as a winger when David V has been fit. He was getting on the end of passes and scoring tries.
When he is stuck with the alternatives as centres he has little option but to come looking for the ball.
It is also part of the modern game that wingers quite often give the forwards a break by takng the ball up early in the tackle count in their own half.
So I am not sure why you would say it would be bad news keeping Dallas as we would only replace him with another winger who would have to do the same as he is doing now. Or are you suggesting we play a prop on the wing?!

i know that now in super league that the backs have to give the forewards a rest butin every set just takes the pi$$.
i am not suggesting that we should stick a prop on the wing but that he should not have to play as a propl as much as he is doing an dif the props need a rest then we have centres and a fullback
