This bloke, drives me nuts. Sporadic moments of magic but overall left completely dissatisfied. The bloke can't and indeed won't tackle, he shys away from the high ball, he would rather put a hospital pass than take contact himself, he is a chicken. When it comes to putting bodies on the line, he goes missing. He has been wasting a chunk of our salary cap for years. Get rid. Today he was at his worst.

The clanger he made in the corner looked from the stands due to him being whacked around the head or nose. I thought blood was dripping from his nose, but it was his mouthguard falling onto the floor.

We were weak under the high ball.

True, but he is by no means the only Broncos player who appears uncommitted

Far too many of them today, question is what if anything is Tony Rea going to do about it?

There is not a lot he can do until contracts end and he can clear some of the rubbish.

It is his job to get the best out of the players he has. If he can't do that then changing the players will make no difference. What you are saying is a bit like thinking a change of ground will result in more fans icon_rolleyes.gif

Nothing to do with changing grounds the plain facts are that some players in the current first team are just not good enough for SL and it does not matter which coach you put in front of them they will not change

Don't be stupid, are we jumping back years? Dorn hasn't looked scared to take a tackle or make a tackle in awhile now. This is why I used to criticise the selection of him at SO, he has improved from that and doesn't look like such a rabbit caught in headlights any more. The rest of the team isn't the problem, Dorn was fine defensively in general.

You have got to be kidding - he bottles tackles more often than not, he clearly hates contact, he is the original journeyman Aussie. Granted the odd decent try but in my eyes, that in no ways up for the tries he has been directly responsible for. Awful.

And today he wasnt alone. I am struggling to think of one player who put his body on the line for the cause. Ineptitude across the pitch, lack of defensive line discipline and organisation, head in hands time. So many poor players, too many lightweight forwards, too many school boy errors.

Yet you're making a whole topic dedicated to Dorn? Where was the 1v1 tackle that he ran away from today? As I count him making one, him nearly intercepting the pass on a 2v1 and a couple where they got the pass away? I cannot remember where I'd blame him for any of it today. He made a hash of getting the ball at the end, but we can't concentrate on that as it was 60-6 by the time that happened. He isn't as much of a cop out as he used to be.

Why? After being one slated as one of the slowest players on the pitch, only him and Dixon chased back when Tomkins did a quick tap and kick on the 20 metre restart. Where were the other players?

To be honest you could vent your fury on almost all of them! I'm surprised Dorn has been singled out, he was far from being the worst today

Regardless of how poorly or not Dorn played I am absolutely stunned that for a team that got belted by 64 to 6 that its the fullback who has been singled out.
We have a fairly second rate team and a second rate coach and todays result is the true difference in class between the two clubs. Occasionally we will play above ourselves and get a good result but generally we just aren't good enough all round particularly if we have a couple of our first team out.

Dorn is not a great defender either technically or physically but he does show more energy and interest than most of the others. Like others have said, I actually think he's made an effort to be braver in contact.

Michael Witt was the worst on show yesterday. Kicked dead from a kick-off, failed to find touch with a penalty - 2 oppo tries. What's the response? Head down, hands on hips, feeling sorry for himself.
