My favourite player to watch in the NRL right now. This little guy is explosive and has to have the best speed from a standing start of anyone in the league. Has scored some spectacular tries already in his early career.
Has played 13 games in his career for 9 tries. This season he is top of the NRL for line breaks and second for tries with a try a game. David Fusitua is the only player above him with more tries and a lot of his tries are walk overs. Also avergages more than 4 tackle breaks a game. (5th in NRL for tackle busts) Anyone who watches the saints knows that a lot of those tries are freaky solo efforts.
Defence wise he's really solid with around 80% success for a fullback which is high standard because many tackle attempts by fullbacks are impossible anyway. His defencive success rate is better than: Billy Slater Tommy Turbo Michael Gordan Moses Mbye who all have 6 for defence. and much better than: RTS Ponga Who have 5 for defence
Currently a 7/5. Looking for a simple 8/6.

I'm not sold on a 6 def tbh....I think tackles are almost irrelevant for a fullback, more often than not a good number of those are made in the line when defending the try line and most of the time fullbacks are on a hiding to nothing when they have to act as last line anyway
His positional play is hit and miss, without being as good as those 6s you mention, but I think he's pretty worrying under the high ball, especially given his size. Scintillating with the ball though
8/5 for me.

Im not sold on the 6 defence either...been nagging at me a bit. Im changing my defence rating to a 5. Based on what? Because he couldnt keep out Issac Luke from 50 cms out one time? Luke has done that maybe 50 times or more in his career to some of the best defenders in the league. Today he took down Tedesco one on one and didnt make a missed tackle all game. His stats are better than most of the fullbacks out there and i have watched every saints game this year. He is a strong little nugget coming across the field. I just feel coaches can be a bit fickle sometimes and get over-affected by one match.

Just very much a fullback thing and comparing him to others. Billy Slater is the best fullback I've seen in both codes, yet his defence is a 6. Guys like Tommy T, Teddy, Slater and Gordon are definitely a step up in defence eye-wise and position-wise over Dufty. To me, Dufty is very much in the Ponga level when it comes to his D....he'll get better as time goes though.
