I’m no lefty and I don’t think what he said is overly racist but when you start generalising like that it’s a slippery slope. If I said a white player will go to a certain club because there are more white players there would that be racist?
I get what you’re saying mate and agree but it’s true in a non-offensive way

Go back and look at his posting history, idk why you feel the need to defend him lol.
I haven’t seen that or would pull whoever up but if I’m not offended I don’t see how anyone else would be

I'm not offended, I just can't help but pick out his posts when I come across them.

I agree mate and I’m worried about that too
Im not to worried tbh… I already cant choose between Carr and Lewis as both have some pretty strong pros and cons about them. The bigger issue for me which I don't think many have recognised is that you totally stun the progress of Okunbor and Meaney who might be as good if not better than Carr in a couple of years. If Lewis, Okunbor and Meaney become quality first graders is Carr worth it?

Whatever happens happens I guess but im not to fussed if we don't end up with a winger when we are desperate in other areas.

In my personal opinion - Meaney will become a liability under the new laws of the game with respect to jumping.

His speed is phenomenal, and wouldn't mind him on the bench in the role of lil Papa last season. But he will get found out and out-jumped eventually. He was played a limited number of games on the wing towards the back end of last season. Once he is found out, it will become as known weakness, much like Utai post the Cowboys 04 semi.

Meaney is taller than JAC, just saying.

But he is a specialist winger.

He came through grades as a winger. He made his debut on the wing, and continued onto representative honours as a winger.

Position-wise, he would have a better understanding of the nuances with how to defend kicks, when to come off his wing etc. Whilst a good offseason may help attribute to Meaney becomig a better winger, JAC still has oodles of experience when it comes to playing competitively in that position.

And for me, that is a huge difference.

I get what you're saying, but Meaney imo doesn't really struggle in the air. He knows how to safely take a bomb and he can catch a ball above his head with outstretched arms. It is defenitely something to look at with the rule change though, I just don't think it's much of a concern with Meaney.

That speed would make a lot of X factor difference than we need but we don’t want to screw ourselves in other areas too and what’s to say he doesn’t want to link up with Souths etc mid contract

You think we need speed? I think we are ok in that department,i reckon our problem is our speed men don't have that back up nous but that can definitely be taught.

I think we need someone that can create something given half an opportunity like I hate to say his name, Barba

That guy would be fantastic... Is Carr that guy though? I always said JAC would make a good FB considering his got some ball skills to match his speed but don't think he would offer more than DWZ atm.

I seriously think we should keep holding onto our cap until atleast mid way next yr, wayyyy to many questions to ask of so many young guys looking at break out seasons and others trying to cement first grade spots. As I have said before we still don't know what we need to buy...

It’s a tough one isn’t it. I have been concerned the club would buy a marquee for the wrong reasons and I know a winger isn’t essential. A lot will depend on what happens with other clubs as well as what the dogs have planned. Interesting times ahead!

Who in our team has genuine pace over 0-10, 0-40 and up to 100m? We are the slowest team I reckon
