Players can have a bad season. Doesnt help when the team only won 3 games. Not many wingers would look good spending most of the game/season defending, under pressure etc instead of scoring tries. Not to mention impact of losing on confidence and motivation.

Bunnies have too many outside backs, he doesn't want to return to the tigers, surely the reports are right and we are front runners to land him. Also is a fan of Baz so sounds promising.

However, who would we offer from our current squad, given Storm are looking for a player in return in order to release him early.

They can’t do it on their own. They need class inside them. It’s what they are accustomed to.
Your not wrong, but we theoretically have Green who is a capable half without being spectacular and my feeling is we will announce a solid signing, hopefully Burton or Flanagan.

Best case scenario.

1. Averillo (plays fullback and kills it)
2. Smith (hope Barrett snaps him out of his quest to be a centre)
3. Cotric
4. Hoppa
5. JAC
6. Burton
7. Flanagan
9. I’d even throw a Canterbury rd hooker in there anyone semi decent would do. With or without teeth.

Zelezniak has no place in our team. 3 tries in 26 games. Plays the ball the wrong way. Not a fullback and never will be. Tits for hands. Shame we splashed the cash on him. Hope storm would player swap him or Lewis. Because hoping to see neither in first grade next year. That will Atleast give us a chance to avoid finishing bottom 4.

How do other clubs release big players so easily
Exactly, articles are saying things like "rabbitohs show Jimmy the jet the door" and no one bats an eye lid even tho the article says he's contracted for next year!

Geez we've had years of trying to get our salary cap sorted.. this whole time we could have just showed players this magical door!

If Roberts is gone that’s it. It’s clear as day addo carr will magically end up there. Forget arrow and the upgrades to a bunch of players.

Forget latrell and his upgrade and activation.

Latrell, addo carr, Graham , Gagai, Johnston.

With burns and the other two kids who went alright as depth and would start for us

Lock it in. Bet ya.

I don't expect complete agreement on Lewis. He's given me facepalm moments too. I just don't think the level of criticism is justified. People love a scapegoat though.

There's a real possibility that Flanagan and Burton won't end up here. We may well be seeing a lot of Lewis next year. He only has to impress the coaching staff to get the chance to win a place in the side. None of our opinions are valid when weighed against the opinions of those who make the decisions. Even Bellamy reputedly thought highly enough of him to chase him.
You are right about the level of criticism about Lewis, the coaches that kept him in a position he obviously doesn’t have the capacity to play should have copped the bulk of the criticism and bellyache didn’t want him as a half but even his interest faded quickly when he got a handle on Lewis’s personality
