Unless Allan or JAC play fullback, DWZ, JAC, Naden, Allan and Cotric will most likely all be in the team (at least at the start of the season). You can mix the 1-5 around if you want. Barrett has already played DWZ over Allan at fullback and if DWZ wasn't injured he would of remained fullback.
I thought that's how we got JAC because he was promised FB? maybe im mistaken?
then again Cotric was promised centre and that didnt last long....
I prefer Meaney there than all the above unless JAC plays there and kills it.

Probably on a lot painkillers.
Can't believe we paid him $2m a season. When you think about it we paid him $1m a season for only half the games because he was always injured.
So if you convert that to how much he actually got for each game he played then a full season would be equivalent to $2M.

Talking about Manly, It's freakin round 8 this week and Foran is still not injured....whats going on
Much smaller workload at Manly, he's basically their 3rd playmaker (4th if you include Schuster) and he just chills out on the left edge all game and chimes in when he feels like it. With us he had to cover much more ground.

Have to say Barrett has done well. IMO has picked up good players in the right positions without paying over. Some coaches are good roster builders others are good player managers. Des and Ivan seem to be good coaches but can't handle a roster for shit and nearly destroy clubs through bad management. Barrett seems to be better at roster management, let's hope he proves to be a good coach as well. At least if he improves the roster someone else can come in...

Doesn't matter, he's still due for a finger nail break or a pimple on his arse which will rule him out for 12 weeks or some crap like that.

Put a great roster together(something we haven't had in a long time) and even Fred Ciraldo can sit in the coaches box and they will still win games

Can't Cameron take him with him this year?
How many incidents is this now?

Offside with so many members for inappropriate behaviour.

Anyone heard much from George lately and that matter?

1.Averillo
2.Cotric
3.Naden
4.Allen
5.JAC
6.Burton
7.Flanagan
If Averillo keeps outplaying Flanagan and IF we sign B.Smith:

1. Allan
2. JAC
3. Schoupp
4. Naden
5. Cotric
6. Averillo
7. Burton

I reckon Allan gets another run there at some stage when everything is a little more settled and when he can play his natural game.

For me, this is relatively low-risk and a gamble we had to take....
Absolutely i agree and 2 years is good, he can earn his next contract with a good first year hitting the ground running at the Dogs, and maybe earn a few extra bundles of green...not gunga you smartarses :laughing:
As said he looks a genuine tryscorer and will get opportunities from our SUPERST:hearteyes:R half.
