Rather than smugly bumping the old thread and embarrassing 95% of this forum, I’ll simply start this one and await the apologies to fly in.

I’ll reiterate my points from last year. His kicking game is extremely substandard, his defence is suss, and international performances against PNG and Lebanon are not form references for the ability to deliver at first grade level. The ludicrous hype around him was completely unjust.

The Kennel can now officially retire from the Wakeham circle jerk and move on with our lives.

Too small for first grade imo and he’s seeming to not be the answer but I’d rather him than Lewis until we can sign someone better. Lewis has had 60+ games so it’s unfair to cut Wakeham off under 10, just to bring Lewis back in.

Cogger was my first choice halfback out of the current crop and that still stands.

We should have offered a little bit more for Reyonlds. Some on here were saying it would set back Wakeham's development. The only thing is we don't now for sure that Wakeham is actually that good or ever going to be real good

If Lewis can get 50+ games, then Wakeham should get more experience in first grade.

Lewis has shown he’s not up to it.

All our options in the halves suck arse, almost as much as their coach.

Turn it up Brad. The Tigers are paying him 900k/year. It was good business that we didn’t come anywhere near that offer.

If we did then this period of decline would be ongoing until 2031.

I thought Cogger looked ok tonight but I don't think it matters much. Lewis, Wakeham, Cogger all have pros and cons. If you could squash them into one player we would have JT on one of his bad days.

Weren’t you one of the many who blew their load over Wakehams farcical Golden Boot nomination? I’m sorry but that alone cements your footy IQ in the negatives mate.
