Is this a sign that Phil Gould will get a job at the doggies!
We have Pay as coach, remember?Why we are wasting him at centre? He should be at fullback with Meany moved to centres.
He will have created the situation himself, we aren't forcing him to make mistakes in CC, a lot of stupid ones at that. Under, according to some on TK, the best coach ever. The fact is we can't keep everyone, that's what the salary cap is designed to do, make clubs choose who to keep and who to let go. Some decisions will be right (which we will conveniently forget about) and undoubtedly some will be wrong (which we will be reminded about forever). The way I see it he is getting "a shot" in CC, if he can't prove he is worth promoting then he won't get promoted. Keeping in mind that he has already been promoted once this year, from a Development Player to one of the 30 Squad, which involves a pay rise, so it's not like he is being ignored.Ok and if he leaves because he doesn't get a shot, someone picks him up and plays him and he becomes a great NRL centre will you then admit your process is rubbish?

Seriously, Meaney at centre, against Mitchell or Manu, very funny.We have Pay as coach, remember?
"The fact is we cant keep everyone"?? Fark me even the supporters are starting to sound like Pay. What a stupid approach to a 21 yr old captain of the reserve grade team who is currently playing good footy bar a few mistakes. The FACT he is off contract and shows potential means you check to see if this kid is worth re-signing or you don't bother wasting money on him, wasting a spot in your top 30 next season and don't give a stuff if he looks elsewhere.He will have created the situation himself, we aren't forcing him to make mistakes in CC, a lot of stupid ones at that.

Don't waste your time."The fact is we cant keep everyone"?? Fark me even the supporters are starting to sound like Pay.

We aren't exactly top 8 contenders, we should be using this ridiculously crap season to get our shit in order next yr. That means bringing in kids like Harper and RT and dropping drop kicks like Elliot and relieving injured blokes like Jacko of his duties.
I don't understand why you think that has to be in 1st grade, all of that can be accomplished in CC. We have a 30 player squad which covers CC and NRL and obviously not all of those 30 are NRL players now or ever, but we still need them. It's not like we absolutely have to decide if he's a $105k player or a $700k player this week, or next week or even next month."The fact is we cant keep everyone"??

Harper is a centre, so unless you are suggesting he play back row, what the hell has Elliot and Jackson got to do with him? The fact is he is competing with Hopoate and DWZ for his position and right now he isn't playing well enough to even think about him replacing them.We aren't exactly top 8 contenders, we should be using this ridiculously crap season to get our shit in order next yr.

Players rise to the occasion and Harper could be a solution to our centre issues. My point is why re-sign him if his not a solution when that money and spot in the 30 could be used more wisely. You do make a good point as to if he was to shine then we lose money on his upgrade but we lose it anyway if he turns out a fraud....I don't understand why you think that has to be in 1st grade, all of that can be accomplished in CC.

I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't give a stuff if he goes elsewhere, what the question at hand is is do you really think we can keep everyone?

Whose a better FB, DWZ or Meaney? Whose a better centre, Meaney or Harper? Case closed.Dropping Meaney for Harper
Now i have heard it all
There has been enough dropping and promoting and its done sweet fuck all.
The only "dropping" left for this season, is to drop Dean Pay off to Kingsford Smith Airport with a one way ticket to Neverland.
The shopping has started and its time to go into a frenzy before the financial year is up

Will Hopoate!Whose a better FB, DWZ or Meaney?
DWZ!Whose a better centre, Meaney or Harper?
He is not employed by us yet still managed to deliver something Pay couldn’t nd that is a quality signing.So Gus is already working for us i see!
It would be like a snuff film. Meaney is a FB or worst case a winger. I would hate to see him on the wing though against a Vunavalu, Tupou, Oates or Sivo/Ferguson. FB or ISP I reckon. I honestly don’t mind the kid as FB just needs to get more involved in second phase play.Seriously, Meaney at centre, against Mitchell or Manu, very funny.

Truthfully, they're all bog average Fbz!Will Hopoate!
DWZ!
I am not sure what it is but Gus has a soft spot for our club. Has always spoke highly of the dogs hopefully he will be a help in attracting more quality players for us its is a great start if he does. Gould is respected by a lot of playersLove him or hate him, Gus has always admired our club
