Apparently dragons want to play Luke and move Mcinnes to the backrow... Surely not!?
Move one of the top three hookers in the comp to play them out of position? Yep, that sounds like another Mary coaching masterstroke.

I honestly don't know what more he could do to get fired. If he was coaching us this whole time with that same roster, we would have started a riot by now.

I'd say that's about right. He's as consistent as they come and a great leader. He makes 50 tackles a game and rarely misses any plus his attacking game is better than people give him credit for. If Cook wasn't around he'd be playing Origin for sure.

I'd love McInnes. He'd be playing Origin if it wasn't for Cook. Was right up their in the discussions last year and I think he was even better this year. Will not be available for 2021 tho unless he's released early. Great competitor and I'm pretty sure he's the captain of the Dragons now? They have a few leader candidates too. He's at least good in every area and great in a few of thos. I can't say anything negative about the guy.

I love JMK too! Off the bench tho...
He’s great off the bench. But this year he needs to play the full 80, and be given the gig by pay. He will do a good job and is up for it.!!

A great mentor for JMK. Get him. One of the top 5 hookers in the last 5-10 years.

I'd go with Friend just for the direction and experience. Our 6,7 and 9 are still relatively inexperienced and don't know how to manage a game effectively.

Interesting.... What about Job security or if his form dips next year? One injury and its game over.....

Verillis would be a great pickup. But since when do the Roosters lose players they don't want to? Even when players are blocked for minutes and a starting gig they still manage to keep them all.

A lot of it depends on if they intend to move Radley back to hooker once Friend retires, if so, then Verills will have to leave.

Lol don't tease us
lol no I am serious, apparently we're going to be giving Jake year by year contracts, which is smart imo as he's getting on and we saw last year he only played 6 games. But I doubt someone with Verills skill and ability will want to play second fiddle for long.

You can only cover some many contingencies. Sam is contracted to us till the end of 2021, but we all know that means jack shit.
