Re: Gold Coast, Ben Long

Supporters like this are imo part of the problem. Good clubs don't lynch their own at the first speedbump in a process. Supporters who think so poorly of our club and so highly of others- piss off and 'support' them. I'd happily buy another membership to cover for your loss but I doubt they'd be lo...

Since you can’t play 4 tall backs (we saw that disaster the other week!)

Which one of Howard, Battle, Wilkie at Sandy?!

When does Howard's contract end? If probably trade him if the side only wants to go with 3 mid/tall backs.

Re: Chasing Weitering

Forgetting the fact you can bank salary cap, front weight and back weight deals and some players don't count in full etc. 44 players. 17.7m Assuming it is equally distributed. $402k each player Remove 1.5. $377k each player. Not that drastic. If we have been paying 95% of the cap to date then the re...

Wilkie
Howard
Webster
NWM

Bonner
Stocker
Paton

One must be playing wing or inside mid
Stocker has been spending time on ball.
Paton could well be the sub.
NWM might rotate wing.

Re: Ins and Outs

Speaking of rest. Those who believe Pou needs one, would sub be a better option than twos?

Don't tell me he needs to find confidence and then in the next breath he is too confident.

Re: Mattaes Phillipou

My theory with young players like Philipou is that they are bigger, stronger and more talented than most other juniors, therefore they run around playing purely an attacking style. They then get a break in the big league and they play the same way, run and jump and catch a few grabs, and look amazi...

Probably not best 22 players but best 30 for sure.


I don't understand why so many on this site are keen to focus on the negative after a good win.
