I find that hard to believe Max.

How about he mentioned his hand was sore and they asked him to consider playing......

No Max.

How about he thought he was right to go and just played....

Agree with this - a large part of our forward problems (besides missing a second tall forward) is the quality of entry - someone like Jimmy helps fix that problem from a wing.

Hopefully, a new coach will bring new ideas and a fresh perspective eg trying players in different positions, playing different players and not automatically playing the favourites, different game plan etc...Hopefully, this will eak one or two more wins out this list..

Webster plays well with the game in front of him, he is a natural defender, always has been.

Has the ability to play inside and outside midfield

Only been played as a back.

Time to roll the dice to see what he can do off a wing.

I vaguely recall jaxsons saying at some point that he was exclusively a half-back flanker. Having noted that - I've always wondered why's he's not been tried off a wing or even as a centre sq midfielder (if he went in there - he'd automatically become our best kick in front of Ross, Dunstan and Steele).

Webster doesn't have the tools to be a midfielder. Probably doesn't have the tank either.

Geez, with the tools the current mob in there have, whatever they've built may as well be wrapped in cladding. Cigarette anyone?

Confirmed back.
My sources have spoken to him asking about his hand and why he has been out so long. Jimmy said it's not his hand anymore but his back is "cooked".
Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play this year or at least last few games.

Problem is our CHOch is so unimaginative.

It’s taken him until now to finally give Parker a spell. This should’ve happened a month ago - likewise with Newnes it took over a year!

CHO is obsessed with half back flankers - he’d have 22 of them if he could.
