The Top Gun

Twitter joke I think.

Some DH thought it was hilarious & he calls himself a Saints supporter! Dimwit!

The difference with Maverick Weller and Ledger is massive, Mav is a big,tall mid /defender Ledger is a small in and under mid.

[saint6709]

Weller 182cm , Ledger 178cm not a massive diff there

[jimmy_slats]

4 cm and about 15 kgs bigger by yhe looks thats a fair difference

[saintsRrising]

Not sure how to feel about this...

See very little difference between him and Ledger...

Ledger should have stayed on the list and IMO if he'd played 5 more games we'd feel more comfortable with that

so if it's like for like or Mav is better... good outcome

To acquire Mav the plan may well have been that Ledger had to go.

with Delaney and Bruce on board we have an excess of tall and medium flankers. So Dunell will be under pressure.

TDL is the one left I gave least faith in.

Milera has talent and I would give him another year to show more

I did find this link though.

I don't know how reputable it is!

There's no way Curren sits on the rookie list, definitely in the senior list.

Someone will have to make way I assume... but Weller looks worth it, young and fairly large/solid unit, hope he has good disposal, get it done

[dragit]

I think he'd be perfect for the rookie list… upgrade him next year when we will have plenty of delistings.

Please tell me you are joking... Having a joke about someone joining the club means you aren't a Saints supporter?

My contact (not on Twitter) still seems to think this is happening. Taking a little longer than expected for some reason.

He hasn't let me down yet with his tidbits. Hope this is not the first!!!

I hope he's right!

I think Weller would be a good get. Definitely better than at least our bottom half dozen!

someone would grab him before us.....don't think you can rookie players before the rookie draft...but you can list free agents.....on your main list....

We have pick 3 so we'd be reasonable chance... GWS don't need him & Melbourne have already added Vince, Michie & Tyson.

I think Gartlett will be taken in the main draft, and so will not be around for the rookie draft.

With 3 top 20 picks, I think Gartlett would be too risky IMO for any of them, and will not be there for a really late pick, or rookie pick.

Aren't we talking about Weller?

From training today. Isn't this Maverick Weller?

Yes I believe that is Weller.

How fit does Weller look?

How fit does Weller look?

Certainly looks the part!

[Verdun66]

Mo Farah is fit. Probably wouldn't get a kick.

Question marks on other aspects of his game, but I hope as ever we make the right decision. Have read some quite reasonable assessments from Suns fans on BF who don't doubt fitness, toughness, and endeavour. But game awareness and disposal not strong parts of his game.

If he's trying to prove people wrong, and on his last chance, then he will be incredibly motivated. Rookie sounds right.

Looks to have the attributes of a tagger - maybe he can ease CJ out of a role

For all the flak he gets, I thought CJ had quite a good season. His disposal did get better....am expecting incoming....! And he does an amazing tagging job each week. Plus get a lot of disposals himself. But it's fashionable to say we won't get better with him in the team.

I like jones - he has done some good work - but he will be 30 before the season starts - weller may be able to transition into his role
