Realistically, looks like we will have to go for a cheaper, established prop:
- Jeff Lima
- Matthew White (Gold Coast connection with Cartwright)
- Sione Louisi (my pick)
- Eddie Pettibourne
- Martin Kennedy
Assuming we sign Matagi, Bozo's starting six is probably:
8. Myles (please no)
9. Koraisau
10 Lussick
11. Tapau
12. Matagi (wreaking havoc out wide, similar to Manu Ma'u)
13. Jake
That's five forwards who are effectively props. Swap Myles for AFB (which should happen) and we get even bigger...
no rat, just a Melbourne-based fan with no ties (other than emotional !!) to club. I watch long-suffering AFL fans (eg Richmond) go to game after game in the wet to the support their team, even when it is near the bottom.
We give up on a club legend after one bad season. Pretty poor.
I understand people are hurting from this season's result and like you I wish we kept Buhrer instead of Brown as our utility.
But this constant bagging of Bozo is disrespectful and misses the bigger picture. I recall Bozo helping this club when it was down over the years and achieving great...
I like Jamie too, but the reaction to him possibly leaving is over the top.
1. He hasn't been great value over last three years due to injuries.
2. He wouldn't make starting pack in any of the top four sides.
3. He has been a speed-bump on a few occasions due to his small size (think Junior...
Understandably, everyone is focusing on the great signings.
But let's think about the outgoings in last two years:
- Watmough: injured, headed for retirement.
- G Stewart: Struggling in Super League
- Foran: possibly injured. Persistent hamstring problems
- Hasson: Not even in Parra reserve...
Jake T will start at lock. Marty and Myles at prop.
Jake can punch out big minutes at lock, meaning shorter stints for other middle forwards, higher rotations and more explosiveness.
Several so-called expert commentators have mentioned a lack of combinations will hurt us in the early rounds, and even that teams will hope they play us early in season.
It's a fair point but I think they are overlooking the surprise factor we will have early in 2016. We have had mostly the...
