Killers future - poll

[swoop]

Why does Hiku look like usain bolt when playing for the kiwis and an overweight slug when he's playing for us? speaking of weight Mateo could lose a few kilos too.

The Kiwis have beast forwards that give him time and space, which we dont have

As has been mentioned earlier in the thread, Killer has earned the right to choose his retirement year, be it this or the next (or even the one after but I doubt it!).

He'll know when his body is not up to the required standards of the NRL. He'll feel it when the body says "no more", even if his heart and head are still game to go. Anyone who's played and retired knows this: you get to a point and you just know you can't do another off season and no matter how much you want to you know another season is out.

Let him decide.

Wayne Bennett says to all of his players that its better to retire one season too early than to retire one season too late. It is really tough to judge that but I fear that Jamie may be headed for later.

I've met greg conescu on a number of occasions...and I think Bennett may be right!

Jamie seems like the kind of person who will retire before it is too late.
and he becomes a burden upon the team. Game has dramatically Changed in the last couple of years. Eg.Hard to believe Wolfie used to play for Australia.

I havent looked at all the replies but 5/8 is the way to go... 4 reasons ...

1. Other centres are running around him.
2. We won a G.F with him at 5/8.
3. His experience is vital.
4. And most importantly his running game will allow DCE to be more creative. Foran is starting to stifle Cherry's attack.

Lose some weight, get some speed back, and wala - Bob's your uncle.

If that's the case y does semi radradra and korobiete destroy teams with their powerful running and scoring tries??? Which is exactly what hiku or tafua don't do. Neither parra or storm have beast like forward pack

There's been a lot of talk on here about Killers future. So what do people see for 2016? I'm assuming Foran is gone. Personally I'm going for the 5/8 option as I think that makes room for the younger guns and killer can make up for his reducing speed there. The only concern to me is his body holding up.

We cant let JL go completely. 5/8th for starters and see how he goes, subject to his decision as the end of this season. Let him have the benefit like Cliffy Lyons and be a year by year option. The salary cap is mesing the game about and it needs to be ireviewed each year or clubs wont ever have one club players. I'd die if I couldnt see out my career as a one club player with MANLY or MAN UTD and I'd bet you'd feel the same. Go The Eagles and Go The Red Devils.

1Snake 2Taufua 3 Matai 4 Gutherson 5 Tom Turbo ( Form can decide where Hiku plays . No more automatic selection for him in 2016 )
Gutherson and Tom Turbo are ready to play in our back line and would be wasted in NSW cup
Killer is our Best option at 5/8 . Use the money to buy a quality forward instead of a quality 5/8

 

[manlywarringah]

Jamie played that first half like a man possessed!

What a great start to the game from everyone but especially him.

While i want Gutherson in the backline somewhere, Jamie's defence is still vital to our team.

If pushed, i'd play him at 5/8 and give Gutho a chance, plus he can also kick goals and may help with winning tight games that we have lost in the past due to goalkicking.

A real captains performance by Jamie last night.

Take a bow you legend!

 

[MadMarcus]

Killer turned back the clock last night. He is a long way from hanging up the boots based on that effort.

 

[brad]

Yer I'm thinking 5/8 so we can fit tom t and gutho in . He showed last night he can still do the hard yards and we need his calming influence and experience. His injuries have been niggling without being to serious and with a good preseason under his belt all systems go.

 

[bob dylan]

Lol at the 17 who want him to retire.

 

[Snake]

That kick was pretty special and very reminiscent of the sort of freakish things he would pull off 2-3 seasons ago.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

he's a centre
