G'day all,Personally speaking the form of JB over the period that Glen has been injured has been that good that he has been just about our consistently best player, to the point that we don't see posters criticising his supposed lack of size and effectiveness anymore but saying he must be resigned forthwith.My view is that he has done more than enough to have earnt his position in the starting side and remembering it took Glen a long time last year when returning from injury to show anything resembling good form maybe he will need to earn his spot back.
cheers mike

Same with Ferris and Gift. I'm as happy as everyone that Ferris has re-signed and he is the obvious replacement for Gift when he moves on. But until Jamie starts grubbering from his own half in a GF to ultimately create a try, then he's not in Glen's class. I'm happy for Jamie to replace Justin Horo now, but if we want to win another premiership before our team starts disbanding, then Gift needs to be there if fit.
