Totally agree and also his capability to cover fullback is huge, we don't have nrl ready backup in this area i believe

Gus would have him retired and taking up the pugilistic arts, or soccer, the way he goes down injured after he makes a mistake would fool any soccer ref, or better still acting, has academy award all over him. But yes Gus would have him gone already and he’d make Adam believe he’s making his own decisions.

I think AD is a very underrated player. At least on here

It would be incredibly irresponsible to re-sign AD, under any circumstances. He must prove he's not only able to play footy again after yet another injury, but prove his body can withstand week to week action.
A train and trial for 2025 is the best we should offer him.

He has to prove himself. Whether he's a great bloke is completely irrelevant. Currently he's nothing but a massive liability.
Unless he wants to join our coaching/support staff there's absolutely nothing we should do for at least 18 months

Just like the NFL. The team needs a gun Quarterback.
This is the tigers issue, we have no play making leader.

Most of these kids were playing up a year from memory. makes a big difference at that age. But yes, I expected more too.

Are you saying we have a coaching issue? On field coaching and leadership?
I looked at the team running out to play chooks and most of them belong in KOE.
I agree that we have a lack of on field leadership but that also appears to be the issue off the field with the club's administration.

Oh cmon guys, The Bulldogs have shown us the way here.
"josh Jackson" - Trainer.
Easts did it too someone as well.
The guy could have played for 2-3 more seasons but wasn't at that 'sweet spot' phil Gould wanted.
Nofo, surely a club ambassador role. let another junior finish with Chris lawrence having stayed at the club.
AD.. Sorry Demps, great bloke who has a busted knee and won't do top level first grade again.

It’s one of the issues.
Another one is that we only have one genuine elite player. The top teams have 5 or more.
Another is that we have 6+ fringe first graders playing regularly. The top teams maybe have 1-2.
Summary: our squad is weak across the board.
His defence is the issue
Nofo would make a great water runner
Too slow.

Apparently Addo-Carr wants out from Dogs.
Perhaps a swap with Nofo?
Similar players … both lightning quick

That is not an excuse.
Firstly, if our juniors are so shit hot, they’d handle the challenge.
Secondly, if there remains a requirement for so many of them to enter divisions early, then recruitment has failed.
You can’t have it both ways.
People are saying that we have a heap of guns coming through but ignore their results this year as they are too young to make a big impact.
Truth is, they aren’t any better than what other clubs have and that needs to factor into our recruitment and retention policies.
Bringing an outsider in through Fulton may work out in this facet.

Difference is, Benji had achieved remarkable things before the injuries.
AD is average before he got injured.
