good point tigermaniac, its hard for the fanboys to look past their teams jersey. Rhino has been pretty average for a long time now, not just since his return. If you do a quick search on this forum you'll come across him being bagged out before he got the injury. He has offered nothing all year and id argue he has offered very little for some years. I loved him circa 2005 but he just brings nothing to the team these days. I really don't think/hope we will see him in Tigertown next year. Simply offers nothing in attack and has no sting in defence, whats the point?

on a slight tangent which 5 starting players would you drop if given the chance?
1) Rhino (see above)
2) Benji - I know he is our best player and our go to man but i really think he just goes missing far too often for a superstar. Id just like to give him a kick up the butt to let him know he isnt a Kiwi Immortal just yet, roll up his socks and have a dig every week otherwise thats the consequence.
3) Lote - Just seems way past it and keeps his spot similar to benji, name value only sometimes.
4) Ayshford - Not totally his fault this year by being thrown in positions all over the place but his form from last year when people were talking SOO has just gone walkabout. He just seems like a fringe first grader this year just holding his spot and not playing out of his skin like he did last year. I reckon a few blokes from the reggies could step up and cover for this guy quiet comfortably and the team would loose nothing.
5) Blair - Again just a swift boot up the backside and dump him back into the lower grades for a week or 2\. Pull out some stinging defence, some cracking runs or give back the 500,000 and go back to Melbourne.
