Drinkwater noticing impact of NRL depth at Wests Tigers

The problem for Drinkwater is, if another NRL team picks him up they will be a battler as all the big teams have quality establish halves and being a half in a battling side is the hardest gig on the park
 
Someone mentioned recently that he might go alright at #9\. That would be an interesting exercise for him, a kicking #9 at that, if he can handle it…

i know everyone is wet over gamble, but drinkwater has been the standout half so far in isp

Is this the same Drinkwater that couldn't cut it in our garbage team of a few years ago ?
Wet ? . . . haha. Very few of us got any worse than moist.

He'd have the easiest job for a halfback in that grade than any other halfback in recent memory with the pack that he plays behind. No wonder he looks so good.

He was killing it in ressies before he left Gunners… I couldnt believe we kept JLJ and let him go
- Then again, The looneys were running the asylum those days

I think we both know who was running that asylum Batboy.

Love your work!
 
Why is Drinkwater here? He left and came back?

Ok, so we have Brooks, Reynolds, Marshall, Tui, Gamble, Godinet…. Why is Drinkwater here?

He has about Zero chances at first grade here and a good chance at Manly, Easts, Bulldogs. Yea sure Follow Hodgson, but why is he here. Surely he wants to play firstgrade.
 
Halves look good and hodgo a good coach. This team should be one of the main chances this year.
Can't remember a WT or Wests or Balmain squad with this much depth since the Magpies won the club championship in 1991 with all 3 grades making top 5\. We had a team which would've challenged for the premiership that year if not for the injuries and we still came 5th from 16 in what was a strong 5 with us Manly and Canberra plus Norths and Penrith.

I wouldn’t doubt he wants one but he may have chosen to go to the place/people he knows. Possibly expecting his chance to come when Marshall retires.

You'd think the Bronx will come knocking sooner or later.
