We are dealing with Sheens, so here a few facts
1–Miller has no chance, if he has not been given a extended crack by now its not going to happen in the future, would imagine his contract will not be renewed or at best a second tier job
2--Humble is seen only as a stop gap measure, he would not be dropped to reserves if Sheens actually had him in his plans.
As for next year
Benji will wear the no7 on his back but Anasta will probably play first reciever, pushing Benji a bit wider and their is no reason why that will not work. The big question will be Moltzen and where he will fit into the side. Iam one of the very few people that would have persevered a bit longer with Moltzen as our no7.On the few games we saw he was defensively strong and Iam sure his attack would have developed,lets face our attacking game has not improved since he was moved and he was playing against stronger teams when he had the seven on his back.
Anyway anything is possible when Sheens pulls the team sheets once a week

He's had that all year before last week, there have been link men in the 7, they can organise the forward hit ups and the backline play, and Marshall can call when he sees it…
Dont need a genuine half for what we're doing, he'd be wasted, not allowed to play
You know, even with a 80 min benchie - at times were really playing with 15....cause we have no half!!! :crazy

Yeah Whoever we choose it has to be long term and we have to show perserverance with them much like we did with Lui
But people will have to be prepared for that this person might puts in some shockers while in transition stage
Here lies our problem, Sheens trys to innovate to much, he loves utility players our recruitment is a bit of a joke when you look at it we don't have specialist players in key positions instead of signing a solid 7 he signs centers that can play wing, and a 5/8 at fullback. If we want to be serious contenders we need a specialist full back, speedy youthful wingers and a number 7 that can kick well and organise.

Marshall to 7 is a 'no no'. This experiment was conducted for most of '09, and it's results read 'failed', 5 wins, 10 losses, sitting in 14th position.
Unless we want to regress to the days of missing the finals, we HAVE to have Marshall at 6 and somebody more than adequately supporting him at 7\. Look at our good years, '05, '10 and '11, Marshall was at 6 and he had a good 7 beside him who could assume key roles when Benji needed relief most. Tommy Humble does not have the natural ability or instinct to adequately perform these roles, and this is why Benji's workload has been as high as ever this year. Yes, he's a genius, magician, wizard etc. but what's being required of him right now is too much to handle.
Anasta has not played much, if at all at 7, but he's a true professional with all the attributes needed to be a good half-back. I would certainly endorse Sheen's decision to put him at halfback.
2013 1,6,7,9 should look like this IMO:
1.Tedesco
6.Marshall
7.Anasta
9.Farah

Just back from the BRET game, Humble played no7 and was given the keys to the car and was VERY good. Kicking game excellent,passing game excellent and made lots of very good choices in attack. Okay it might have been reserve grade, but he had the skills and was allowed to use them. Only if Sheens could get the message that you need a no7 to run the show and not Benji
@citizen cub said:
Agree re Benji @ 7.
However, unless things have changed, Braith will play second row. And the comments re: Humble and no natural ability, disagree. He is a massively talented individual and think he'll make a great half; like other threads, it's jut a matter of time. Consistency and persistence will eventually pay, Lui being a prime example.

Lui was consistent from day 1… It was just many on here wanted Moltzen wearing 7\. :unamused:
Its sad that he had external challenges, as I feel we wouldve been a lot better team this year with Lui still at the club providing that extra edge in the halves...

Agree this season would of been Luis best but not to be..he had all the goods,not being able to replace him has been a disaster and this has only been made worse by the coaches inability to settle on and move forward with a replacement ..his answer a different player each couple of weeks wonders never cease.
