The Spineless

AD is a centre who has a decent floating bomb, isn’t even particularly good at centre.

Hastings really just had a great attitude which I took as an amazing organiser, time has shown he was quickly figured out. I don’t think he has amazing football attributes to be a marquee/ representative half.

Brooks I believe has the most natural attributes of the lot, but he is cooked here.

Laurie is just short on every skill needed.

I’d let them all go end of ‘23 when contracts expire or free to leave now if they are able to find somewhere else, try get Burton (750, Moses (900) and Dykes (450).

Them add Hess (800), Hudson young (400), TPJ (650)

(I think those figures are pretty realistic, that’s 3.9 mil out of a 9.5 mill cap you can plug holes from that and there is a really good base.)

All of these guys are available 2024.

Team with only those we would of signed for 2024 is then.

History tells me it goes like this - API gets sick of busting his hump for this dumb, lazy, outclassed football side and starts going through the motions like the rest of them.

Not 1 winner amongst them…
Best bit of being a pro footy player - is all the video games you can play in the downtime

Well I guess it will be up to the Coach to get the best out of him and the rest of the players

Player evaluations are pretty spot on - fantasy team is just that…
Anyone who’s “worried” about losing any of our spine players to other clubs obviously isn’t watching the other clubs.

We’re 6 years off - and that’s being generous

Burton is also a centre with a good kicking game.
 
I think he's pretty safe under the high ball for the most part ( when he has his contacts in), it's just that his kick returns are not that great, hardly ever makes a break, displays no real pace, has poor support play, bad positioning in defence and gets rag dolled a lot.

He has a lot of upside doesn't he. I like the kid but it's professional footy.
 
I don’t know what people expect these players have Hardly played together seriously there has been a different hooker every week Laurie was out for a long stint doughi has been back for 2 games

If next year we pick and stick with our spine we will be far better off

Api is currently 1 of the best hookers In the game

We know what Hastings is cable of

Doughi is a great ball runner and has potential to be a fantastic 5/8

And we all know what laurie is cable of he just needs to mature a lot he can be a great player for us

That is a great spine give them 5-10 games together and we will look way way better

You had me until you mentioned Laurie. He just looks too small and too slow. He looks like a good reserve grader.

The jury is out on Hastings and to a lesser extent Doueihi. I'd stick with those two though.

Brooks career is probably over. He puts in more than basically every player in our team but he doesn't have the smarts to play in the halves. I don't think he is good enough to be a utility. You could trial him at fullback but only if he doesn't ask for a release and we don't buy anyone better.
 
seriously use will all send your self into depression if use don’t try to take some positives out of these hard times

Thank you for this advice and I mean it. I'm depressed right [This word has been automatically removed]en now.

I agree with this. We shouldn't be worried about losing any players. Can anyone remember the drama over Stefano resigning. Give him anything.

He might. Did you watch the game. The kid is a terrier. He always plays like that. You didn't even see his downside today because he didn't get a chance.

In a good team as your secondary half he'd be good.

You really should get your hand off it. Some people on here would knock back Reg Gasnier. Bad judges, bad sports and really bad supporters. Go find another club to denigrate..

agree
 
Laurie, AD, Brooks, Hastings as bad as each other.

God help us if we are setting our club up based around them
Douhi is the pick of the litter, maybe Hastings if he pulls his finger out, apart from them time to go to market to get new players.

Yeah I agree, was more just saying there is plenty out there if we can sort ourselves out. Our biggest issue is we are just paying blokes to much that aren’t up to it.
