Relax guys, JAC will be another Nathan Merritt. A finisher who was just on the end of a good back line. Not a game changer. JAC hasn't shown me enough X factor. I will be surprised if he plays rep football. He is very slender and I'm afraid that he will have injury problems in the future. I like the idea of Simona on the wing. Maybe Ryland Jacobs in the centres or Cheeks? This also eliminates the need for Golden boy Rankin. Then, we cut Lovett, blood Masters or Paseka, and sit back and watch the lads win comps. Trumpy.
JAC if he can settle into life in Melbourne will blossom under Belly ache like most players who head south. Young Siro should have made the same trip if he was serious about kick starting his career.
As for Lovett while JT is at the club he will not be going anywhere and if he improves at the same rate in 2017 he just may surprise a lot of people. He was far from our worst in 2016\. Masters and Paseka look good prospects but they are going need to get bigger engines before making the gains step up in class to the NRL
Lovett cops so much undeserved flak. There's a perception that unless you are a gun you are a bum. Lovett will develop into a classic middle of the road player. And there's nothing wrong with those players. Every team needs them.
Trouble is, we have too many like that, and not enough class.
That's been our problem for a very long time.
