Well he’s Off-Contract, I hope we don’t.

This is unique. We do seem to have gotten the better buys.

Flippedy ‘‘Yeah exactly! Can’t believe he was left off the list! Ah how short are our memories.’’
WOW! how did i forget Benji! I’ll fix it up.

I am concerned that we have not properly covered our bases for the centre positions, especially in the early part of the season before Simona returns from injury. If Lawrence has another season like.2013 who have we to replace him?

BLAKE AUSTIN FOR BENJI MARSHALL
This is obviously a hugely poor trade for us however Benji has been inconsistent and has a talent for coming up with the wrong play at critical moments.
I wouldn’t though compare Benji leaving and gaining Austin. The issue is Benji has left and we need to find someone who can slot into the 6 role. It might be Austin but it could also be Anasta and based on last years form if we have Anasta in the halves I think we will have a very poor year.
Is our overall squad better - I think so. How much better is the question.

My bad- meant “better of the buys”
For eg hull taking Jacob miller for us to keep brooks is a better buy for us.I’m slowly starting to understand why they let miller go. However I’m still not happy with the timing.

Ayshford when in form is a dangerous centre, but we havent seen that for a while. I haven’t followed the form of Pat Richards but from all reports he’ll be a better option than Blake.
Again, with Keith Lulia, I haven’t seen him much. Joel Reddy was always a solid centre, but nothing flash. Call this one even.
Marty Taupau and Corey Patterson for Shaun Spence and Eddy Pettybourne. Better off on both accounts.
Nathan Brown and Andy Fiagatusa for Matt Groat and Matt Bell (assuming he’s leaving). Groat never really found his feet. Brown seems a much better prospect. Bell again was always solid, Fiagatusa is unknown but I like the cut of his jib. Only time will tell.
Blake Austin I’m excited about. His performance for Wenty last weekend was awesome. It seems like he’s really keen to have a crack at securing that #6 spot. In saying this, Benji showed us what he can do playing alongside a proper halfback. I would’ve liked to have seen more of the Brooks/Marshall combo.

Benji on pre 2013 foor is irreplaceable.
On last years form im hoping Brooks will be a sensation.
Also believe Reddy to be a loss.
