AJ is a big loss

It doesn't matter one iota what players from the season's "dud" sides do at this late stage. Some players love this pointless stage of the season & the opportunity to take advantage!!
We thrashed the Dogs & the Dogs come out & mauled Manly--it's typical. It makes sense.
I don't give any credibility to failed sides who try & chase the horse after it's bolted into the distance!!
Well next year for the first 10 rounds Cook should be given the no.9.

A player like cook needs an 80 minute gig. I reckon we should keep AJ at fullback and cook at 9. It can work so just do it. It's a better performing spine.
I do think Madge will go for GI at fullback. I think his days are over there though!

It'd be better on his body and he'd have more chance of staying on field more in the season by playing at left centre. He doesn't just need to stay there when we have the ball though. At times he can come into the middle looking for opportunities!!!!!!

Madge has to think things through really and we have to start well in 2018. No excuses!!!!!!

We have 3 top quality backs in AJ GI and Gagai.

We have a fast energetic hooker in Cook he needs more opportunity early in the season......

We have a premiership winning half who needs to improve his kicking and I know he can do it too!!!!!! Got to get back to those repeat sets!!!!

Cody can just play naturally!!!!

We have the twins who will have a point to prove in 2018 I reckon plus Musgrove will want to keep getting better and the big one is Sam will be playing prop for us and really helping us fix the position that has been a bit of a problem for us! Plus Gosiewski can play prop too!!!!

Then comes the back row in Crichton, Murray, Fuimaono, Sutton, Turner and Britt.

Turner next season should be used on limited mins off the bench say 25mins and that's it.

Clark should only be used if injuries strike.



If a half goes down injured next season I want to see no more of Sutto at 6 but play Douehi.

I also wouldn't mind it if around the origin period we give a few games to Sam Johnstone if we need too!!!!!




What happens with Farah I'm not too sure. If Farah goes we need to find another back up hooker!!!!! I'm not sure what's out there though and personally I don't want Lichaa.....

If Madge puts GI at fullback then he has really lost it. We need GI in the centres. AJ is a better fullback than Gagai. I think Gagai has to play on the wing only because his kick returns are so good.

Heard on the footy show and one of em spoke to Gagai and he said he will be playing centre..... (well that's his favourite position)

Let's not rule him out yet.

But funny how so many people (the obvious ones too) were blowing up on here saying he'd never be a good fullback lol.

He's definitely proving them wrong this year.
The Shadow Man and others were hammering Alex for months this season. Another "dud" they cried. Never shut up about the lad. Shadow Man also berated young Jack Goswieski demoted him to a "dud" too. Well BOTH these young guys were two of the best The Crisps had v. the NZ Malakas.

1. AJ
2. Gagai
3. Hunt
4. GI
5. Graham

Best current backline IMO. Gagai only goes to the wing because Hunt can't play there and we have no one else.

Johnson has just started to fire at FB. He is still very very young but his form has improved markedly. Inglis is a major question mark he may be knackered and not really interested in football any longer. I leave Johnson at FB and if available start Inglis at 5/8 OR in The Centre.
No not GI at 5/8. Has to be centre.

I believe Madge will play him at FB though......

Gagai??? He won the MVP in the SOO did he not??? That's pretty good form so what the heck are you worrying about with him???

Yeah but I encourage you to watch a Newcastle game of him playing at centre Greg. He is an attacking weapon but his defence isn't the greatest. Fullback and wing hides these flaws the best.
