Chase Luke "the tackler" Dorn?? No thanks!! The guy is the biggest defensive liability I've ever seen (yes, bigger even than Preston Campbell!) - In his recent first grade game I think he missed 6 or 7 tackles... that is just hopeless!!!
I think we do need to look at a replacement backup hooker - I don't rate Muspratt - even in the Manly game he looked ordinary, he just ran around a little bit in the last 20 minutes and backed up to score the 50 pointer! But he's slow and unskilfull.
Hopkins has more pace and is a good defender (perhaps a bit small for a second rower) - but can he play the role of hooker consistently? Perhaps if we told him that's what we wanted him to do, and if he took a pay cut to try it then I'm all for keeping him - he's at least got some playmaking skills!
Please release "duds" Dykes - the guy is hot and cold and we'll never be a top 4 team with him - his inconsistency will cost us, we'll win some big games, and lose some easy games with his random cross-field style....
Stapleton - what does he offer except his head as a punching bag? No, that's harsh - he's been really good this year, but has no particular stand-out skill and I think that Chris Armit offers us everything Stapo does and then some - by Stapo and let Armit develop in Premmies for a couple of years
Langi - I'd like to keep him round, but that depends on how they see the young guns going in the next couple of years - Langi would be handy if we had an injury in the centers - but if B Smith or Graham is going to stand up and be counted maybe Langi needs to go
Prince - highly exciting player, sign him to a Premier league contract for next year, can't imagine anyone knocking down his door to sign him up considering he's been injured all year
) Burt or Graham will probably play fullback
