Stevens was approached yesterday by Raper according to reports but knocked back any plans of playing again.
This is hugely worrying and shoes our lack of "masterplan" at the club, what a knee jerk reaction !!?? if they NEEDED stevens , the time to do it with a big offer was 8 months ago, it shows we had no buying plan, or no ability to secure the players we werre in the hunt for.
8. ROSS ( needs to lift considerably on the soft, marshmellow form he's shown the past 18months to be classed a genuine first grade ,up the guts go forward man)
10. Most likely HUTCH based on this years selections....definately should be in our top 17, but a bench prop at his most effective, definately no answer to starting prop concerns
Then who ?
Bench players, that's what,
CLIFF, Harlen and DOuglas, maybe Mapp, but a backrower probably.
Thompson is a backrower if we get him.
About the shallowest front row I've seen in ANY NRL team for 10 years, very very concerning.
Our " STAR" Prop is Ben Ross.......HE was an afterthought after he was pushed out late by the panthers....Geezuz ! what would we have done but for that piece of luck !? what was our plan before the pennies dumped Ross late in the silly season ????
And Ben Ross our star ?? my goodness, he'd wanna find some grunt and form, cause on previous seasons he's one washed up show pony who commands ZERO respect from opposing packs.
