He still possess all the attributes you refer too.
They haven’t gone away. He would benefit from a quality 7 to take the pressure off him.

I’m very serious in my gushing appraisal of him, even without a proper half.

And my honest view (and far be it for me to join in with the unrequited love you guys have for the panthers) is that he’s lucking out at the dogs and needs to come home to you guys.

At least he will have a decent shot at his potential. He’s a very special player.

Even if he initially comes for unders and you can do a Dylan and back end him.

He’s never coming back to the Panthers.

I don’t want any of the players who left us for more money, greater opportunity, or other reasons, they made there decisions and we don’t need any of them back.

We have won premierships without those who left, so fair play to the players who stayed solid and the juniors brought on by Ivan.

Most of our fan base have been very respectful and supportive of the players who have moved on including two key players now West Tigers.

Yes that’s true. We are shocked JL wasn’t in your plans, but consider him a bargain compared to what some players are demanding.

It should be understood we wanted him for many other qualities apart from his game. He talked about Benji, but the jury is still out.

No one can question your r&r policies over the last few years. It’s all worked out. Mysterious. I know we wanted Braveheart in our coaching ranks but he stayed loyal.

As for Garner, we all have a lot of affection for him because when he left he was decent about it.

Paps had mixed fortunes with us, but Ivan should get him going.

I am not up to speed on why Burton left. I just know it’s adversely impacted his game and I think he’s lost his innate footballing strengths. Lost somewhere.

If he was smart he’d head home and become the player we know he can be.

Sorry Killer, it was the dogs who wanted Braveheart in the coaching ranks, but he stayed solid.

Jason Taylor made a huge difference anyway.

Burto able to return for the 28 season, but contracts don’t seem to be working these days.

JL has some get out clauses after 2 years, so he’s box seat with that. I think we had to assume he is well meaning.
Makes me consider that he has some influence over team make-up. I wonder if he will try to jag more panthera next year or 27? He’d be in the know.

A used Yeo at a good price might be a safe player on the bench when he has to surrender 80 minutes due to age and decreasing power etc.
