Would you care to explain how with an unfit Johns you went something like 0-6 or 0-7 this year before he got injured, then when he was injured couldn't win a game, but when he came back practically won every game thereafter?
Johns=Newcastle.
We were missing a lot more players then Johns..... Buderus, Simpson, Kurt Gidley, Perry, Matt Gidley, Seage and Newton
In 2004 we had a few injuries but had the likes of Simpson, Buderus, Kennedy, Gidleys etc... Therefore we just missed out on the 8
In 2005 we had those unavailable and were forced to field reserve graders to compete against 1st graders...
Quigley - Dummy half
Witt/Campbell (Debut) -Half
Hughes - Fullback
Tighe - Centre (Debut)
Smith - Prop (Hasnt played League in a while)
Lowrie/Tanner - 2nd Row
Mullen(Debut) - 5/8
Yes... Johns is the heart and soul of our club and we struggle to compete without him... but when its JUST him missing, we can still compete eg 2004
Concentrate on life without Stacey mate.... and avoiding that spoon
