Roberts > Henry

Robers' first few games ooozed pure class. He is energetic, fit, strong. When I first saw him run out off the bench he just had so much enthusiasm and just looked like he was loving it. I rate him.

1. Boyd
6. Roberts
7. Mullen
9. Gidley

That 1,6,7 is such a flamboyant combination and would be very difficult to contain, especially now that we can have Boyd chiming in when needed.

That might be over selling him just a touch. He did some good things granted, but oozing pure class?

Don't forget they've got Aiden Sezer too for 2012...if both he and Henry kick on, they are set in the halves for the next decade or more!

One of them won't get a look in for the next 3 years with Prince having a mortgage as the half - no matter how he plays.

I bet a certain Coastbloke is doing laps of his living room right now. It is like an Olympic class 'I told you so' this one for him on a personal level.

I think as a person he was treated shabbily..

I maintain we should never have signed him but we did and we've treated him very very shabbily..

It's in no way a win or a 'told you so' on my part because I'm still not getting the spine I argued for with the Gang of Four (and the rest :D) all over the off season..

Beau Henry has the right to feel pretty annoyed right now..

I've got a feeling Tinkler/Bennett have a little something up their sleeve...fair enough Beau Henry is not in Bennett's plans for next year, but mid season transfers during SOO and with a long injury list? It's a tad suss.

Yep thats the other problem if you're Henry or Sezer, though both of them will still see a lot of first grade games, as there will of course be the typical time spent off the field with injuries (if they were playing for the Knights, all 3 of them would be injured by mid season - insert Ian rant about conditioners here :p)

Agreed as it seems on the surface that Henry wasn't shopped around, so it makes me think, was a deal done between the two clubs and Bird might be a mid season transfer to us.

There must be more to it than we see as we've let two guys go that on the surface we need in 2011, whats Bennett and Tinks got up their sleeves.

I hope there is something more and this isn't end of story.

I just shudder every time I see or hear Gids mentioned in the halves........we need every bit of Bennett's track record to come good on this call.

Firstly: WAOW~

Secondly: WAOW~!~!~!~!

Thirdly: We are seroiusly gonna have a funny team with Kids and Uate in the SOO squad... Who will be our halves?

Surely WB and Tinkler have something up their sleeve! So curious...

It's hard to say if we will regret loosing Henry...when it is said and done the jury was/is still out on his ability. The question is what is the alternative and is there a magic rabbit to appear from the hat?

Henry's last three games for us were crap.

We will see if he can step up to dominate first-grade.

My guess is that under Cartwright, who has a very poor record of bringing through rookies, he won't. He will be a first-grader, but not one we regret letting go.

Just my opinion.

Thinking the same as you....if Cartwright does not produce something next season with the cattle they are bringing in he may be looking for a new gig.

If Greg Does come, and we get Bedsy our forward pack would instantly go from one of the worst, to one of the best, and thats without Wayne coaching.
