Gray is way better at left centre as we all saw the last part of the year he was moved in from wing to centre where he was a gun and a real bull and handful
It's his fav position and he played all his junior football there
No reason to put him back out on the wing ,Braidon Byrnes is the prime candidate for that spot

If Burns or Jennings go well on the wing in the pre season games, then I don't have a problem with one of them being on the wing in Round 1, with Gray in the centres, but if we see that Jennings and Burns aren't ready for first grade, and we have Goodwin and Gray in the team, then I'd rather Gray on the wing, because Goodwin isn't that good on the wing now, but he is pretty good in the centres, whereas Gray is good in the centres and wing.

Show me where I said specifically for 2017???

I said we upped his offer/contract. I thought it was obvious that, that was for 2018 & 19. That's why I didn't mention the year initially.

i'm pretty sure you have said that we upped his offer for next year! keep it real bro!

The Sharks supposedly were going to offer him $300K but withdrew!
They have a few good prospects already for hooker so decided they didn't need Cook.

They wanted Cook but Souths said they wouldn't release him, so Sharks had NO CHOICE but to look at other options!

What if BRYSON is equally as strong as Burns and Jennings in the trials?

In my view the experience should get first crack.

Actually it was Pommy who said we would have had to increase the amount he was on next year to keep him for next season, after I said we already had him signed for next year, so we wouldn't have to increase the amount he is on next year.

Then it could go either way. Madge might go with experience, or might go for the younger player since he has more of a chance of improvement and being around the Club longer.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jennings and Hunt are in the centres, and AJ and Gray are on the wings. Jennings is a pretty big boy who could use his size in the centres well.

See. I keep getting accused like they said I wanted Madge gone. I didn't say what Diego said I said about Cook either.

Diego is a lie teller.

You know Madge loves starting the season with experienced heads.

But thats not how contracts work,hes signed a new contract so neither of us know how much he is on next year. I think I said he may have got an increase. Contracts are between two parties and theres give and take in them.

I think the new contract would have been for 2018 and 2019 though. 2017 was already done. Maybe they did agree to add some more to his 2017 contract - I don't know. They didn't have to though.

I'm pretty sure Jennings plays on the right side ( same as hunt ) and Byrnes plays the left side
I think if anything it would be hunt right centre Jennings or AJ right wing ( Jennings being 6"4 and 106kgs
Then Gray left centre with Byrnes left wing and eventually Byrnes will take the left centre spot for himself then get a big tall solid specialist left winger

For all we know the 2017 contract was torn up and this is a replacement. That how I would expect a contract negotiation to work. Otherwise Cook might as well have held out a bit longer.

Would Madge really not have AJ in the side? I would be surprised!

Has dropped merritt and goodwin before. Hunt started over auva'a this year, i think he may have convinced Matt King to retire early. I don't think maguire is afraid of tough decisions
