point taken on board seano i couldnt agree with u more on what u said, i think Tricky wants to go out on a high as like so many other talented footy players he never got his proper farewell or retirement if you like to call it that.
the juniors r running the premier league and flegg teams with final say on anything but dont forget it was souths who appointed the coaches in Mark Ellison and Scotty Murray so they know who will be paying there money so they know what they will be doing is in the best interest of the first grade side and themselves
All sides wana have their best teams on the paddock week in and week out so the best players will be coming back 2 premier league and getting game time, but having said that there are so many young halfbacks under contract aT SOUTHS and Tricky will have 2 show more ability then then to cement a premier league spot down he has been told by coach ellison he is not an automatic inclusion.
the halves just under contract and not trialling for positions as it stands at the moment are Joey Williams, Willie Peters, Dean Byrne, Brett Kearney (i consider him a half but you can discount him if you like) Peter Taylor, then there are some other 3 or 4 halves trialling for Premier League and Jersey Flegg Spots, lets hope the year off has refreshed trick and u never know.... be very interesting when they have their first trial match!!!
