I'd like to see Wagon Play centre early in the season. Just to improve our defencive line. We already have one weak defencive centre, having 2 is going to be a disaster.

If Smithy really wanted Josh Davis he would give him the extra money and get him. I believe we have gone cold on Davis because Smith has too much faith in Graham, Burt and O'Dwyer to fill the other centre position.

If it was up to me I would put Mateo in the centres to partner Tahu. However we all know that one of the 3 stooges listed above will get the nod.

Ben Smith, Pat Inskip, Kris Inu, Mark Hendy, Brett Anderson, Joel Reddy, John Williams, Matt Gruszka, Brett Delaney, Daniel Backo.......

There are a lot of young kids who are not only capable but want to play.

are you sure Matty Gruszka is still at the club????

i still think we need another centre...Kent & Craigie are still on the market ;-)

I think most of us would much rather see our kids promoted than the above players mentioned.

BTW Craigie :arrow: Widnes

I attend the Wellington Batercard Cup matches. Joshua certainly wouldn't let you down.

It's starting to annoy me though that the nucleus of a Wellington side in the NRL is starting to be lost.

How many of us have actually seen him play???

Also, is he is asking for more money now, before he has proven, he'd be asking for the friggin leagues club plus a share of mounties next time around.

I agree. Unless his proud to play in our jersey and be associated with us for a sum of money without being proven he can stay in NZ.

Greedy? In NZ they are reporting that he just wants what the other reserve grade players at Parra get. Do you expect a NZer to play for lower pay?

He may be unproven in the NRL (simply because he's never had an opportunity), but he has made the Junior Kiwis which is not a bad achievement.

Happy to keep him anyway. Also hope we keep Leuluai.

He has to prove himself 1st and then the money will flow, but this just shows what he is all about. And thats Money. It pains be to say this But I'd rather someone like Luke Burt playing for us than someone who's thinking is all about money. Please keep him with you.

gee some of you guys are fickle?????

i think Josh Davis could really (and will Really) be something special from ALL of the reports of his play in both the Bartercard Comp in NZ and for the Junior Kiwi's against Australia......

and now, 3 seconds after half the people here were naming him in their sides for 2005......its now like, "oh stuff him if he doesn't wan't to play for pride in our jumper".....oh boo hoo

talk about negative and selfish and it sounds like he just wanted what our other reserve graders are getting???? big deal???

Jake,

you can't be serious??????

and if you are, you must be the biggest fickle person here amongst a horde of fickle supporters???

all you ever do is bag Luk Burt in every aspect of his game and now it's....."I'd rather someone like Luke Burt play for us, cause he loves playing for us"

this is getting ridiculous................... :?

too right it is TE.

All he is saying, which is pretty clear, is that he would rather someone play for us because of l;ove of the club rather than love of the dollar....and your taking issue with it?

At 17 is he a reserve grader? I am disappointed too as he looks a good player from all accounts however plenty have been standouts in the junior grades and done nothing. ;-)

He might be another superstar in the making but if he wants to be paid a motza without even proving himself he canstay in NZ. I read last week in the paper there was some kid willing to give a money back guarentee deal if he didnt play well. Thats what we need.
