Mate i rate him behind Jones to be honest, with the talent Sheens has he should be doing far better. All the best to Lewis because he wont get a look in at this circus so he may as well go.
Agree- Lewis never got a shot- he can join those who never got a go under Sheens banner- Dunley is another.
I just find it ironic that in the year where WT actually had plenty of 1/2 options for the first time in 3 seasons after Prince left, Teflon totally screwed WT over by not playing a specialist 1/2, wasted the 2009 season for the team with his Marshall failed experiment, and left proper 1/2's to rot. I dont blame them for going elsewhere. They are following the path trod by Head before his departure end of last year.
Let me see what is Teflons vision for league?
1/ no traditional 1/2 back anymore- the role of 5/8 and 1/2 are so intertwined there is no longer any differnece now. Thats the jist of what Teflon and SImmons keep saying now.
Retort- where has this got WT in the last 3 seasons- nowhere!!!!!! FAILED.
2/ No need for specialist props- big backrowers can fulfil that role now eg Harrison & Payten
Retort- again failure in practice- WT desperately need specialist front rowers. Harrison has had to leave the club to get out of the fropnt row and back into the backrow and he has been ll the beter for it at Canberra. Another Sheens FAIL.
Now, its not just me but arent these 2 points the major need that almost everyone else involved in supporting WT can see need addressing? What do we get in recruitment so far? More backs......
Our existing backline is fine, even if you take into account players leaving.
Our existing backrowers are fine. Our exisiting 5/8 is fine. It is the 1/2and prop we desperately need.
All the best Josh Lewis- I hope you give it to Teflon & co on the way out. Humphrey's- do something!!!!!!!
