Play Jack Rogers at 6 next year.

I'd love to see that, but I'd also like to see him play some senior footy first. After all, he's only played juniors as yet and it's a whole different scenario when someone like Wearea Hargraves or Thaiday is running at you.

No, he maybe a great prospect, but he needs to be bought on slowly and sensibly.

Say it as much as you want, he signed our offer sheet in May, just waiting on an official release from NZ.

That doesn't mean shit but ill take your word for it.

I spoke to someone as recently as last week and they said that manly are having a go still.

But as I said. Ill be glad is it happens.

Dykes is a touch biased, Tracey is from De La. Tracey is good though, only 19 but has done his ACL. Knee injuries can end it all. Would love to see Tracey at 7 and Jack Rogers at 6, both local juniors.

Rogers the local junior who signed for the Titans and played Yawnion before asking us to give him a go. When did he okay for De La , when he was 8?

Today it was on show for all and sundry.
I think he offers plenty but not there.

To fair he played behind an outplayed bunch of forwards yestererday

Pretty hard for any halves to shine when that happens

Very good player don't think it matters where he plays as long as he sees some ball, jumper numbers don't mean much these days.

Ooph. Disagree completely. Has potential, but can't be put in a position of responsibility. Really inconsistent ball skills, poor ball playing nous, and unreliable decision making. I hate this positions don't matter rhetoric. May be true of lock v prop, second row v centre, but all successful teams have good halves, hookers and fullbacks, with centres and wingers who know their defensive roles. It's not the team of athletes game people keep making it out to be.

Bird isn't a 6. We've seen it every week, but especially when we're outgunned.

So why are we not playing Bird @ centre?

If we are getting Chad and BBQ, then start schooling the kid now.

Cos Flanno thinks he's clever playing Bird off the bench. Did you see the pre-match interview how he gave a cheeky 'I'm very mysterious' look re: Barba, then stroked his chin and put him on and watched the team suck?

Has to play Barba at 6 and Bird in Leutele's spot sooner rather than later. We've been found out.

Yeah agree Barber to 6. Bird in the centres and Loots see ya..

Also I would put Holmes at number 1. and stick Gordon on the wing full time, I'd rather Holmes at 1 for his attacking flare and Gordon for his defense, Val is getting shown up big time in defense !!!
