PJ wanting to come back is not a ringing reccomendation for Smith. Marsh, as everyone seems to forget, has a severe neck injury, that has kept him out of football for 18 months. We are relying on a medical clearance for him first.
IF that comes, it's either us or Souths. That is, his old club, runing 12th and a dismal failure, or the spooners. His last club isn't interested -they let him go.
So if you think a player who may never play again, whose only other option is Souths, and who is expressing interest in Parra is a ringing endorsement of our coach, good luck to you. With thoughtlines like that, you'll need it!
BTW, we wouldn't need Marsh had Smith not ballsed up Thorman and Dykes.
