Yes yes yes now let's try and convince jetski .maybe the fact that. Jason liked Nona is the reason jetski won't give him a chance

What would happen if God forgive McCrone is injured, does coach have a plan B or does he just drop Mann in the spot

Time is up for Mary to get his half back .every man and his dog can see mcgroan won't cut it when we play the big boys in the finals.Mary Mary Mary time to give Field or Mann .how old is Willis because he's right up there that kid .turns 18 this year.maybe another year or two but he's very very cheeky halfback
After watching Willis in the 20's he is streets ahead of M'Crone (even at 18yrs of age ) & I have not seen anyone that can spin a ball backwards & place it on a dime like him since Joey Johns. Every bit as tough as M'Crone defensively & does it with eyesight in one eye only.

Genuine half right there. Fantastic kicking game.

Somebody needs to tell jetski that it's his job to give the future stars every possible opportunity as the head coach he needs to know what all of his players are capable of doing .like I've said previously Freddy was younger than both Field and Dufty when he made the big boys league.its not how old you are it's how good you are .it's not rocket science over to you supercoach.the worst thing he can do is leave them in Reggie's and somebody comes along and bye bye Birdie.

Do you think Josh mcgroan is ready for that level I dont
Of course I don't but we will never get sensible selections and sound bench management unil Mary is gone. Nona should have at least been selected at 7 given his good recent form and his kicking ability. To me Mann or Field are not halfbacks, they are both five-eighths however, many good players can perform well in different positions if the need arises.

I feel that McCrone is in there purely for his defence. In attack switch Mann and McCrone around and for last tackle go to either Widdop of Mann. Can't be hard.

I must admit McCrone's defence is pretty good and if McInnes gets injured would be a good backup for the 9.

Mann has solid defensive skills. Only the coaching staff know if Mann can kick or not because I'm sure he is under instructions not to kick.

We are the most conserva

In a couple of trial games his bombs were pin point and allowed players to get to them and contest but I think the issue maybe his short and grubber style kicks.

My comment was firmly tongue in cheek. I haven't seen enough of Mann to comment on his kicking game, at the end of the day we can only go on what the coach decides and have to have faith in his judgement.
