He's missed too much footy for that. For his progression

How many games do you think he has missed? He has never had a long term injury, i can name plenty of players who missed a whole lot more time. A guy does an acl then does it again that is two years missed, Lindsay missed more through injury before he had turned 20. Pecs, shoulders, all the same, one or two of those back to back and you have missed way more footy then cole has.

My thoughts are what he's missed and then only averaging 7mins a game with how Ivan uses his 14. I don't see how he grows as a player

Cole would be the best utility we have. Going on covering multiple positions easily our best option. I see a bit of Peachey in him, more than good enough for first grade but yet to find his best position.

Well the bench thing is another story but as far as cup goes he is playing consistently. When he has miised games its a couple weeks here and there, its more been timing for him, when there has been chances in previous seasons to play more he has had one of those niggling injuries often. This year hes been fit just not getting picked.

Anyway i think he can take plenty out of cup still.

Would have to think that Clarke contract is the end of Mav or Hasset here, which is fine as Clarke seems pretty good. Hopefully Harry stays.

We seem to be lining up a lot of backrowers for NRL and CUP, i think more than 1 of the current depth guys will be pushed out. Im not sure of every contract but we currently have Marto, Sorro, Garner, Papalii(at least part time edge) Mav, Hasset, Lipowizc, adding Clarke next year. That seems like to many.

Garner the cheapest and most consistent. If he goes Ivan is off his head

Thomas Jenkins has been upgraded to a full-time contact until the end of next season.
That's fantastic news, This has to be the story of the decade for an individual. The hard work he put in, the amount of players Infront of him 2-3 seasons ago and his never give up attitude is the kind of player Ivan loves. Good on him.
