Not exactly, I see his role as a quality back up along with being a mentor. It's the combination of the two that is probably the reason BA is happy to offer him another contract.

Yeah Scott is a mentor but apart from him and Jennings our experience is pretty limited, thus why BA signed Fritchard.

Also I doubt he is going to be on more then $200k.
I guess our differing opinion relates to our thoughts on what is a quality back up. I take your point though. Hes obviously a popular member of the squad but is that enough?
Just love we are chatting footy though. Shouldnt be too long before the thread is hijacked by the usual subject so Im making the most of it

I like him. Hes a goer.

11 games, 7 runs for 65m, 18 tackles, 1 miss.

Has cracked 100m twice in his career, and not since 2015. Pritchard did it twice this year. He's a goer alright, but the kind whose top gear is labelled "plod" on the gearstick

So, Gubb doesn't give you a chub?

I don't think poor old Charlie gives anyone a chub...he's a plodder on and off the footy field
So who picked up the future star Bazza? Was it The Cowboys or Raiders? Must have seen something others didnt. Ill watch with interest. Maybe he and Big Frank will oppose each other in the ISP next year.

Future star? Jeez he'd want to hurry up, he's already going to be 28 by early rounds of the 2018 season...gonna be a short future.

I agree. Some do. I dont. Give his spot to Ray Stone or Pauli Pauli or anyone but not some 40 year old who was an absolute mark by opposition when defending. Missed tackles dont include him huffing and puffing out of position. Im absolutely stunned hes being discussed given BAs reluctance to use him when available. It wont happen.

Pritchard will not be keeping Stone out of a position in the top 30 nor in Wenty either.

Oh god, DT reporting Hayne has asked his manager to look for a Sydney club for this coming season he wants out of the Titans for personal reasons. He wants to go home to Sydney after World Cup.
I don’t think I can handle the excited Hayne fans over the next few months!
