The loss of Semi has affected us more then any of us would like to admit, we have lost so much go forward especially rucking it out of our own end and getting our sets started.

Bevan French has had his worse season because his simply showing his true colours, his stealing a living playing in this team, the sooner he moves on the better, he has offered nothing what so ever.
I reckon playing in that team would be hard work and money well and truly earnt by anyone

I'm as good as Bevan French is at bringing the ball back from our own line, and I'm just watching the game.
I doubt you would be as good as him even if you were playing against under 6s. You would spit the dummy and go home sulking telling them don’t call me to we have bigger forwards

Well if Im a sulker I'd fit in quite well replacing French

Well French never said call me when we have bigger forwards and then came back and pretended it never happened. Plus he can play footy even if it’s only at a low level. So that’s got you beat. No great triumph though

No, he just said he'll play fullback or he'll play somewhere else.

Losing Semi meant that we lost a lot of power rucking it out from kicks into our half. That affects the momentum quite a bit. The backs either get the ball later, or in less space. Add to that the absence of Brown for several weeks, Matagi switching off after week 2, Vave eating someone's lunch....

Plus Auvau and Taka carting it up in backs.

Just find it ridiculous that once again we’ll likely be going into a season with a new halves pairing. Norman isn’t having a great year but he’s still light years ahead of every half we’ve had since the glory days. Stability in our spine is what we need

Without naming names, just think about how you'd go about getting rid of a bloke who has a history of off-field behaviour that is pretty marginal.

When shopping him around would you say 'this bloke is trouble and continues to be' or would you say 'he used to be a handful, but he's cool now, he just doesn't fit our gameplan'.

If another club is desperate enough you probably don't have to say much at all.

Unfortunately the shit clubs are all trying to go with a no dickheads policy as well. We were desperate when we re-signed Norman (in late 2016) and we needed to take the risk. We're probably lucky it worked out for an entire season. Unlucky that we had to offer three years.
