Imagine how miserable we could be at a function together? Almost as miserable as the eels of 2018.
Gee thats pretty f**king miserable, the only way we could be more miserable is if that that function we had to watch a replay of most of this years games.

He prob never sees first grade. No difference then when sign some up and coming under 20s guys who never makes it.
Can only guess that D. Aka,Faiinga arent up to it and no under 20s player is expdcted to break into first grade. I would of been more excited if that young 2md rower atakimanou or however spelt was promoted cause id be thinking gee he must be good and cant wait to see him play.

Yeah fair point. Hard to sugarcoat anything associated with the eels of 18. Surely we can’t be expecting a similar year in 19.

I don't see the issue with Davry, tbh - he's a "safe" signing, because:

* he has good physical attributes already, so does not need to further develop
* is matured, at 27, so attitude should not be an issue
* would not cost much

If we reach a point where Faingaa, Utoikamainu (sp), etc, are not ready for First Grade, on paper at least, Davey is a safer bet to make the jump, and would not cost much.

On a positive note, I was really pleased to read Fergo turning up 3 weeks early to the training paddock for light drills and show the attitude he has displayed the last 12 months.

I hope he is a great addition to our strike power out wide next year!
Agreed, hopefully it rubs off on a few of the others.

What so a bloke who even Pou doesn't want to see near first grade isn't a sign the club is in poo if he is playing??? If he plays a heap of games we are up shit creek.


Everyone is Fapping over this amazing next crop of juniors which have been cultivated by 5 years of hard work from BA but that can't get a run over some Plodder from the Q Cup???
The only edge forward is Faingaa and he isn’t one of the stars.

The guns are:
Kaufusi
Mahoney
Utoikamanu
Brown
Schneider

His strike power will be in the middle or from restarts I reckon. If he plays outside Mennings he wont see much ball on the edge.

Tell us your thoughts, Pete. Would you consider Davey as an astute signing? I liken it to the council having to spend their budget or risk having it cut. Very strange.......

I know NOTHING about him..BUT someone must have seen potential in him for the Club to sign him, and put him in the TOP 30...There are better judges of 'footballing flesh' out there than me...that's for sure, but I am at least keen to see what he can do without putting shit on him sight unseen..

Can you drop out of the top 30? ... if you are on minimum position 27-30 money, and someone else (say mahoney) then gets put on the same money, can they slot in but you fall out of the top 30? ..... top 30 right now, but maybe not in the future???

I assumed Utoikamanu not the prop Stephano but the guy who was out all year was the one to watch put for and was an edge forward.

Good point. Can you reshuffle the deckchairs ? Potentially you might think that #30 needs to work on something and #31 is ready for a bench spot.
