No you reckon he's a plodder because of his lack of speed out of dummy half.

What?? I think Ennis is/was a good dummy half as he is creative in his playmaking, evidenced by his good attacking stats. He was also 2nd in the dally m voting the seson before last. You said the idiotic comment:

Plenty of good teams have a plodder at dummy half. Last year's premiers had an 80 minute plodder, as did the previous year's losing grand finalists. .

What's a plodder if not a player who lacks speed? It's got nothing to do with creativity. Dictionaries are free online now.

I'd like to see a list of some of the savoury puddings that didn't make the top 100...Perhaps 101 to 1000?

Do you classify Cameron Smith as a plodder too?
I don't classify anyone as a plodder. But if you're going to throw the term around to describe professional athletes then why not Smith? He's not known for his speed, though I'm sure that, just like Ennis and De Gois, he's a lot quicker than either of us.

Pritchard (and Arthur's persistence with him) have shown enough to make me think he has massive potential. To be honest I don't understand fans' obsession with King - "If he can improve his defence... blah blah blah..." You could say that about any player improving their weaknesses. Of course they will become better and rise up the pecking order. From what I've seen King has good size and speed for a hooker but not the workrate and aggression Arthur wants from a middle defender.

How the hooker plays in some other team's structure isn't how they need to play in ours.

Or should we have saved the money and spent it on a better right side half?
Possibly, but we did neither so we have average to poor hooker and an unproven right side half. However, I have high hopes that Gutho has the potential to be very good half. I can't say the same for IDG as a hooker.

Well with the inexperience in our spine it's probably a good thing we have De Gois in there hey?
