Hi SD Phantom, I totally agree with you I really do. I’m just looking at the positives, one being that I’d rather an injury a month out than a month to go. I was also for buying Luke as I knew McInnes the deadset legend deserved a slow introduction and Robson was too good for a backup. For the record this is my team I picked for the 9s a few weeks back. Better than Mary’s in my opinion and I was panned from what I remember. Kerr was a notable omission from my starting side in a rare moment of me admitting I was wrong

All good, not a bad squad, Hunt and a few others, too marquee for me for 9s pre-season circus!
It was supposed to be fun and a frolic but for mine, it became a gruesome pre season culling exercise of fair to good players.
That’s ok for strong squads, but not for sgi with a squad less able than the side that all but gave up last year.
A squad still under McGregor and a pile of management experts and other interlopers with the hope of the side peeling oranges and being taunted by McDumpster at press conferences.
Sad news this morning, Cam out for at least 12 weeks. So the rumours are that bully will slot straight in as you have foreseen.
I think Luke is 110 passion but his best days are long gone physically. He was on the market for a long time and was regarded as a relief player at best. 20-30 minutes at a time. Ask the warriors fans.
Without some major miracle, hes not a genuine 85 minute option.
Cams defence was one of the best in the game, players would avoid him and he evened up a lot of attacking strike power. Plus he was fit for jersey. The whole league thought well of him.
That’s gone now and for sure, they will rush him back in underdone when he is still ginger to try to save yet another lost season.
No excuses for McMoron. He should step down, one bad decision followed by another.
If the nrl had any balls it would intervene.
