Saints have signed Billy Brittain

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Anyway, now McInnes is out of the picture Hunt to 9 & Clune to 7.

Very cruel thing to say I know but I wish it was Corey Norman who did his knee

Did you see Sullivan tonight?

 

[SnowDragon]

Prior to McInnes injury, I thought Hunt should be 9, but that we had billy as a cc hooker who may make the jump, if not, then cam was in reserve if needed. So the injury gives us depth problems and makes the back row even more critical for signing.

Brando, smith is definitely good, but may request too much money and may not match the planned style we have. He may not even want to come. So I’ll ignore.

Wishart looked interesting, and may be depth if needed.

McCullough at high coin and 3yrs is not my solution...but may be a solid option for moderate coin and 2yrs (3rd in our favour maybe)

We’ve already signed him for 3 it just hasn’t been announced yet.

Yes, he’s obviously had a huge offseason but I think we’ve all agreed Norman will start at 6 & Hunt at 7 but now that’s all changed. Hunt to 9 Norman 6 Clune 7 until Sullivan’s form can’t be denied. He’ll take over at 6 for the next decade

McCullough to 9. What we need is a good 13 to mind De Belins spot until he becomes available.

I like Brandon’s versatility, he’s a good option at Lock as well.

Signing McCullough for 3yrs is a total mystery to me. I don’t see the value

I hope they don’t rush him in personally but if push come to shove I’d have him ahead of Clune at this stage even. The things that I liked the most surprised me it was his kicking game, kick chase, defence and patience. He’s an out and out 7 for me. I hope Hunt and Norman start the season to give Bud six months in CC but if one of the duo doesn’t fire he’s straight in for me.

Besides his one shank his goal kicking isn’t too shabby. Good back up to Lomax

His 1st kick from the sideline was a beauty

 

[George Dragon]

Yeah I like BB, I thought Wishart had a few nice touches tonight but he obviously hasn't played for a long long time. I know coming through the ranks he was a 5/8 but who knows he's young enough got a little a bit of size about him, especially in the legs and looked pretty speedy out of dummy half. With a bit of work who knows he could make a nice 9. How nice would it be to have a Wishart junior in the ranks.

Ty played a full season with Gerringong, won the GF and was named in group 7 team of the year.

The important question is, can he kick goals like his dad?

I’ve stated a number of times, Sullivan will be playing FG by round 7, the ANZAC Day game.

At hooker? If so that’s nice. Hopefully they put some work into him. With some time playing as an understudy to Macca he could be the option we are looking for.

Yes agree , but he really needs to improve his dummy half passing. One or two of the dropped balls was a result of his bad passes. In saying that the kid got great advice to specialise as a rake as , like his dad, he has strength & acceleration.

Wishart could be “the Cook we kept”

no pressure...

He's got game no doubt but needs to work on his defense on yesterday's showing, which is to be expected for someone his age.

I really enjoyed watching him yesterday.

Bright future...

Yeah he wasn’t super sharp but if he focuses purely on that position he’s young enough to improve in that area. The games I’ve seen him at 6 he’s pretty creative so could make a really good hooker imo with his combination of speed, power and creativity.

And does he have better hands than his dad.

 

[Como Connection]

And does he have better hands than his dad.

Dad dropping the ball from the kick return in the GF cost them the game in my opinion.
