Robert's is his own enemy. Irrespective who they've got ! would Melbourne take him in their system or culture. NO
There are cheaper up and commers particularly in talent junior riddled neighbour Scumnulla,
That I'd be after.

We have a good track record when it comes to helping players getting back on track. I'd like to see Roberts in our backline before June 30 and beyond 2021. We have a truck load of cheapies are are frankly not up to first grade standard and a nest of juniors who are a couple of seasons away from the CC team.

Roberts has speed, is an SOO level player and would be great value in our team wherever Mary decides to play him. With Lomax, Saab, Dufty/Field and Roberts and Oates in our backline we would have to be one of the quickest backlines in the competition.

Backline
1. Dufty / Field
2. Oates
3. Lomax
4. Roberts
5. Saab
6. Norman
7. Hunt

Speed, speed and more speed. Finally in 2020 an all talented backline with strike power, just like the good old days. Put this backline with a pack of forwards full of enegetic and talented forwards and we have a team to compete in the 2020 premiership.

Forward Pack
8. Timm
9. McInnes
10. Vaughan
11. T Sims
12. Frizell
13. Lawrie

Bench
14. Ford
15. K Sims
16. Kerr
17. Leilua

A real team to represent the proud Dragons in the NRL. Yes plenty of TPA is required and a lot of dead wood needs to be let go.

It doesn’t hurt to dream.

Norman’s arrival has reduced the capacity to attract top tier players for the time being.

You really rate one bloke with minimal first grade experience (Kerr) and another with none (Timm), huh? Where does Graham fit in your list of hypotheticals? Retirement?

I think Graham will hang up his boots at the end of 2019.
Yes I do rate Timm and Kerr above Latimore and Allgood.
Leilua to prop a la big Artie.
Ford the new backrower on the bench.

Graham will retire...to Super League.

He has been quoted in saying a return to his roots appeals to him.

So Widdop and Graham returning to the UK at seasons end. Even more important that the likes of Field, Kerr and Timm get time in first grade this year.

I don’t necessarily disagree, just remember who the coach will be until the end of 2021.
