I'm not sure what people expect from a bloke who's basicaly our 7th best outside back but his adequite enough to do a job for us and has proven that in the past.

Wright's proven to be a good first grader, last year's 2 finals games he played well. I know he had a shocker against the Dragons but I dont know who else I would have instead of him.

 

[offside ref]

Grothe is injuried tahu suspended there is no other option wright is it so quite crying and let's hope he hope he does well

 

[ouchie]

Who should he select instead mr know it all?

I reckon etu or someone like jacob loko.

 

[Craig Johnston]

you just bagged a bloke about being "too old" and then nominated someone 3 years older.

genius

I never bagged a bloke about being old...

I said to give a young gun a go.

 

[Stagger eel]

loko shouldn't be any where near fg at the moment, the guy has just got out of SG Ball and needs an off season training with the fg squad before we consider him...

 

[hineyrulz]

Just asking some in the know is Sio ready for a run in first grade??? Bit hard to promote anyone from under 20's i know but still everytime i have seen this kid he looks the goods.

 

[BissyB]

I've never seen Sio play but the things I hear about him for you guys are good. Well if he's good give him a shot. I know there's an argument for him not being ready, too young but if you look at Folau, Inglis Slater they all started early and look at them now. Not that I'm saying he'll be anywhere near the skill of Slater. For now I'm happy enough with Wright if DA thinks he is up to it.

but you in turn named a bloke 3 years older than wright.

give yourself an uppercut

He is not Falou. Definately not ready, he finds it hard to get involved and make in impact in the NYC and that is not a good sign.

well obviously someone to replace wright could b someone younger or older, as long as the player is better den wright.

 

[Eels Dude]

Well what if there isn't one? Wright isn't great but he's ok. Do you think any club has their 7th choice outside back better than ok? They don't because if they did, another club would snap them up and put them straight into their starting backline.

 

[Eelementary]

What a stupid thing to say. The only team that could have their 3rd and 4th string options being stronger than most teams' 2nd string options is Melbourne - look where they are.

Jono Wright is not a world-beater, but he's a depth player at this point. He's not a starter UNLESS someone else from our top 17 is unavailable.

 

[Stagger eel]

He is not Falou. Definately not ready, he finds it hard to get involved and make in impact in the NYC and that is not a good sign.

he's definitely not Falau, how does any outside back make an impact in that side???....seriously!!!

he played for Wenty a few weeks back who are travelling slightly better than the NYC side and bagged 3 tries.

he's a good player and is someone we can look to next season..

 

[muznik]

Queue Jono to have a BLINDER !

He does seem to run hot or cold, hope he's on fire tonight !

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I have not been impressed with Wright previous games. But credit when credit is due, he had a good game tonight. Maybe he has a future.

 

[fish eel]

Jono did well tonight, just as he did well last year when he had a couple of games on the trot. There were certainly no joel reddy type arm grabs from him.....
