He he Have you guys bitten or what!!! lol Simple question i thought this was a forum i hope shackeltona and poore turn out to be good buys because if they arnt i be on your case next year . Let ask you this have our current forward be going great now??? also if the current players are not that good who have won the last four second grade comps .... im just saying are we sacrafising to many of our young talent.....
Second graders are those players who aren't good enough to play first grade. So basically we have the best collection around of players who aren't quite good enough for first grade.
I fail to see how that helps us win a first grade comp.
As for keeping all our current junior players - mate, check out the NYC - we're running 13th - 6 wins and 12 losses. Somehow those guys are going to win us 3 or 4 premierships??
I'm all in favour of supporting the local juniors who are already in first grade and are getting the job done nicely - and supporting them by bringing in the neccessary talent and peices to support them.
So we have Hayne, Mateo, Hindmarsh, Grothe, Reddy, Mortimer, Keating, Cayless - all juniors that have been brought through and shown they are good first graders. What's wrong with bringing in Poore, Shackleton and Tahu to support them and help them try to win a comp?
If we do win a comp it'll be on the back of Hayne and Mateo - so it's not like our crucial peices are coming from outside...
