The Kingdom for a Centre?

thats easy to answer, it's contract time! it's amazing how many guys show so much improvement in their whole game when they don't have a contract for next year.

For years doogs had a defensive style that worked for him, which was basically to mark his opposite number and smash the fool if he got the ball, and he was forever in the face of his opposite number.
It worked fine for him for club, state and country - but suddenly Smith wanted him to work in with a defensive pattern and to wrestle rather than smash.
Last year he often got caught up in his old pattern and jumped out of the line, but he was doing it too late because he was trying to stay in line till his instincts took over - he was niether getting up in their face nor keeping a defensive line - he was getting caught in no mans land in the middle.

O'Dwyer is pathetic, he isn't even a 1st grader let alone a top notch centre. He's about Mullen's size but would make McManus look like Usain Bolt in a foot race.
O'Dwyer is todd Lowrie but smaller.....

Todd Lowrie is how I've always felt about him. If we sign him at the expense of our props I'm gonna be so displeased.

O'Dwyer is hardly "profile" or even "established" IMO - and there is the other issue that if it was him (off contract), why would it be so hush-hush?

dear gott let it be King.... :sarcasm:

:lol::lol::lol:

I reckon Usain could take Aku's spot.

Would tackle just as good (or bad) and would defos be faster.

Scotty and Mullo would be in heaven cross field kicking for him.

Also couldn't have hands worse then Wes.

Sign him up NOW!

Jesus if we sign O'Dwyer I'll officially lose all faith in SMith and Onslow

I'm starting to think it's a centre that can play 2nd row or lock.

So who does that offer up?

Ben Smith. Frazier Anderson. Simon Mannering. Beau Scott. Setimata Sa.

out of that bunch i'd say anderson would be the most likely... the sharks have oodles of back rowers for next year.
