The Rumours Thread

[RedV Resurgence]

I have seen Norman play very well at halfback for Parra. I know he is a quality signing.

T Sims was a Milward signing

Graham is past his best, but if we didn't have him last year, we would have been even thinner in the props department. He also provides much need on field leadership, he is inspirational and is a good influence on our younger forwards. We also were paying him only 300K or so last year.

If we didn't have Hunt last year, we wouldn't have even had a recognised halfback, which is one of, if not the most important position on the field. He is probably the best halfback we have had since Billy Smith. Hunt's greatest strength is his ability to play what's in front of him. He is a very good runner of the ball, but there were and still are questions marks about his ability to game manage. That is why the signing of Norman was so important. I believe in Norman and Hunt we have one of the best pairs of halves in the game. If I was in charge of recruitment, I would be looking to build the team around a pair of top quality halves, but good halves are hard to come by. When Millward took over, we didn't have any props and he has addressed that problem too. We are thin on outside backs this year, but I think we may have two future first graders in Lomax, Marsters who I would like to see play first grade this year. Maybe they can be our long term centres? Then there is the young star from Young, who has some decent wraps on him. I read that he plays fullback. If he is that good, he could be our future long term fullback? I am also keen to see a bit of Pearson and Ravalawa. So Millward has done a pretty good job in my opinion.

I agree with you regarding Aitken, Lafai and Pereira, but Mary is playing all of them in first grade this week?????

I'd like to see Norman at 7 and Hunt at 6. Norman can organise the team and Hunt can run and override when he see an opportunity. That suits their skills better.

I don’t think that the numbers on their backs are going to make a lot of difference. All halves pairings need to find the right balance to complement one another, and Hunt and Norman will be no different.

Ok forget the numbers, I was alluding to the roles they play and who runs the team. I would like to see Norman play the lead role and Hunt have the override capability when he see something.

That is exactly how I see it.

Have to agree from what we had a few years ago to the players that have come in, its a big positive, the BIG mistake that Millward has made in my opinion is the long contracts given to Aitken and Lafai, that is the one issue that grates me...

100%
Correct
Panic a bit there but overall his a 8 out ten for mine

We should have sacked him before the cutters won the isp comp and the iterstate challenge cup.....that way he wouldn't have made the old boys management look so bad

Lol. Yep JDs the reason why the Rabbits won last night, nothing to do with Wayne Bennett.
Shame nobody wants him as a head coach, like literally nobody.

Rumour floating around is that Manly are going all out for Aitkin as a replacement for Dylan Walker.

Knowing our mob they'll give them Lomax instead.

Where did this Aitken rumour start

I was going to suggest a straight swap of Aitken for Walker, but then thought that could impede Lomax or Marsters gaining a first grade spot.
