Collis is a class centre and a real footballer with a magnificent offload that was too good.

I also just know that if we let Benji go some other club is gonna have him for 8 yrs and he won't miss a game. He's young, fast, skilful and a matchwinner. We have to keep him

Agree 100%

Anyone who isn't suffering from mongolism can clearly see these are 2 of our most talented players.

I should have said `too good for a sleeping fitzy on numerous occasions' re Collis

And for another fact Daley and Lockyer weren't running their sides at 23. And i think you'll find that the Brisbane and Canberra sides those 2 played in were choc full of NSW, Qld and Australian reps rather than the odd city/country rep

There's no way you can ditch Bunji........he is a once in a lifetime as far as Im concerned.

As for Collis,I have to agree with the MOTH......dunno how many times Collis would turn to pass Gidley style and Fitzy would be having smoko.

Lawrence outside a fit Collis could be devastating.

Agreed on all points and I think most sane people will too..

We have a quality 6 and and great 9, our problem is just getting someone to organise the forwards and where to send Benji, Hodgo can only do so much on one leg (not through not trying though), which is why we must atleast give one of the younger halves a shot at #7 next year.

This backline has tryscoring written all over it.

1. Hodgo
2. Tuaki
3. ???
4. Collis
5. Lawerance

6. Marshall
7. Moltzon

The centre position ideally would of been Phatz, but Noycy thought we'd send Ronald on mission to find one, only to return with a 2nd rower come prop. :roll:

I guess Morris couldn't be any worse at 3 then 7 ?

Morris is garbage wherever he plays and should be nowhere near our top 17. Nowhere near the size or pace required for centre. The backline has a stack of points in it if fed correctly - but for that to happen we need a proper half ... unless one of our 2nd rowers can play halfback

Sheens will have Payten playing at half-back by round 6 and all our worries will be over.

Agree re: Benji. Can't let him go, but his price tag needs to be reviewed. It will be an interesting year.

I wonder if the people bagging Payne have ever seen him play,or are doing so cos it wasnt Mason or Asotasi signed.

IMO......having watched him play he is a good player.

Like Gods Illa says,big strong and mean.....he did give some penalties away,but I dont mind that if he provides offloads,metres and a punch to someones head every now and then.

And.....IMO he will play prop.

:^o

Whats happened to the aggro he was showing during the trials?
The potential he showed early has vanished.

One can only hope that when Harrison & Todd are back Galea & Payne are dropped. How much momentum did we lose when Galloway went off?

I thought he had his best game since round one, okay their were a few errors and dumb things but I think he showed some mongrel and thats what we got him for. Was defending on the right edge and did a pretty good job. Fultons shoulder dosnt look good, its the other one from the one he did first game 2006

Having just watched the replay, he was certainly well involved in defence but had 1 good run for all the time out there. I think there are better options but with yet another injury he's bound to get a few more runs.

How good is Hino, fair dinkum the guy is an absolute trojan.

People laughed at me earlier this yr when I said Heighno is a better player than overrated f**kwits like Hindmarsh, Ryan and Fitzgibbon. Heighno is a machine
