Happy new year to you all.
I think it's a great move in keeping with our wonderful new recruitment strategy. I think Ronald Furner made a good point in the Canberra Times article when he said we have lost a lot of backrowers in the offseason and Manu may be able to fill one of those vacancies. After pencilling in my likely team for the season I found there was indeed an available position:
1.A Rothery
2.M Hodgson
3.K Kahler
4.
5.T Learoyd-Lahrs
6.B Jones
7.T Martin
13.J Croker
12.A Lomu
11.J Miller
10.T Thompson
9.A Tongue
8.J Williams
14.D Tilse
15.M Weyman
16.T Thurling
17.W Raston
Fair dinkum, I'm going to throw up if I hear one more story about:
a. our second rower shortage crisis,
b. players who deserve a second (or third or fourth) chance, or
c. how impossible it is for us to attract players because everyone hates Canberra.
