I think the only position Gannon could break into first grade is for TMM. Gannon seems to be versatile enough to play all the back row positions and at pinch centres & five eight ideal for the utility role that Martin currently plays.
They did with EIT who played the trial against Melbourne but he’s more of workforce than an explosive back rower. Fatialofa’s form in NSW Cup and ability to cover back row, centre has left Morgan surplus to requirements for 26.
Soooooooo cannot wait to watch the game this weekend -live. As for @Five&Last who thinks I am only about Harper - why would I be paying $$$ (flights and accomodation) as much as I have stuck up for him - you have done nothing but bag him and pick him apart on pretty much any mistake or error he has made. Today I have watched most games and yes, he may not be spectacular or a try making machine but there have not been many tries on his side, nor has he been a ball hog (well maybe the last game) as he passes and he has also lead and talked to the wider team. He has actually served us well (yes he took cap but who else could we get). You have consistently said that I am his mum or wife or my age I could be grandma (which I am not - if I was I am sure I wouldn’t be on this site. I could say are you related to someone who plays in the same position - difference is - I kinda trust the coaching staff. Am I a trained coach - yep but at nrl level - hell no (but not toooooo far off the lower grades - nsw). I am fair, I am blunt and I focus on data. Was he good enough for first grade - the coaches didn’t think so and I back our coaches. Up the wahs every day of the week - I have a jersey for every single year we have been in the comp. I love this team - through highs and lows. Every team too. I Amy critique players but I do not fully bag them - nz warriors every day of the week. Whether I agree with coach selections etc - gotta trust the process. @Five&Last support the process. I’ll not be responding to you mundane uneducated comments again. Be educated mate. Support the club and if your don’t like something - all good but don’t always belittle one player. We are alll here wanting our team to win. At least we have that in common.
