He wants to be a 7 and we would be stupid not to give him a chance.
I'm excited to see what he brings. The guy wants the ball in his hands, let's see what he can do with it.

Hopefully he makes it.
My thoughts are that he would be better off with some more space and being one off the ruck would enable that.
With the combined Cleary and Moses bloodlines, that would make him Jesus

I understand that but his speed creates space for others.
But is more than that. As a halfback he will need to direct the team and do most of the kicking you would think.
I see him as a big threat, much moreso than SJ 2.0 which I'm hoping will help TMM at 6 a bit more.
One of the dificulties I think of the TMM / SJ combo is neither were a huge threat running. The combo was defendable.
Overload on LM, TMM is in space...
I'm actually quietly optimistic about the season if we can keep the core group on the field.Unfortunately we have double glazed halves.
TBF I hope we have a better time with injuries this year.
Not too much to ask for surely.
However I think we are in for another disappointing season
Noone is expecting anything from us after last season and the loss of SJ/Tohu/AFB. If the main squad can keep fit, we definitely can linger around the back end of the eight.
Mind you I've been quietly optimistic every pre season for 30+ years. Always willing to give them enough rope to start the season, otherwise what's the point

Why do you ask?
Huh? AFB was the only decent player in that list last year.
Haha, yes but I was unaware of the connection with the number 19 until now. I suppose I was just about the only forumer who didn't know about that. Definitely feeling a little silly.

Kosi now listed. Gross
got an answer for the number on the back thing, why not put the players name on the jersey, always wanted that when watching a game on tv, to see their name on the jersey, definitely buy their jersey, heard podcast with cg who vetoed that for sponsorship reasons (not serial) lol.
agree, with sj retired, maybe the dynamics may change for the better and they will actually step up to the mark and become even better than we think.

Your concerns are valid but at some point you just have to go to war with what you got.
I think we have a good team but need the players in the best positions to make it work. IMO TMM needs to be 7 and Metcalf 6, and RTS needs to be left wing and never at centre. Others will obviously have different views but I think those players in those positions are the optimal choices. Changing them will ultimately be the difference between a good season or not.I'm actually quietly optimistic about the season if we can keep the core group on the field.

Fuck hope he's not injured. Dude is normally keeping himself in the best of shape all of the time too.

It's the most relevantly depressing part of our team. But by some miracle might he have gotten faster, better at catching, passing, finishing and tackling?
