I take it RPFC, youll be presenting the results to the National Census?

Maybe.

A lot of you don't think he can/will take Rivers' spot in the side.

It's not groundbreaking news but I think that a lot of you are right.

THEORETICAL LINE UP

B: Warnock Garland Frawley

HB: Grimes Rivers Morton

C: Green Moloney Davey

HF: Sylvia Bate Bruce

F: Jurrah Watts Wonaeamirri

R: Jamar McDonald Scully

Int: Johnson Trengove Blease Martin

Jones, Bennell, Bell, Cheney, Jetta, Maric, Pettard, Strauss, Miller, JOEL McDONALD

OK, now from what I can see we've got our fair share of half-back flankers, not all of which are currently at the same level as JM, however enough that are, and enough young blood to suggest this isn't really the position we need to be gearing up for.

The only potential weakness I see is we are 1 tall short of a future devastating forward line.

Mitchell Thorp for mine is worth the punt with PSD 1. Another spec tall forward in the ND (i.e. Talia or Black), a ruck option in Vardy or Gaw and some Troy Taylor or Liam Patrick excitement, then I'm starting to tingle.

Whatever happens, we're on the right path. In Barry I trust.

as an aside...I see elsewhere mentions of a 2 year deal already done with JM and that he's started training with us already . Can anyone verify ?

cheers

No complaints from me either ... :wub:

Sorry Darren... I'm not sharing them with you!

Don't freeze me out of the gossip at the club when you get on the Board.

PREVIEW: Brisbane

They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
