Our haste in resigning Marty Hore was ridiculously breathtaking. More haste less speed ( ie less Hore) 

We didn’t need another HBF like Hore more likely a mid like Culley or Boy ( Roy) George as a HFF/mid. 

Does the Kolt injury not open up a spot?

He could be playing by round 6 so I doubt it, I’d be putting Kentfield on that list for George or Culley

I've been to several of the pre-season training mornings at Gosch's and I come away thankful that we have Hore as a backup. There are days when I have him in the side. He is better now than he was first time round. He is a professional in everything he does. He makes it difficult for many of our forwards with a full set of defensive skills. He can play on talls or smalls. Don't write him off. I won't be surprised if he gets games in 2025. He is legitimate depth. Every successful team needs them.

Marty is in seriously good shape this year as well. He looks exceptionally lean and is moving very well. Makes the occasional brain fade on game day but he is great depth.

marty hore can play a role for us if required

very happy to have him on the list

if a spot becomes open by feb 19, it would seem culley is more likely than george at this point, judging from track watcher's reports?

i also assume that ralph has combined george and mentha into the same player because he is, quite frankly, not a great judge of players

He look unbelievably fit doesn't he.

He's in the mix with tmac and Howes for a defensive position i reckon.

I’d be happy with Culley.

Club needs to bite the bullet and put BOTH Kentfield And Tholstrup on Long Term list, therefore opening up spots for Mentha and Culley!

Do you mean Roy George and not Mentha?

They won’t put Kolt on it as they will be hoping to get him back around mid season

& Howe’s looks ready. Been impressed with the vision I’ve seen of him so far this pre season.
