all the best to him. May be not the ubermensch after all.

There are lies , damn lies and statistics. I love the Weed and am excited by what he brings but Hogan’s aerobic capacity that allowed him to contribute outside the forward fifty was something special and hard to replace. Anyway he has gone and the argument is moot.

Hogan is a special talent and we’re fooling ourselves to think he won’t be missed. Weed shows a lot of promise but how he performs in the longer term is yet to be determined.

? Dr Danks his replacement

The Coodabeens will have a field day with this.

Gogomobile?

it will be interesting to see how many of our large rehab group will be ready for round 1. Would like to see our team before getting too cocky.

I don’t think Port are that bad. They will be thereabouts for the 8. We will need to bring our A game.

From a distance it seems Goodwin has the ability to get the balance right between being tough and demanding, yet supportive and encouraging. It is a fine line and he walks it very well. I love his no Richard Cranium policy so whilst he has inherited a good list he has shaped it very well. Five years for me.

2 fritters are always better than 1

Jeff Garlett with a new "do" - hope it presages a return to form.

Sounds a similar type to KK.

Poor Guy must be tough to survive a name like that. Nickname - W

Someone for Charlie to tower over.

Charlie Spargo says hello!

Thus spake Zarathustra.

Nick name “ Slug”

Seems odd. You would have to ask why given the family type atmosphere fostered by Goody and PJ. A bit of reflection by Hoges may be in order. Good old fashioned rationalisation and self justification I would have thought.

She’d a tear I must confess watching that. His balance, poise and focus on the ball was floweresque. Horrible to think we lost 3 champions way too soon.

Agree re Ingerson, a very underrated fullback. But my favourite would be the late, great Sean White.

interesting his contract is only for 3 years. Mind you i reckon Ross Lyon is on borrowed time.

he may be hit by the Ross Lyon reality bus. Why anyone would want to play under him God only knows. It will be interesting to see how it plays out given that there is a story behind Neale wanting out and i believe Fyffe isn't a popular captain.

Goody is obviously impressive face to face and he does seem to be developing a family of committed players and staff which all bodes well for attracting and retaining players and for getting the best out of them. Happy days
