Was better , but he was heading towards being in the top 6 centre
before he went to Knights.
Be struggling to make top 16 on form the last 2 years

Not the worst contract on our books but I was never happy with 4 years at 500k given he was basically sacked and coming off **** form with a very strong desire to sign with us. Should have been 3 years same wage as the Knights had been paying him (at most).
Bomber and whoever was in charge of recruitment got robbed by that one. Probably even worse than Chads weird extension with PO then CO.

Still better than Chad's new deal though.

There was some big hype in here about him coming back, and I do agree there was some exciting potential, but he has fallen pretty short of what I think we all wanted from him.

why the **** would Dugan replace Ramien unless jesse injured?

Ramien has done a tonne more in attack than Duges. yes Ramiens discipline and defense can be an issue but none of us are forgetting Dugans 2 defensive attempts against the dogs that directly lead to try's immediately and seems to be alot of talk out there about dugans poor attitude and sooking in recent weeks now he has learnt he is not all that

I like Duges and all but he's paid too much and has been one of our weaker backline players this season despite a try or 2

Ramien averages 154m a game, he is the only bloke that runs straight

Everyone else runs east west

Tracey's made more metres in the last two games. Teig had more a couple of weeks ago

Are we going to have just 1 week this year where every player is fit and available? I’m talking about our best 17.

Not sure if mentioned already - Moylan left out of the 19 also (injury).

NRL.com is reporting Wilton to centre (as posted above) and Magoulias to the bench, with Trindall and Dugan as extras.

I’m happy for Billy here. It was probably his best game in the NRL last week.

So that's the last we'll see of Matt unless SJ gets injured... and Mozza will make a miraculous recovery

Anyone have that backline in their predicted lineup at the start of the season

Not likely as no one would have known Chambers was coming here at the beginning of the season. I doubt if Chambers himself knew.

But yes, it would be hard to predict we'd lose both our wingers, along with one of our good centres. I don't think Dugan being dropped is a surprise to anyone though.

I like Wilton but putting him in over Dugan at centre I can’t get, would love to be proven wrong
