I’m thinking we signed the wrong way around when we signed Rudolf for 3 years and Will for 2.
Can we pls swap their contract tenors???
Make Rudolf work harder to earn that extra year if he wants it!

Think he and Hynes will conjure up some magic next season. Must have done his head in watching some of our tackle 5 plays yesterday.

first time i have felt like this since about 2011

even 2014 when we won the spoon the season was fun for the race to avoid the spoon

we are just racing to avoid embarrassment and save face this year

At least in 2014 we had some heart. Those two comeback wins were awesome.

Is it just me or do you reckon he’s gained a yard or two of extra pace this season, for me, in this game alone, he doesn’t create those same tries last season, yes he’s anticipating better but it’s the extra speed that’s nailing those half chances.

Looks a bit more solid, too. Definitely has more confidence in collisions. Hit ups, high balls or tackles

He is on all you mentioned but geez I’d love him to not let as many balls (bombs) bounce as he does, him & his wingers, they need to talk between themselves better.

not to be a stickler again, like i was in the rudolf thread, but we have one of the best defusal rates for high balls in the comp

Yea I was going to say he's been safe as **** under the high ball, including not letting it bounce.

Like the lads say, I think you'll see he's turned that around for the most part now

He's basically turned everything around! - I will be the first to admit I had low expectations and doubted his long term potential for us. He's improved out of this world. The confidence he gets from this season going into the off season will be great for him too.

Easily best player for us this year. And hopefully solves our long term fullback situation.

Maybe it's just our lack of depth across the park that's the problem. Kennedy seemed to turn the corner when word came out that Tracey was training at fullback and was hell bent on getting the gig.

I'd just like to publicly thank Will for getting good... I really like you Tracey, but... whew

Thats' right, I forgot that there was hype around Tracey getting the gig, even Metcalf on trial form was being nominated.
