I cant stand stand ennis!! Id prefer robbo but thats not on skills
ennis is up there atm in top 5 hookers . Will add alot to this team especially since carney cant steer a team around and he does just pass off the ground he engages the defence which is needed in this new game
I might learn not to hate him if he is in our jersey but I dont wanna think about him anymore until he is or isnt signed

Yes, but what happens with the progression of Holmes at FB if we put Benji there ? I realise he's not quite ready yet but he could be next year and most certainly for 2016.

1. Marshall
2. Gordon
3. Feki
4. Leutele
5. Ryan
6. Carney
7. Robbo
8. Fifi
9. Morris
10. Gibbs
11. Lewy
12. Graham
13. Gal

That's a strong starting lineup for sure. I hate Benji, always have and always will, but there's no denying his talent. I think he would flourish at the back and re-juvenate his career.

A ball playing fullback is something we have lacked since probably Peachey.

Look at TVS. He is into his 2nd year of first grade and he still isnt ready to take the fullback spot just yet.

Holmes can start on the wing get his feet and confidence for 2015. 2016 he and marshall can start to swap in attack and if he is ready and has the form 2017 becomes a bad year for Benji.

Room for both for at least the next 2 and half years.

same here . Which will mean Gordon is shifted ( he won't be happy) and holmes wont see fullback for 3 years and by then he would get homesick again and we lose another good young guy!

If Benji signs Gordon will go most likely to the dogs or ESL imo

He'll just go back to the wing I reckon. He's done his fullback thing now.
for this year yeah but next year he may be surplus to requirements on his coin and the dogs need a proper fullback I could see it happening and it frees up a permanent wing spot for Feki/Holmes (not sure if they play the same side)

Whats this fullback talk.

Half back or bench utility

Dont even toy with these stupid scenarios

Not sure I can see Canterbury taking him, Hamsy. They may as well stick with Perret at FB if they can't sign anyone that adds to their attack.

Hasler doesn't need a particular type of footballer he can make a game plan that suits the side. By all rights the dogs on paper are not a side that should be leading the comp. He would use Gordon well, we however need players with individual brilliance to counter the fact our coaches while they instil toughness don't have a deep kitbag of tricks when it comes to attack.

I just don't see it, especially if his current form continues. I'd like him and Holmes on the wings if we play Benji at fullback.

I'd be putting Benji in the halves. I just can't see him at fullback standing his ground to take a bomb while over half a tonne of the enemy pour through with the intent of steamrolling him.

I hate him too, the guy is a grub. But the moment he pulls on our jersey, he becomes one of us, he becomes our grub, so we defend him to the hilt.
