I think 3 weeks is fair for both tackles. All players know you can't lift a bloke anymore - its going to happen from time to time because most of have been taught to hit and drive up with shoulder when tackling but after McKinnon the line is drawn.
Frizzell's was not intentional but you can't...
You can certainly win plenty of games if you don't have the best kicking game - so long as you limit where your opponents kick from.
That is what we have done well the last couple of weeks - limit the effectiveness of their kickers and then making sure when we kick its not wasted. If you can't...
Out of all the candidates floating around only DCE was worth breaking the bank for. Looking at pure number 7's none are a massive upgrade on Robson other than kicking. There is not a player on the market (Excluding Carney) who turns us into a premiership force just by their coming here.
Think...
Sezer is off to Canberra according to Danny Weedler and a few others. Massive get for them big loss for Manly. We should go after Sam Williams better then Robson pretty handy in fact when behind forwards going forward plus he wont cost much so if Connor develops we can dump him to ressies
Wasn't Watmong off contract? Hayne was on a lot but if you look at parra they only have 5 well payed players in Norman,Sandow,Hoppa, Mannah and Watmong the rest would be on normal to small contracts surely.
Reckon they have plenty of space left.
Holmes and Bird are only going to get better, both combined to win us the game against the roosters. We won't win the comp with Connor at 7 next year but it will set us up to have a new era of success. The trio would be all 20-21 next year so when they hit their prime at 24-25 would have...
We will lose him imo if we sign another half. Consider this we have been running around with Robson who while is a gun defender is rubbish in attack.
How much do we lose/risk putting in a young attacking player? Especially with the fact we could hold onto Murphy, we have Nu and Dallas is...
Nope he hasn't yet - do the same as they did with bird - send him to the 9's few games in ressies then bring him up.
Its a risk but one that I reckon would pay off.
