I put other. My pref is

6 Graham
7 Barrett (if he stays on)

and blood Kelly from the bench. Barrett moves to lock when Kelly is on.

then for 2012 we have Graham and Kelly

Is Kelly a realistic no.7 in the future, I have thought he might be considering his' short kicking game and short passing game are both very good. Not sure baout his' long kicking, long passing, or organizational skills htough.

SO, do people think that he is a 7 option?

I see your point but think aslong as one of the halves as the organising in him capable of steering a team around then we should be fine. Doesn't always have to be a 7.

I think Graham is a pretty good organiser and their kicking games should complement each other - Kelly has a pretty big boot on him. Did a huge 40/20on the weekend and another clearing kick which got good metres.

He played on the weekend when Townsend went of injured and stood up to the extra work load well I thought.

or perhpas Graham to lock in a few seasons when he's bulked up a bit more. he looks like he could do with a more more imo anyway.

In your head, rent free
depending on who the 5/8 is, a barrett/graham ball running 5/8 then most certainly

Drag Queen territory.
I love Kelly more than anyone (except Jigsaw, and that's only cause he kidnapped him when I was asleep) but he's not a 7.

Ideally, I'd love to see a Kelly/Townsend halves pairing in the future. For now, I'd settle for Kelly/SFP.

So Snowman, you think that a 6) Graham 7) Kelly pairing, would or wouldnt work?

If Kelly is capable of spanding the gap between 6 & 7, it makes our positions a lot better (for example Lewis and Graham are both options to strart with)

Either way if they were even remotely considering him for 5/8th next year he would of got a run there whether it be this week or previously

True Snow, but the kid is 12 months away from being ready for being a number 1 half. IMO we need to get a real general out there not a kid that isnt ready to lead the boys around the paddock
