Fair dinkum this bloke is useless. Why not at least give Murphy a run, the answer may well be sitting under his nose. There is only one way to find out.

sad news about connor tracey

I bumped into Adam Dykes recently and whilst I wanted to abuse him for his absolute **** house job he has done as our kicking coach, i instead asked him what he would do.

he said he would have connor tracey and barba as the halves and robbo on the bench or starting at lock, so it seems some of the coaches have a huge wrap on the kid

Wow. That's huge praise for a kid who only turns 19 this year. Maybe he will be a factor sooner rather than later.

Interesting too that Flanagan mentioned that his "three" backup halves had all gone down.

Really unlucky with the injury.

Probably later rather than sooner with the poor kid doing his ACL. Won't be playing again this year, needs more time to develop so I'd say he won't realistically be a chance till 2017 or 2018 imo.

Yeah obviously the ACL ends any hope he had of sooner.

I had thought 2017/18 too which is why Dykes saying now (per injury) is so interesting. Who knows how good a judge of a player he is but he knows a lot more about footy than any here and he's the one working with the kid on a regular basis.

So what halves are out now?

Kyle Stanley
Nu Brown
Connor Tracey
Ben Barba (suspended)

Leaving just Robbo and Todd Murphy. Stocks are thin. In probably the most important spot in the side.

there is a genuine 5/8 running around that would make a difference for us, Will Smith. but he is an ad-lib off the cuff player so he wouldn't fit in flanno's plans
