yep, my only thing with Jorge is he is as dodgy as Feks under the high ball.

Yeah it'd be a bit hearts in mouths when the opposition puts one up in the air, and there would be no need to further develop our cross-field bombs that we already don't do. But those ageing forwards would love what big backline bodies like Feki, Dugan, Taufua and Loots getting our sets rolling. Not much passing or creating in that backline but a lot of running and heavy hitting. Would give the creators in the side plenty of momentum to work off to compensate.

Seems like I'm the only one that believes gray will be a good signing for us.

Outside backs are only as good as the other 8 blokes on the field can make them look. There is a long list of outside backs for whom a change of clubs made turned their careers around (for better or worse). Gray may not be a star, but you would have to assume he will look better playing with our squad than he does with the current Bunnies team.

Jono Wright was a superstar on the end of the Bulldogs backline

I remember James Graham running to him from 20 metres away during the Grand Final. He was screaming and I could make out the 'F' word quite a bit. Now I know that he must have been saying "You are a ****ing super star you ****ing ****ing ****!"

Broncos wanting Taylor back is old news. I'm sure when they released him it was with a handshake ... "go and get some first grade under your belt and we will get you back later". Nothing in writing of course, but that talk would have been had. Bennett has actually done this before. Phil Lee was one player who I know this was done for.

Titans will obviously try hard to keep him, but Taylor coming back would always have been in Brisbane's plans.
