I don't care what he did last year.

thats a bit unfair on him, he did do those numbers but He is obviously going through a lot this year, whatever it is we don’t know but shouldn’t crucify a young kid for it.

He has massive potential just needs his mental strength back

 

[bort]

why?

in 2017 we expected a 21 year old Jayden Brailey to do it?

in 2020 why cant we expect a 22 year od to do it?

I agree we can expect him to do it, but we definitely need a back up.

If Billy Mags can be worth a bench spot that will help a lot as it means he can fill in for a bit if required.

I think in 2017 Seg and probably Nu Brown helped out Jayden, not like he was just our 80 minute hooker every round.

 

[Wiz]

the 3 options available are reynolds luke and lichaa

reyonolds probably off the table so you have to look at how you want the squad to balance next year

if you want brailey playing 80 mins, so sign lichaa and re-sign capewell

if you are worried, you sign luke and let capewell walk

id go for Luke... we thrive off aggression in the ruck, he’s perfect for it and it will headfk opponents when Luke and Brailey switch on the field.

i think he’s a perfect candidate, everyone goes off the rails abit when they go to Warriors for whatever reason except RTS

yeh id take luke as well, and he is the one reaching out to us

makes sense

 

[Jaz]

Depends on the coin. At his best he can definitely contribute for us, but he's yet another player capable of brain snaps.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Big no from me to Isaac Luke.

Always capable of too many dumb plays and decisions.

 

[Super Impose]

Big no from me to Isaac Luke.

Always capable of too many dumb plays and decisions.

And we already have a few of these.

 

[stormshark]

Agree, too up and down, no more old players.

 

[Thresher]

my undertsanding originally is we were paying 350k of it and 500k taken by the tigers, then they wanted us to take 500k

I wonder whether the cap stuff was leaked to Buzz to give us a bit more leverage in some potential contractual agreements.

 

[Thresher]

Agree, too up and down, no more old players.

I was thinking that a few months on the sand dunes might get him up to peak fitness but he'd probably wreck them, could be an ecological disaster.

 

[Sparkles]

Big no from me to Isaac Luke.

Yeah mate, not sure my heart could take another player in that mould.

 

[sharkyboy]

Big no from me to Isaac Luke.

Luke has played 14 games this year and has 4 penalties conceded and 8 errors.

Hardly bad

Josh Jackson’s name has come up as a Gal replacement

 

[bort]

Josh Jackson’s name has come up as a Gal replacement

Please no

 

[HaroldBishop]

Josh Jackson’s name has come up as a Gal replacement

I like him

 

[Wiz]

Josh Jackson’s name has come up as a Gal replacement

no thanks. Probably the most stock standard 13 in the league

 

[snowman]

I don’t like him. I used to.
Won’t be on the right edge and stinks as a middle

 

[Cage]

Past his 'Use By' date. No thanks

 

[Wiz]

I don’t like him. I used to.
Won’t be on the right edge and stinks as a middle

yep. He’s rubbish, hope it’s just a rumour and nothing more

 

[Tiger Shark]

No thanks to Jackson. Whilst I defn feel we need to get some quality middle men for next year and going forward he's not the answer.

Arrow would be unreal but I'm not holding my breath.
