Not so much talking over the past two seasons, I'm talking now.

I would take Graham and Farnworth over him.

Probably Staggs as well.

In your head, rent free
funnily enough, i called campbell graham the second best centre in the game last year and you scoffed at that as well

its easily crichton, by far on both sides of the ball

he and graham and lengths ahead of the brisbane pair

I did, he's proven me wrong for sure.

I disagree on Crichton though.

I like Crichton because he doesn’t have a bad game almost like an Edwards

you’ve got to be at your very best to even be a chance at beating them

Crichton wants to play fullback though doesn't he? Isn't that why he is going to the Dogs? Not going to be a centre for that much longer if this is the case.

Crichton wanted fullback money, that's why he's going to the Dogs.

I know from good intel that the dogs are not closed on the idea about Burton to the centres… he is not on as much money as has been reported

They are very upbeat on Xerri also

Yes, a bit of talk in here about new combinations need time to bed in & sharks looked clunky on Sunday. I agree new combination wiould have been clunky 3 & 4 starts ago. Would you give up the 4 points we bagged 4 & 3 starts ago, to possibly (& I mean possibly) have new combinations settled now?

A conundrum.

Don't worry, either combination of left edge would have got exposed against Manly.

Combinations arn't the only reason why Moylan and Tracey miss tackles, they are just mediocre defenders.

I think this new look team should have still dusted the likes of the Dogs, Drags, Tigers ect.

I also saw cam and brailey defending on that side at times as well.

I think unfortunately Wade is the answer. The only answer we have to defend that edge with experience.

Experience only matters so much if you can't make your tackles and right now that is what we need from Wade cause he only occasionally has a decent run or pass in him.

Experience isn't helping his defense right now, last year his D was pretty solid but he is struggling with it more now. Slipping over, falling off blokes.

Was good seeing him put a hit on the other week though and I would still have Wade defending in there over some of the other candidates.

How many games has wade played this year in the left side though? From memory he’s mainly been middle hasn’t he? It’s a great opportunity for him to flex and relegate Wilton to the bench when better. It’s his now to own.
