If he goes down again this year with a serious injury do you think then it’s time to maybe part ways? Or still persist with him

if he don’t fire up ASAP, others would lap him. Ison is next in line for FB and another junior coming thru; whilst the halves of Puru, atko (2025), two from flegg/sg ball coming thru.
he might end up as an utility or a back up centre

He's 22, whilst I understand the circumstances are different in each case Tricky has just had his breakout year at age 25, Nicho was a similar age when he finally got his chance at regular first grade.

I'd be lying if another setback wouldn't rock my confidence in him a little bit but I can't see any reason not to try and keep him around on a minimum contract. I can't imagine many other clubs would be trying to pay him more right now.

If WK is out the door next year and Ison comes in who is our backup FB?

Adam is a nice bloke and a former Shark ( who bailed and went to Parra) but his boy hasn't shown anything.

Except the WK haters have piled on to find a boy who can kick the didge boy out.

I think there is a racist undercurrent here.

I’m as big of WK fan as anybody on here, I think the criticism on here is over the top, but to suggest the criticism is racially motivated is completely unfair, ridiculous and quite frankly out of order on your part.

Don’t forget, David Peachey is revered around these parts.

Chopper also posted something similar on another thread. Some people shouldn't be posting after midnight...

Anyone looking to replace Ramien? Tricky? Nicho?

I hope the racism is limited to the indigenous boys because if we are after the white Australia team there won’t be much left to pick from.

I'm the bloke who called Will the reincarnation of Peach.

Im a massive peachy fan and a massive Kennedy fan.

Wouldn't trade him for anyone.

He's got more guts than any keyboard warrior on here.

Not sure why I copped so much grief for questioning why there was so much Kennedy hatred here.

I do think there isn't any rational reason to bag him yet plenty do. Why?

Most sensible response to date.

I can't fathom why there is such Kennedy hatred here.

The bloke is often the only one trying to stop a 120k forward from 5 meters out where others have gone missing. Many times he succeeds.

He is a beautiful runner and can set a man up with style. His show and go is a thing of beauty.

He glides into gaps near the line and backs up well.

I agree with this but your post the other day specifically mentioned racism which is what got a lot of us offside.

If you just had this comment, our responses would have been completely different.

I don’t think there’s racism against Kennedy. I do think there’s a strong local bias though towards local juniors and well known/connected families, and that does frustrate me a bit in this case too. I’m not talking about here on this forum by the way.

You can't accuse people of a racist agenda and then be upset when they get annoyed.

As Flanno pointed out above It also probably didn't help you called him didge boy or that you were saying Spencer was right to call Ezra what he did in another thread.

Makes you look a tad hypocritical

Really quite offensive to be honest, piss poor accusation to make.

The reasons why plenty want an upgrade at FB, including me, have been very well documented in here over a long period of time. None of the reasons have anything to do with Will being indigenous.
