Telegraph is rubbish. Fact is the media are rubbish. And rothfield the bloke is a ****ing muppet. He ain't no supporter of the club, the prick uses that line simply to get his 'scoops'

I think he uses it as a bit of a way to troll opposition supporters tbh. He usually doesn't have anything smart to say, so instead he tries to be controversial and wind people up. At the end of the day it still gets him hits on his webpage, which keeps him in a job.

If you had to rate our outside backs contracted for next year, putting them in order from best to worst, what would your order be? Forget about position and just choose based on who is the best player overall.

This is the list of contracted players. Don't include players off contract or players you want to come to the club, or are rumoured to come to the club. Assume full fitness.

Nathan Gardner
Stewart Mills
Ben Pomeroy
Matthew Wright
Ricky Leutele
Nathan Stapleton
Michael Gordon
Jonahan Wright


This is my order:


  1. Michael Gordon
  2. Ben Pomeroy
  3. Nathan Gardner
  4. Jonahan Wright
  5. Stewart Mills
  6. Nathan Stapleton
  7. Ricky Leutele
  8. Matthew Wright
The three guys after Mills are all neck and neck though. I just feel Stapleton is a better winger than Right, Leutele probably a better centre (hard to tell with Wright not playing there) and Wright is adequate cover but not a first grader in any position (from what I can tell so far).

You put Stapo neck and neck with Ricky? Ricky shows heaps more promise and ability in his handful of games where's Stapo has had enough time to proove he is well and truly below average. The rest of your list looks about right.

Btw for those suggesting Wright to wing, heck no he was useless out there and there's no evidence to suggest he would be any better at centre. Slow- check, limited footwork - check

i agree rothfield is a muppet, but to say he isnt a supporter of our club is a bit far fetched

Buzz loves his Sharkies but he does show his affection in some bizzarre ways at times and as a journo he's typical tabloid crap
