I hope so. Everybody raves about Black & Gleeson but he is central to our attacking play. He's always busting the defensive line.

Shad is going home!

Yeah, that is a fact. He is going home to get married and settle back in Aus. Hope we can give him the best send off ever by winning the GF in hi final game

That's a big blow if true.

yes really big blow shad has always been a consisten performer and been near the top of our try scoring list every season. would be a big loss.

If he is then good luck to him and agree there would be no better way for him to go home with a GF winners medal.

Miles Greenwood ???
Miles is a much better attacking full back, Morty is a superb goal kicker, defensively, not much between them. How good is your kicker ?
Not that you need one with all the tries that you score

i to have heard Shad is going home for Personal Reasons, But going back to the original question about how many full backs do we need... how many times has Shad played at FB, he's been used more in the centres up to now.

no matter how good the full back is i think that a reserve is needed for the full back role and if shad is going back home then we will need someone for cover.

And at 13. Shad is one of the best support players in this division and is a sniffer of a try-scorer.

Agreed. He is the kind of player that you find room for in your team no matter what. He will take some replacing and to be honest I don't see a staright replacement for him. There is a while before the end of the season and time to change his mind, but after the service he has given us then I would support him in whatever is best for him.
He is a cracking lad on and off the field.


And I just read my post back and it sounds a bit gay. Sorry

Anyway ................

I think Dwayne Barker plays half as good as Shad. So, we may have "half" a replacement at least.

Agreed, I reckon Barker is yet to show his best ability for us.
