I don't think that it is a coincidence that the centre(s) and wingers playing outside Ali have done well - usually better than the ones on the other side of the field.

I am hoping that Greg Eastwood might offer a second creative outlet and even up our attack - especially if Brett Delaney is more defensive than attack minded - as per some of the descriptions of his time in the Titans - he might need some spark on his inside shoulder.

Diskin's is the final year of a 4 year contract. I'd call that long term. Buderus is at the back end of his career so it makes sense to only offer him 2.

I think the empahsis is more on the changing rules - so by having British citizenship, other passports or potential registrations cease to be relevant.

The thread is about Ali, his post is about Ali.

There is more relevance in his post than yours.

HTH and all that jazz.
