End of 2013 I believe according to Frosties squad list which is a worry. I'd be happier with this arrangement if there was an announcement before stating that Brad had signed a 3 year extended contract.

Without this I think there could be a risk this turns out like the Amor arrangement

I can't imagine any scenario when i would prefer to have the younger Amor in my side ahead of even an aging Peacock...just no comparison.

he would be there to compliment him not replace him. amor, like singleton is miles better than kirke, griffin and moore.

got to agree Tad, while in theory nothing wrong with getting Brad some game time I personally think he should be learning his trade with us as I also thought we should have with Amor. We will have to wait and see and trust the management that have so far delivered the silverware.

Again I have to agree.

I know the club probably proved most of wrong again last season by winning the GF yet again and I am a little more reticent to contest that the club management knows best.....it remains a real puzzle that Kirke, Griffin and Moore were all preferred to Amor (and Ambler) and now apparently Singleton too

The dichotomy of the exciting young back line when measured against the ageing pack makes the decisions even more of a conundrum.

he won't get 20/25 games - 5/10 if he is lucky. And that for a 20 year old is more than enough.

he might when they realise how good he is

Not really, in the backs we've had genuine exciting talents like Hall, Hardaker and Watkins that came through. In the forwards, Amor, Pitts, Ambler may have done a decent job but certainly weren't exciting talents.

i don't want forwards to be exciting talents. i want them to be hard nose tough bstards who get us on the front foot

They still can be exciting talents. Talent doesn't just mean having a good offload or a great kicking game, it means being skilled at whatever job it is that player is out there to do whether it be the fancy stuff or the hard stuff.

If a prop can be a better hard nosed tough bstard than most other props in the league then i'd still describe him as an exciting talent.

For whatever reason, Amor set his sights on playing for Wakey. As Clint Eatwood said: "A man's got to know his limitations". Hopefully Singleton has more about him.

Personally I think the plan is about bringing him up to the task of playing SL week in week out. If he can prove himself at Wakie then I can see him being a major feature next season.

The reason could br that kirke kylie Moore and griffin are battle hardened and used to playing every week in SL. You don't just reach that level over night it takes a few years of having lumps knocked out of you on a weekly basis.
