i like maurie..but the trouble is he seems to play in fits and starts one week he's ripping em apart...the next week he's doing nothing but dropping the ball.

He does seem to have been more consistent this season and looked in much better form. I don't think you can pick him out for dropping the ball this season since almost all Saints players have been doing a fair bit of that.

Roby in particular has developed a severe case of the dropsies.

No.

Which Cooper are you talking about - Danny?

Mike

He's Cullens nephew, was always going to sign for us when his uncle was coach.
I think Puletua (sp?) is fantastic everytime i've seen him at 13 but he could definately do you a job at prop. It would probably be easier to fill a backrow slot than a prop, not seen many i like as of late.

He plays the same type of game (ie like a prop) no matter where he is named in the line-up. He is more often than not spelled like a prop as it is.

Maurie will be a big loss if it's long term, he will be a key player in the big games coming up and it is imperative that we have a fully-fit front row for the CC and playoffs.

Losing Maurie would seriously hurt our GF chances, but it's less of a hinderance to our CC hopes.

We're smack in the middle of summer, when pitches are at their best. If ever there's a time when you can get away with being light in the front row, this is it.

is paul southern available again??

bring in heath cruickshank

you guys are nuts, Webcke's signed for next season

I'm worried about Bryn due to the fact that the only person to mention him, is the leader of the 'Brynolution'.

Only to compare Emmitt to him.

I have chilled on the Brynolution business for fear of ending up like Conroy-Smith.

If only... Goldspink and Cruckshank, two names worthy of any RL team.
