In terms of attacking shape he seems to suggest Drinkwater will play a more central role and Williams will be the main attacking threat on both sides of the field, rather than employing the (now) traditional left / right split of the half backs. That would leave Dufty to play to his own strength which would be backing up / offering a running threat.

What will help our attack no end next season is that we now have a second rower in fitzgibbon who is prepared to run off the ball and take out 2/3 defenders just like Waterhouse used to do. I just hope he can stay injury free, he's an outstanding player.

Yep ... he looks good to me. Surprised he's leaving NRL.
Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

It appears he is back from his self imposed exile.



I wish he had made that promise years ago, we could have avoided all those crap performances.

Lot of love from SB re Jordy Crowther, do you think he gets a starting slot, I can see him being a SB player but who does he displace Currie or Nicholson.

Currie centre perhaps? Or at least competition for his place.

Nicholson needs to really kick on as well

I think he will be good at Loose Forward.

Basically, there are 4 players, Currie, Fitzgibbon, Nicholson and Crowther leading the charge for 3 starting and 1 interchange place. There may be times that the coach chooses to play a prop, such as Kasiano, at the back but for the most part it's probably just a case of whether Nicholson starts and Crowther comes off the bench, or vice versa.

The biggest question must be about who our centres will be. I know that Tai won't be here until after Christmas but is King back yet? SB's comments around Wrench would certainly suggest that he's staked a strong claim during their absence.

tai arrived today, king is in training next monday

Do you fancy a tasty Tai Currie combination in the centres, then?

Only if it’s with King prawns.

Then if that doesn't work we can just fix it up russian cosmonaut style and smash it up with a big king wrench.

Any news on this centre the club were looking at signing? Deon Cross was a name I heard involving a swap deal..

I listened to the clubs podcast of last weeks forum but since, for some reason that episode has been removed.
Either a glitch or something contentious that I missed.

Wrench must be quaking in his boots



Seriously though, are we just looking for utility back-up? Ratchford fits that role doesn't he?

With all this optimism, what it is that we are expecting Sam to change with broadly similar personnel?

Will the pooch be in attendance?

Phone the Club shop, you might also ask if they know where his passport is.

The club`s wolf mascot ate it.

Surely not. What about that 'lupus non mordet lupum' from 2008, or has that disappeared now?
