I’d go for Mikey Lewis before Abdul. Looks a genuine talent but not sure he’d get in front of Smith if the current coaching regime is to continue with Peet. Would be a decent appointment if we could attract Tony Smith too!

Re: Goalkickers, I wonder how last year's ratio of goalkicking accuracy (Hardaker & Smith) compares with someone like Colin Whitfield who 'from memory' skewed some absolute whoppers that should have been nailed on.

Anyones who has an opinion which is that, isn't someone who is worth listening to their opinion

i know at times i am shocked at what some people post, and i believe that we should all be allowed to air our opinions (within board rules), but i honestly think this poster must have been watching someone else. i genuinely couldnt believe i was reading it and i've copied it in below

"Honestly, I think Botica was made to look a far better player than he was by the quality around him at the time. I can’t recall a single time he put a man through a gap. Though he could kick goals (ironically, we would still have won everything with no kicker at all...)."

we are talking about a player who started on the wing, moved to stand off and also played Full back for NZ. Yet, he couldnt play rugby
