Tad, I thought I gave a reasonable assessment of how I'd like to see the pieces fall. We have got too many good players and somehow they have to fit for the best outcome of the team. I'm just giving my opinion.
How about you give me your opinion on how the team will look and why you'd leave someone out?
They can't all play, so sometime tough decisions have to be made.
Remember your the one who wanted our juniors to make up the bulk of the team.
Several scenarios you have not taken in to account Rider.
Norman - his future hangs in the balance at this point in time.
He gets a guilty ruling in court and we could lose him.
Foz - so much BS, rumour and innuendo flying around one gets the feeling he also may not figure in our future plans too much longer.
GET OVER THE HAYNE CRAP FFS. Ain't going to happen and with the squad as it has been progressing, there is NO spot in our team for him. Next you will be calling for Inu to come back - ANCIENT HISTORY with NO bearing on our future.
Jennings - never liked him and he hasn't done anything to change my opinion. You got it right by saying he is a detriment to our right side attack.
Taka - now there is a conundrum. He filled the 5/8 role well - not brilliantly, but certainly didn't embarrass himself by any measure. Perfect partner for Semi but????????? he has put up some very good kicks that resulted in points for us.
Kenny Edwards does not want to stay in the 6 jersey, but again he has held his own (most of the time) against full time 5/8 specialists. Haven't really seen him put ball to boot though which puts pressure on Norman.
Surely there is someone in the team that can kick a ball.
So..........
1 - Gutho / French (future?)
2 - Semi
3 - Jennings
4 - Taka
5 - French.
6 & 7 Norman and Foz if they stay with us. Now if either or both are lost to the Eels I think you won't have to worry too much about the Gutho / French argument because we will be screwed once again.
The blog should be asking - If Norman gets hit with a guilty verdict and gets punted by the NRL, and if Foz completely derails - what then?
I have the ultimate faith in "the best coach in the business" ruled by the "best board and CEO in the business"
Doubt Norman will go unless we can't afford him. Possession is different to being caught with them in your system.
For what it's worth Foz said that he intends to play on next yr.
Only reason I brought up Hayne is he has to be included in the conversation as he's made it known that if he comes back to NRL the Eels are where he wants to play. That doesn't mean I'm pushing for him, just he can't be ignored at this stage.
And to finish off, BA might not be the best coach but even you have to be happy with how he's handled the team through all this. Would you prefer we had JT! Lol
Is this election getting to you? Haha
Also question mark on Semi, are the rumours true or not about French rugby? If with us next year would put him in the centres with Taka to bench as utility. As stated if lose both halves we are farked big time next year and will be battling big time against top 4 teams this year with only one half.
Semi and French create a brilliant wing pair. Gutho, Taka and Jennings our centres going forward. But oh to free up $800K for a couple of big boppers...
would like to see 1 Semi 2 French 3 Jennings 4 Gutherson 5 Mansour and Taka as our utility on the bench.
BA wanted to keep him another year but we don't have the cash to beat a roosters offer and the younger lads have stepped up so I think we'll be ok.
