Its good to know that we have a rough idea of what i side is gonna be like next year. Its good that Matt Orford is not coming here in a way because he is old injury prone and the best part of this story is that Matt Orford is now likely to wait out the 2011 season a campaign for the BEARS in 2011 and play for the BEARS in 2011 if the bears can gain ommision into the Nrl this looks more likely to happen than Orford going to Canberra.
Look surley SK is not gonna make his mind up now Mortimer / Robson because let me tell you he has his work cut out for him look i like Robson just not as a halfback but if SK wants Robson to play halback he must teach Robson to kick and run the ball more because Robson a pretty stocky guy and possibly through a dummy into his game would be very handy a good thing about Robson is that he doesnt get injured much. As for Mortimer he needs to learn he to kick and he must take control of this team he is heading in the right direction in gaining some muscle weight around the legs he needs it to kick far. I think we should try to mold Mortimer into a Jamie Soward type player in defense we should have someone like Ben Smith to lower his work rate this would help his offensive game. Tom Humble and Brad Murray should still be in with a chance i think.
The Mortimer / Robson combo worked when we had guys like Todd Lowrie and Kevy Kingston there to help and take the load off but i think many people are forgetting this still may work we could have Casey Mcguire doing a Kevy Kingston type role Casey Mcguire looks in good shape for a 31 year old. The injury of Shane Shackleton hurt a lot more than we thought it would if think Shack could play a Todd Lowrie like role of if Shack cant do that Maitua can. Reni Maitua will be like Adam Blair is to Melbourne he will add argression. I think players like Webb, Walker, Atkins were bought for depth in positions we nedded it thats all Webb might have a shot and same with Walker. Its good to know that we have depth in positions we didnt have depth this year for example when Guru and Tahu got injured that hurt us.
We will have the fitest side that we have hade in years plyers like Hindy and Burt were describing this off season as the hardest pre season that they have achieved in years we should know our position or were sit by the trial games this year we will defently have one of the best benches in the Nrl. By the way Ossie confirmed that Tahu will be at our club in 2011 if he wanted Tahu is just taking time off get his head right for 2011.
