  • Wanna know what's funny? Lurker commented on my post about this exact topic, but here he is starting a new one. 

    • Because you were making silly assumptions that he was signed cause Gutho was apparently injured.

  • Just watched a highlights package of Rankin.  Might be slightly better than I recalled.  Runs nice holes and is similar to Gutho in the middle.  Not getting excited yet but 160 First grade games is not to be sneezed at. 

     

  • Will Smith 2.0

  • I hope haze dunster and the other young fella who played well in the trials are before him. Need to keep backing our juniors give them a shot

    • Jordan Rankin has been signed for two reasons, firstly we needed to fill out our roster by June 30, you will see a bunch of teams make these kinds of deals with fringe players up until the deadline, & secondly, if we do get an injury to someone like Gutho or Fergo late in the season, we don't want to be throwing a rookie into the fire of finals or late season footy, we want a guy who has played a bit of NRL footy and won't be overawed by the occasion.

      Haze Dunster looks like a very promising player for the future, but round 20 or the first week of the finals are not the times when you want to throw him in for a debut.
