  • No big deal, Brailey has played a total of 36 games over 3 seasons - injury prone, definitely dodged a bullet.

    • He isn't as good as he was when he was at the sharks mick.  Also he's nearing 30

      • Agree chief, Robson would be a great signing 

  • Not unhappy about this.

  • I mean he would have served a purpose with him being better than what we currently have but he is also not the future. Seemed like a stop gap til someone like Coinakis was ready for example, not saying Coinakis is the future just as an example.

    • Ryley Smith is the future.

      • He's 22 on a train and trial lol

  • Not the end of the world. Would've loved to have Brailey come in and Lussick leave, gives us some good options at hooker until Smith or Coinakis or whoever from the pathways are ready.

    But it does seem with the reported signings of Jack Hudson and Mitch Black, both young (ish) talented 9s to add to the likes of Smith and Coinakis we seem to be going with padding up our researves and pathways with talented players and letting them fight between them. 

    Anyway, as long as he stays fit and is rested for 15 mins a match, Hands is good enough for a team still rebuilding.

"I actually think we do win, i am happy to cop it if we don't. But i understand the idea that unless you win a comp it is a failure. I know there are positives for us just making 8 this year but also do not go against people who expect top 4 or more."
