What will our spine look like in 2019?

1. Guth

6. Moses

7. Salmon/Austin/Parcel

9. Austin/Parcel

14. Smith/ Parcel

Moses has gone backwards this year but backing him to turn it around next year

Dont think Mahoney is any where near ready

Dont think Bev is any where near ready for FB

King seems backup quality this - did look good last year

Kaysa seems like a good kid but just does not have the passing or vision for a first grade hooker

Smith is not a starting hooker or fullback. Could be 5:8 or 14.

would like to see how Salmon goes in first grade

Guth not sure about. On one hand he has the instincts and fitness for a fullback. On the other hand he is someone you want in the thick of it. Unless we have a better option for fullback I would have Guth there. We have other viable options for 5:8.

Norman is playing well but he wants to be the dominant half and does not seem to be able to make the right decisions, also for the sake of good club culture think we would be better without him. Moses has not been better at making decisions in the red zone this year - but would give him more time. Norman on the other hand has had his chances - is getting better but not good enough

  • Would love to know where the parcel rumour is coming from? 

    Mahoney played 80 on the weekend for 61 tackles with 4 misses and 45 run metres 250 kick metres for Wenty against a bears reserve grade side stacked with nrl players, espically the forward pack. He looks the good 

  • 1 Gutherson

    6 Mahoney

    7 Moses

    9 Salmon

  • Holmes
    Gutho
    Moses
    Prichard
    • Gutho is not a 5/8
    • Neither was Darren Lockyer.... in the beginning...
  • Does not matter as long as Moses and Pritchard are a part of it it will be like it is now absolutely crap and will never change as BA loves substandard players and can not spot talent even if it fell over him.

  • If we go after Austin they have rocks in their head
  • I disagree, I don’t feel that Mahoney is too far off. He warrants a trial in 1st Grade this Season.
    • That should of been NOT too far off...
  • Nothing will change.

To be honest I hope he fails miserably, it…"

He'll be a union player for at least the next 2-3 seasons."
