Aaron Heremia would have been perfect for the role

Great point.

His energy and tackling is immense in my opinion and would hope he is still fit and hungry enough to keep this up

Smith is not a 13. Bring him in and start hiim bring Nicholson off the bench simple

When Basil signs players I expect he takes into account where that player will fit into his side.

Utility players are fine but certain roles are best suited to those who play their best in their own particular position.

Smith shouldnt even be mentioned in the same breath as Rowley. Rowley was pure class and well Smith isnt and never was.

smith AND duffy hookers

and get new stand-off

Didn't we let Duffy go, then later re-signed him - from Chorley??



I trust Basil to make the right signings for the club. Next season's squad will be more his choice than this....let's leave it up to him to decide!!

I bet Vikingman is claiming he is off to Melbourne to replace Cameron Smith.

Didn't know VM even played??

It's a straight swap deal! Doran for Adam Blair too!

A word not always associated with Mr Rowley

Correct Frank -e.g. a centre who can play 2nd row is usually too slow or not big enough.

These points are spot on and as mentioned in Kohe Love threads a problem we have competing at international level we seem to want huge players just because the likes of Inglis are huge rather than promoting skilful RL footabllers who make up with their feet and hands for lack of size!

Utility players are cracking for squad members but for first team they aint too useful!

For example you couldn't say to me Coyle is better than Webster & Smith as he can play 9 & 7 when Webster was clearly the better half back and Smith the better hooker!
