Fisher is almost officially gone and hard to see him get another game.

Would have preferred Carroll but he is a pure centre bounce player.

Carroll should follow Fisher out the door IMO.

The Kemp argument is probably a bit futile because it all depends on what happens with other players...and what the side looks like in five years time.
What I'm pretty confident of is that Kemp has shown enough to indicate he'll be a big part of that.

All I'm saying is don't close our minds and pigeonhole him.
Robbie Walls would still be playing back pocket if we thought like that ;)  :D

Nah, he'd be retired by now - as a career back pocket !

Three games before getting injured, must be a record

Yep it’s the same old same old with the same batch of players that every year break down.

Martin just can’t possibly be on the list next year even if he said he would play for free

I always say it, I couldn't give a crap what we are paying, first and foremost for me is can we depend on them week in week out?

Dont need Martin to beat WC......you take on players like McGovern, Martin, Williams etc you just have to hope they are fit at the business end of the season and can stand up for the big games and finals. Reality is they miss a third of every season,


The other issue with blokes like Martin is how much coming in and out of a team unsettles the gameplan. Just can’t get any continuity which is why you just can’t have the amount of them we have all on the one list.

...Assuming it's a fair dinkum injury and not some 'creative' management. ;)

And even making the assumption all those injuries are genuine....I bet that's not how Adam Simpson is spinning it.
He'll be saying "Look at that, that's how much they think of us."
I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more out before game time.

It may not make a huge difference, but it might be motivation enough to give us just a few concerns.

Agree. Also, how much do the comings and goings affect the other players?
Reality always wins in the end.

Looks like Barrass is out...
They're treating us with disrespect ;)  :D

Barrass a late out for WC.

I expect it to be tough early on. They have a decent midfield. Ours is very compromised without Pitto, Crippa, MK, Martin, and Cerra. The game will allow our 'next man up' method to be fully tested.

We have a perfect opportunity. Who will step up?
