Agree with the Rams, GTC - they didn't want to know about. Bit odd considering Australia is part of their assigned international territory.

49ers embraced it - be good to have them here again. One of their media pack has you tube of trying Australian foods - he didn't like tomato sauce,  but liked Vegemite.

Apparently, there are quite a few international games - my son was saying London (3), Germany amongst other places.
The idiots chose to come a day or so before and stuffed up. Now they are looking about it.

I'm thinking with Amartey coming in Harry McKay will play the role Young was doing.

I said similar when i was pushing for us to get King in to be the #1 target.
Harry as the 2nd ruck does wonders for our team balance and lessens the need for someone like Young.
But you need to have the #1 target to allow Harry to do that.
Whether Amartey is that player or not.....we'll see.

I was scrolling through and happened across this thread.
It was only a bit over a month ago...but it all went pear shaped for Lewis.

What happened?
Was it the pressure of finals?
Was it how he was used in recent times...not really settling or having a fixed role.

Or was what we were seeing back then 'just a flash' in the pan and not sustainable.

The common denominator seemed to have been "confidence".
He had periods where he didn't seem to believe in himself or his own ability....and that led to the hesitation.

At the end of the day his delisting wasn't as surprising as it would have been a month ago... and there's probably not a lot of argument over the decision to cut him loose.

It will be interesting to see who we replace him with, and whether he gets another opportunity elsewhere.


To me Young's demise commenced in his second year with us. I thought in his first year he was a ripper and was a significant upgrade on Jones. Then the wheels fell off, dunno what happened. Was he struggling with personal issues off field? There were rumours of a rift between he and Weiters? I dont know what happened by his confidence fell off a cliff and that was the beginning of the end for him. Shame, nice fella with all the physical attributes needed to play the game where he did.
