    Missed these RS.

    I agree the bromance is a strange one.

    Remember the bromance between Johnno and Smith. They even lived next door to each other and had a connecting door in the back side fence. In the end Johnno moved down to Torquay. Got to be careful with a bromance.

    Cam Raynor will demand more midfield minutes too. Beast who is coming off an ACL who is about to get another pre-season under his belt.
    Dev Robertson either gets minutes, or considers a club that 'promises' him more midfield time (hello Eagles)

    We haven't even considered the ongoing development of Ashcroft & Fletcher. Ashcroft is a freak who may even get rotations in 2023, let alone after that.

    And all of this assumes Zorko doesn't spend a minute in the middle, which is no guarantee either.

    If we could get Rayner home that would be some magic trick.
    Why not shove a massive deal under his nose. He's a western suburbs boy.

    That's it right there. I don't think they can compensate us properly with picks. We get in the ear of a player there and we have a bit more coming our way. We were ballsy with the Tom Boyd/Griffen deal lets make a counter strike again.

    That would be some coup. Part of me is hesitant because it's not addressing our other needs and continuing to stack the mids but he's also a great age to take over for Adz or Libba as they wind down.

    He'd play more mid/forward, but I doubt he could be tempted. Very invested with Brissie

    I do have an in, tenuous but my nephew was at school with him and in the same friend circle.

    I'll see if he can covertly get some goss.

    Edit : No, no he can not.

    Unlike Dunks who concluded his season with shout-outs to his sponsors and army of stylists ...





    ... Rayner did the unthinkable and thanked his teammates, so I don't really fancy our chances.

    Cam decided to #bemorebrisbane

    The boy from Taylor's Hill.

    You would think after getting over looked by his Dad's team he'd show more love to the team that wanted him.

    Bah!

    Jarrod Berry has a little dog emoticon in his response to Rayner… hang on, could it have a hidden meaning?

    Re: What is obvious is apparently NOT obvious to Dunks.

    So the consensus is Josh has been honeydicked into going to Brisbane without his girlfriend actually going to Brisbane.

    Nothing could possibly go wrong......
