Hard to argue. Suckling, Williams, Crozier, Richards, JJ, Daniel and arguably Lynch & Webb all ahead of him in the queue for a half back flanker spot. But we need another half back flanker, whose shown little to nothing on exposed form. Why...

Except Williams and Richards are earmarked o play further up the field. Daniel wont be a perm HBF, but will pinchhit in games on a needs basis. Is Lynch really a HBF? He is more like a winger HFF for mine. Webb, hasn't been played on the HBF since his first year.

I agree that there are a couple ahead of him, but his form at the back end of the season was solid. Enough to earn a 1 year extension.

I respect your argument, but I can’t agree on this one. It seems like a missed chance to turn the list over. I hope he proves me wrong.

Personally, I wouldn’t have re-signed Roarke. I know he’s only roughly 10 games in, but I think he’s long odds to become a good player.

I'm actually with you FK. Not many, if any of the players mentioned are really in direct competition with Roarke long term. It's clear we've had a strategy of drafting gun players who might transition to the midfield at the value picks we've had (obvious midfield starters aside - but think about McLean, Lynch, Williams and Richards as examples who might) and when thinking about it, we're not as overly blessed with half back talent as we think we are.

But he could become safe and solid depth. You know, the type you can count on to come in and do a job if your preferred option and possibly second option for his role is injured.......

Not every club at the top of the ladder gets the run Richmond has enjoyed.

If it came down to Roarke v Honeychurch - then I prefer Roarke on the list. Honeychurch is a proven list clogger.

Yeah nice post FK - Webb doesnt qualify as hes almost never played their in the senior team nor been effective doing so - where Williams, Richards and Lynch settle is yet to be determined but all have displayed some flexibility.

A lot of people wanted to axe Lynch at the end of last season or were tipping his demise this year - I always felt he had enough attributes to make it.

I think Smith has some promise - i feel like his kicking could improve - and that his game has room for growth but that he might be able to do it. Hes got a good spring and some athleticism so lets see

I agree

Me too.

I agree, but I still think another 12 months doesn't hurt us. If anything he takes the spot Biggs should have held down for another 1 months but didn't. If in 12 months time he is out of the team, displaced by a new recruit or one of the guys mentioned then fine move him on. With the turnover being mooted this trade period, some continuity in the Group is a positive.

Agree as well. I think he has shown enough to be a cover player. Has limitations but find more value in Smith then say Webb or HC.

So we have JJ, Suckling, Crozier, Wood, Daniel, Williams, Richards, Cordy, Morris, Naughton and Adams who will all play before Smith in defence... Surely that's enough depth in that area of the ground?

It was interesting Smith played forward last week, and did ok.
