    Grunt lacking

    Scary thought for next season - with Hall, Hudson and Ward all departing, our muscle and mongrel for next season is alarmingly minimal.

    Other than Picken and maybe Addison (if he stays), who do we have to provide a presence and enforcer type role...

    Grunt is overrated. We lack more talent, speed and nouse.

          Bugger! we've got an under 12's side
          Don't piss off old people
          The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

              Panos, T. Hill, Williams, Cordy, Roughead, Jones, Grant, Lake, Minson...

              We have a fair few talls.

              Good talls? Well - time will tell.

                Guess so. Just wish we could get some consistency (ie: no more injuries) with Williams. And we desperately need Lake back but that goes without saying. Consistency from Minson as well.

                  Consistency?

                  Will's performances are fairly consistent which is why he has struggled to get a regular game.

                    Fair call. We need some regular GOOD form from him. With Hudson gone he really has to step up, or we need to get someone else.

                        Guys that can split packs and make opponents look twice are invaluable – sure they need a little skill and ability too. Think back to 97 and how good Mark West was – added such a presence in September. Pity his finishing wasn't quite as good...

                        I depict a bit of spirit in young Schofield though – maybe he can step it up...

                          What you wouldnt give to see a Mumford in our colours next year. I hope big Will can really step up.
