Things couldn't be much worse so why not a dubious penalty try?

Look at the bright side. Last year started very strongly and finished a rabble. This season might be the other way around.

Happy for Hammer to get that. Otherwise it was going to go down as an all time shocker.

The players that aren't up to it, will be evident.

On my list from the start, has been Kerr, SoS, Aitken and Bostock.

I will watch the game later tonight, unfortunately, I am a youth football coach, and both my teams were playing today. u17 girl and u18 boys.

I think Aitken goes ok. Bostock..... not sure about him. Probably needs one more season in the QLD Cup but even then I'm not sure.

I think training might have been rewarded in that first team announcement. However, I think there are a few there that aren't first grade quality. And yes, I have said it many times. If we are serious, and I am sure we are, we will change them.

This is our second year, and I don't expect us to run before we can walk. Bennett's job was to get us started, he has. When he leaves, we need progression, and to do that, we will need to cut adrift some of those that were recruited to make up the numbers/fill out the squad.

We will also need to hit on a marquee player of some sort, it wasn't through lack of trying, however we need to announce to that league that we are serious. When we do that, others will follow. Herbie and Flegler are a good start, but cant be the end.

Aitken isn't a first grade standard centre. I don't mind him in the forwards or on the bench.
