    @Steve Think I would rather Clarke signed to go overseas than Big Lester.

    I don't think Clarke will ever hit the heights his physique and junior career promised.

    He needs to be a bully. He seems to be too nice.

      Dallas Macleod named MOTM surely on current form he must be in with a chance.

      I would take Proctor before picking McLeod. Proctor is starting to play some useful footy.

      Nankivell, Poihipi, TUJ, and probably about 2-3 more ahead of McLeod at least eh.

        Not really bolters, but there is starting to be a silly amount of loosies in contention that are ramping right up at the pointy end of the competition.

              Bryce Heem. He's a perfect utility back.

                Yes and for a big 34 year old he seems to have a decent turn of pace.

                    @Magpie_in_aus Probably too early to tell. What happened to Luke Romano he could easily make a comeback, he was great last year for the Blues.

                          Can’t see how he fits without injury to Cane or Paps.
                          I get that he is performing at a high quality level but there’s only so many spots in the squad.

                            @Bones He covers 12,13,wing and we've played him at fullback. Is extremely consistent, hardly every has a bad game and makes everyone around look better.

                            Would be a great player to have in a size restricted squad.

                              Put that way he would be a replacement for Havili.

                              An injury chance.

                                  Covers 12 better than other midfiled/wing options. Should be ahead of Ennor in the rankings

                                    I'd agrre wth that but would also not want Ennor anywhere near the squad 🙂

                                      @Duluth I admit, that's who I had in mind more than DH who is also emergency 10 cover. For a centre/wing Heem is significantly better than Ennor, and covers two additional spots.

                                        ok, real bolter time....sam gilbert, one of the leading point scorers, excellent goal kicker (hasn't missed since round 6 i think) good at 15 and comfortable in the centres and can cover 10 (especilly outside smith or fakatava) if needed....

                                        ducks for cover
