The thread for players who need to deliver more than their last season or two to be able to remain on the list. In order of the danger I consider them to be in for delisting at the end of the season.
Kicking off With Brett Meredith: His debut season he showed a special ability to read the play and a good skill set off the boot. While that may have ended in injury he has been unable to recapture that form and appears to play at less than 100% intensity. The same report comes from those who watch him play in the seconds. Meredith needs to find the space and deliver the ball to the forward line this year or it's all over.
Lewis Jetta: Talent talent written all over him but a disappointing second year followed up by a very poor return to work standard. This man has the speed and yes, the skills to make the wing his own but the work and mental aptitude needs to follow.
Andrejs Everett: Shows glimpses like the game against the eagles, He's never going to be a star but he can find the ball on the hff. He wont start the season in the firsts but at some stage he will get a chance.
Jarred Moore: Completely the opposite from the first two. It's not lack of effort from Moore that puts him here, it's just the question mark if he has the football ability and the natural fitness to play the game at this level. We've seen his courage and his effort but too often he comes up short against his opponent. Must find a way to kick a goal or two during the game on a regular basis.
Dennis-Lane: A controversial one no doubt but was unable to get himself a spot in 2011 despite a forward line functioning less than optimally. Probably the coaching staff are looking for a more consistent output from TDL rather than just floating in and out of games.
Seaby: The new interchange rule and a hard recovery from injury didn't help Mark last season but he was given plenty of shots to reassert himself into the team. Sadly 2011 saw him beaten to often, particularly when playing as sole ruck. In a team without the pace of others Seaby playing the ruck is a focal point not just for the stoppages but a go to man for pressured defensive clearances. Longmire saw fit to leave Seaby's second half of the season in the ressies despite him dominating that competition. At his age he needs to find himself with regular game time.
Jesse White: Much has already been discussed about White on this board over the last couple of seasons that I don't want to tread old ground. Still way to much natural sporting ability and power to dismiss that all I can hope his that 2012 See's him turn it on again, because if he has a season like last year his name has to come up for trade week
Any other nominations people?
Feel free to fight about the opinions, god knows the board needs it to fire this off season up.
