From watching our preseason games i rekon campbell will start every game this year on the bench and be used in short spells every quarter. In those spells he will just give everything and be very effective. Just like A thompson did last year. By doing this he could get another season next year and get to 300 games.

Cambo is easy in our best 22. If Wayne plays the Peter Riccardi role he could be a very effective player for '05.

Stints int the forward line & flanks when the pace of the game has reduced, Cambo could thrive.

Wouldnt be surpised to see him in '06

Only spot for Cambell in the starting 22 is in a forward pocket. There is no other spot on the ground that he could play.

At least in the forward pocket him irrational, annoying little 'chip' kick could sail through the goals, rather than putting pressure on our elite youngsters, who at this stage of their careers do not need to learn bad habits of this calibre.

How bout on the bench?

Cambo reads the play very well. He is a good kick for goal and a decent mark and lead. I beleive he will do well in the Thompson/Riccardi role off the bench off the when the games pace has slowed.

To consistantly bag our x-captain is poor form. He has been a champion for the club. Last season he will managed 20+ touches a game, more than Judd and top 20 in the league. Our 'elite kids' will have to mature alot to push Cambo out of the 22.

Not much chance of Cambo playing on in 2006 unless we show some signs of threatening for a flag, otherwise what's the point? Looks old, fat, slow, disinterested. You can tell he's not optimistic about the project.

lmfaooooo@elite kids.

Yes, Judd is a better player than Cambo. I doubt anyone is disputing that.

Point was Wayne not only has had a sensational carrer but a solid 2004. 19th most touches in the league.

He may have confirmed it, but I would wager he'd change his mind if he's less than 10 games away from 300 and his body feels alright.
Not hard to sign him up for another year at minimum wage then put him onto the long term injured list so we can elevate a rookie.
He can be put on the veterans list so he's not taking the place of a kid too.
