Its fair to say Liam Jones is an extremely important part of our defensive structure, who's career was saved by not only a positional change, but a little bit of TLC and perseverance from the Club.
Yesterday l, read an old online article about Liam Jones at around the time there was talk about whacking him defence in the 2nds and it got me thinking just how many players could have 'made it' if the Club had stuck with them a bit longer.
My three are;
Blaine Boekhorst - soft as melted butter, but not every player is going to be a Jimmy Buckley clone. Could run and carry, had a great sidestep and kicked goals. I'm pretty sure he had about 25 and 2 goals in his last game. He is exactly the type of receive and carry type we need atm and thought another year was appropriate.
Andrejs Everitt
Could kick goals and was a taller flanker type who could pinch hit in a few positions. Played a few really good games for us when we were really s**t. I reckon he was a bit stiff to be let go.
Jed Lamb
Tough, lowskilled lockdown player who did his job most weeks. Played with his heart on his sleeve and in my view, is exactly what we need in our backline at the moment on opposition smalls who tend to cut loose against us more times than not. Had a bit of mongrel about him that would have made a couple of our young ones walk a tad taller.
I'm sure there are others..
