Julian rowe and Dane Swan late to training! I wonder if there is abit more to that story as julian rowe was dropped from the seniors last year for a similar thing! he has no place in our team if he doesnt give his 110 percent because he is not laden with talent!

It was in the paper today that they were going to be disciplined by their peers for rocking up late to training! I remember hearing that rowe was dropped last year for the same reasons and he didnt play for the rest of that year! I was just wondering whether a similar indiscretion could see him out of the firsts or out for good! I do rate rowe but for where our team is at now he cant afford to be stuffing around! Rowe would be good in a team like Brisbane where there are enough tough bodies around him so that he doesn't have to do that sort of thing. Coz he cant play when out of his comfort zone! Rowe is good in a good team but shocking in a shocking team!

One is still a boy.
The other is a very young man.

They play up - they pay the consequeces.
Nothing much in it IMO.

dane swan was in strife last year when he was with wayne careys nephew and they belted a security guard in melbourne and it went through court and everything so dane swan isnt the angel that some ppl r making him out to be.

julian rowe should be dropped back to willy but not coz of this crap with turing up late to training but coz his got crap skills atm and needs to go back to williamstown to work on them.

Rowe plays a wingmans role to perfection. He finds space, is good overhead, has good skills (left anhd right), kicks proper drop punts unlike those mongrels seen from C Morrison or Swan, his major flaw is that these kicks are too high in the air, too rushed and they go to an opponent a lot.

He is definetly one to keep, but needs to work on his decision making, timing etc. Unlike McGoof, his kicking style is very proper and technique wise, its on track.

I wouldnt say to perfection, he doesnt have pace and he doesnt have guts and he doesnt make contests liek he should! but yeah i agree with u he is a required player but there is no point keeping him in our team! because we need tough players not all soft ones!

Gotta keep the boyz in the team. Ok so they play up lets not fool ourselves into thinking these guys dont fall foul of some of the very stringent rules clubs sometimes impose.

I don't think anyone on here thinks Swan is an angel.

I reckon we put them out on the park Friday night and see how switched on they are.

Ok, so make up your mind, is he a required player, or isn't he? :confused:
I would think that a "required player" is one that you'd want to keep in the seniors! :p
