Still have a problem with those on here denigrating the list. We are a couple of A graders (or B+) short. We do not have a
lamentable list. Unless we are seriously in to a "super trade" using Walker, why do we need to pay overs (FA guarantees) for
a flanker/outside mid without any stand out qualities.
Who would Higgins replace? Walker, Simpson, Docherty, Buckley, Yarran, Menzel, Everitt, Thomas, Robbo, the Irish contingent??????
May be a slight upgrade on a couple, but at what price?
Malceski would be a bigger upgrade, is great mates with Simmo, and comes from a "culture" from which we could "learn" if MM open to
suggestion. With our developing players, if the price tag is comparative, if we must take one, I would plonk for the "leader" for 2 years,
as opposed to perennial potential. We have seen enough of them.....and still have a couple yet to reach their potential.
The biggest issue is adding up to a handful of viable and/or highly promising talls to the list, along with a line breaking mid or 2.
Not against the Goldsack suggestion, a bankable 3rd tall at either end. Big questions still remain over the upside of Cas, Rowie and Watto, as well as the future of Waite, although I get the feeling MM is leaning towards creating "his list", thus he may be gone, if he won't accept "unders".
