I gave a number of reasons why I don't believe dumping Dwyer yet is the right move. Johnsons's tentative cameo is just one, though to jump on it obviously serves your particular agenda.

I hope Johnson comes good, I have no reason to think he won't but I see no reason to overburden the lad at this early point in his career.


I have not given any view on your other points, or the above, which I actually don't fully dissagree with. I was simply responding to the daft post that he looked uncomfortable on his only game time, and the only time you say you have ever seen him, which simply was not the case.

Spot on.
We all know Dwyer isn’t that good a hooker and is best used as an impact hooker.
To go into this season with a young lad who’s only played 10 mins in SL as starting hooker would be crazy and would be rightfully criticised by people on here.

Totally agree.

Thought I was going mad for a minute.

Woody: Can I pour you a draft, Mr. Peterson?
Norm: A little early, isn't it Woody?
Woody: For a beer?
Norm: No, for stupid questions.

Sorry but that one line is the daftest thing I have seen on here in a long time.

Yeah, since Handley was described as the worst winger in SL.

Re: 2020 | Squad talk : Thu Dec 12, 2019 6:48 pm  
I think you could argue either case with Corey. Unless we get another couple of decent players in our chances of silverware look remote. Under that scenario why not give him plenty game time?
But with more reinforcement it might not be the wisest choice as it might jeopardise whatever hopes we might have. I think he'll be a season away from being genuine SL quality as are most of the youngsters who begin to feature regularly but at some point we have to give him that step up, much as we did with Newman and Walker.

Think we need more than a couple to be anywhere near silverware anyway.

Top six represents a reasonable improvement for us I reckon.

Agreed. We cant expect silverware given where we've been. I'll he happy with 6th or higher personally. As long as we're improving and heading in the right direction that'll do me for next year. I still have major reservations over Agar but I'll be delighted to be proved wrong.

Can you imagine the pre-season meeting with the players, "Right lads, this year we're aiming for 6th".

Top 5 will be the aim I would expect.

Top 3 should be aim, but i would settle for anywhere in top 5

If we keep a nearly fully squad, importantly key players like Hurrell Gale and ward and props, think this is very achievable.
