It’s going to be a big call from Garth to shift Don on for Brenko, if that is actually the plan.
He is a magnificent finisher, quick too. Not great with carries out of his own red zone early in a set but he’s never really been that kind of winger. It will be a shame if it’s the beginning of the end for the Don this year.
Carty was poor in the trial v Cows IMO. Some good moments but overshadowed by poor decisions and low workload. Obviously in James spot for the trial but will need to do a lot more to make the 17 one would hope.
I don’t see the value in Will Matthews either… Hipgrave or Boyle seem to make more sense… more size, aggression and with that (hopefully) impact off a bench.
That said, feeling cautiously optimistic of a better showing in 2019 than last year. Squad looks good, nice depth in key positions, and MoFoโฆ what a beast ๐
That Spry kid is a big lad, I saw a few of his high school games in QLD and Flegg games last year for the roosters, Mitchell/Inglis clone. Great pick up and very lucky to have him, as I think he has a very big future.
