Woolford doesn’t rate faz or wood so that’s why they aren’t playing and Wardle, innes and Russell will all be playing Saturday too

I thought the youngsters weren’t allowed to back up games like that. Even if they are, is three fatigued players any better than three inexperienced ones.

That’s for u16’s, 72 hour rule

Can play full back well too. Very good player

Rossy has been playing more centre and fullback than wing recently. In lower grades he was always a fullback, and was a match winner as a fullback.
I suspect Woolford wants him as much for his attitude and work ethic as his playing skills.
He was a park footballer who got a chance in his mid 20s to train with an NRL side, and he quit a 100k a year job to live on 20k and train his guts out till he made it. He still spends his off season paying for sprint training and works harder than any other player in the NRL. Brad Fittler had him in a city rep side and couldn't believe that he got up at 5am and went for a solo run before the squad did a six hour session.

we do need to sort out this full back, woolford doesnt seem to be happy with rankin, too small and hes inconsistent

gone with gaskell last two games and he has gone ok.

but then we still need a partner for brough, tried rankin and it didnt work

Re: Off contract : Wed Oct 03, 2018 9:06 pm  

Looks like Rankin on way out but a former player coming to replace him and not Ross
Mamo gone, trying to get Dickinson to bulls and Farrell maybe to Workington while Walne still a mystery

Re: Off contract : Thu Oct 04, 2018 5:25 am  

I'm racking my brain trying to think of former players that might come back to replace rankin.

I don't see why we would need to bring in another winger so I'd assume full back or half.

If that's the case I can only think of Grix/Connor/Brierley/Brown

Out of those I'd guess the most realistic would be Brierley but I wouldn't see any as an upgrade...

Re: Off contract : Thu Oct 04, 2018 8:20 am  

Not Brierley
