Yeah ! and I am thinking more and more that the club really is restricted financially or just GH by his nature refusing to spend . Cuthbo got me thinking when he said something like 'I will help to bring the young ones on ' .I think the club is banking on another golden generation

I have no problem with that if that is the case, and I have always been a big fan of Briscoe. However, if the cash tight is correct why resign him? and I would say exactly the same with Hall aswell? why use up much needed money for wingers, when it is easire to bring in people on the wing and do the position, than it is for the other positions, positions we are desperatley short on.

As for Walters, not even worth discussing. That is just madness.

I'd go as far as saying resigning Briscoe is madness. Will be on a hefty wage too no doubt. A shadow of the player he used to be, offers little in attack these days and highly suspect under high balls. We' d have been better off re-signing his brother.

No problem with Briscoe at all , but Walters and Mullally shows the level of mediocrity we have sunk to. For god sake bin Ferres too

Fine with Briscoe, since his horror show in the CC last year he has actually knuckled down and got his form and confidence back.

Mullaly is a worthwhile squad player and has improved, so no issues with that.

If Walters is not on a high wage I’m ok with it, if he’s on a high wage its highly questionable

I agree with this not sure about re signing his brother though but get your drift.
Unless we have done a great bit of business and slashed his salary then we should be moving TB on.
I would rather have someone from the 19`s or Handley on the RW better still look at getting McGilvary or Johnstone but that will cost money.
