absolutely.
i thought the longer break between semi and final would have helped us - instead it seemed like the cowboys shorter break meant they didnt cool down, and came out at full speed and we were just a bit slow off the mark. im not concerned, it just didnt go our way.

He played really well in the nines but at present we have two young halves that forced him to fullback in U20s and look better organisers, also his brother is also supposedly better than him as well.
Mind you none of these three are ready for 1st grade. Maybe Kodi is

I still want to see more of Kodi in defence. He clearly has a strong attack, he seems (from what little I've seen) a player who can read the game well (something I also feel Hunt will be better at with more practice as he seems to have it too) and definitely has some skills, but stick him in the middle and how will he go? He's still just a kid, and a smallish one at that - can he defend week in week out against the best in the comp? KHunt was different as he was a FB...much less defensive workload from there.
Not saying Kodi can't do it, we're screaming for a standout and I'd love it to be him - but I'm not getting too excited yet. Don't want to burn him out and ruin his future.
I guess we could always play him as bench hooker for the next 3 years......that'll be good for his development, right?

fair call, though im not really looking for a 6 to be an organiser. hunt needs to be that man. i want a 6 who can spot an opportunity and score points.. has a bit of attacking flair.. so far ive seen a bit of that in kodi and think he's worth a shot.
on his defense, well 80 mins verse the warriors this week will be a great test for him. i hope he can stand up to it.

in all of this i really hope we dont do any stupid juggling acts like last year with players changing position all over the shop mid game.
pick someone to play 6 (who isnt barba) and give it 4 or 5 rounds.

if he wasn't disappointed i'd be worried about his commitment to the club.
its something he seems to be moving on from and we'll see the best thaiday in the past 3 or 4 years in 2014, in my opinion
after seeing him rip in on the weekend i cant wait to see how he goes this year.

No - No typo - I would keep him in the team until Hodges is back and then switch Copley to his preferred left centre instead of Reed and then Reed to the bench - after seeing Copley build and speed in the 9's I really think he will become a very good player inspite of all the knockers on this forum and as for my mate Jack - as I have said many times before - he is way too slow and only tackles with his arms - we need attacking centres who have speed and ability - not just someone who can chase an up and under and catch the occasional one

May I ask why the fark we would have a Centre on the bench?

If you are referring to Oates as a centre - he is not a centre - remember he -played wing at the end of last year but has also been earmarked as a second rower - so as a utility player he gets my nod as we have others in the team we can juggle if need arises in the backs but I really do not want to see Gillett or Glenn forced to play out in the backs because of an injury - it was a toos up between Oates and Mills for the 17 but i picked Oates based on his potential and options he offers

I also agree Reed will end up in the backrow but whether he is all arms in defense or not, he'd be very, very close to the best defensive centre in the game. Though a pairing of Hodges and Copley as centres does look promising.
