Our new halfback should be

[austin71]

Kieran Foran.

Cooper Cronk.

Johnathan Thurston.

Widdop to 6
Milf to 7...Sold!

 

[Porthoz]

Nope.

Wow, glad no one ever told Lockyer he couldn't do that.

 

[_wwong]

Bloody hell mate have you had a head knock recently?

Why would we want to do that?

It just seems to make perfect sense.

 

[Morkel]

Wow, glad no one ever told Lockyer he couldn't do that.

Lockyer didn't do that. He trusted his halfback to steer the team around, and got involved when the play required it, he saw something to exploit, or he needed to take the game by the scruff.

Yeah i remember that. I'm not sold on widdop , although he is playing great atm . But look at how well he went when the team wasn't firing.

Most halves struggle when their team isn't firing ... they can't do it on their own

Their attacking coach last year must have been a hack.

Yeah you're right, that bold part isn't because of game management skills he acquired with time, and he didn't hone his kicking skills while maintaining his running game until very late in his career.

Wait...

 

[Sproj]

So are we looking at something like this for next year?

1. Boyd

4. Bird

6. Widdop
7. Milf

 

[Alec]

I don't understand why Bird would come if he wasn't promised either halves or fullback.

Haha! I don't know how many times it's been said but JD was not therw attacking coach.

I still just don't get why we are going after Bird. If they feel the McGuire at lock thing isn't working for whatever reason, we still have Arrow.

To be honest I just can't see Arrow being our starting lock.
