Yet they tolerate lambs in the front row who get dominated on a weekly basis ?It's not going to happen. Sponsors wouldn't put up with it.

But that just isn't true. I like Barba but I haven't seen him do this once this year.
Even if we do let Barba go why the **** would we want Boyd when we can have Milford at fullback? Then you could spend Boyd's money on a half or groom Taylor for the role.
Another back rower? Really? We are already a team of back rowers and full backs. Enough is enough. Glenn is a good back rower who just needs to get some quality ball and learn to pass it to Copley for starters.
We need a dominant prop. Milford and a dominant prop. That's it.
As for Mason, wtf? His days are over as far as I'm concerned. Won't he be 35 next year? I'd rather we develop our own than spend money on another retirement villa.
Why should we settle for Glenn? He is average. He was good a couple of years back, but he hasn't been able to hit that kind of form consistently for a long time now. He never passes the ball, his runs don't trouble the defense all that much, he hasn't been that good defensively. He constantly runs bad lines. Why should we settle for that?
In 2008, we had a player that played in the backrow and the front row. He dragged defenders, he bent the line, he put teams on the back foot when running into holes and with his footwork, he could offload, he had ball playing skills, he could put on big hits, and he could bloody kick too. Can you guess who that was? He wasn't the best and he had his flaws, but **** me he provided some good impact off the bench for us that year.
Why shouldn't we pursue that again? There are plenty of backrowers out there that are far better than Glenn and would probably jump at the chance to play under Bennett.
With Barba and Milford in the side, we could use a player like that.
As for the prop, we have one coming. Garbutt will be that prop, mark my words.
Are you talking about Dave Taylor?
there are plenty of nrl players over the years who have done time and been signed by clubs...players like gary winter (pretty sure that was his name)from manly did years in the penn before they signed him..the broncos have shown they will chance there arm for success. ..although barba and dugan are on a lighter level both had extremely checkered pasts before we took a shot at them..wayne has a list as long as his arms of guys he has signed with long pasts. .
