Originally posted by BUDDY View PostThere are much better players than both Perrett and Graham. But for the moment they are all we have got and they are part of a fantastic backline. Perrett is a far better dummy half runner and Graham is a far better defender at centre. Both are playing out of position at wing but that is the only spot for them in the current team. I can see both players not part of the team next year if a better option shows up.

And I love a good bandwagon!Last edited by Juggler; 08-01-2010, 09:58 PM.

Originally posted by BUDDY View PostPerrett's defense has been shocking this year up to last night. Watch that game last week against the Broncos again. Nobody can question his dummy half runs. But his concentration in defense has been one of our biggest defensive problems this year. Last night he played his best game all year. Let's hope they have worked out our defense on the right side otherwide Morris and Cooper WILL score tries on that side.
Unless I've overlooked a try that night?

Originally posted by BUDDY View PostAll I am saying and I think dice was saying is that next year Pez as well as Graham could find themselves out of the team. I'm sure Ferguson would be there if we get him and if Justin Carney overcomes his injury, he is faster, stronger and a far better defender than both. If you remember Carney, his dummy half runs were also as good if not better than Pez. Don't you find it funny that we have targeted a second winger to buy for next year? But their positions this year are safe because there is nobody else around.
Carney prob came cheap because he is trying to re-establish himself while Ferguson I'm not sure of. I dont know if anyone realised how well Linnett would go. Cant remember much about Carney because we only got Fox last year and I really only watch us regularly if i'm not at the game.
ooh and did i mention how much i love bandwagons?

Their decision making this year has improved game by game. Despite out numbering us on plenty of occasions last Monday night they Broncos failed to score on one set play on our left fringe. It wasn't until Gillett ran a straight line and there were a few poor attempts at a tackle that they got through the line, totally irrelevant to Perrett's defense.

Originally posted by Chooks4Life View PostGraham was shocking that game and perret is essential to this team whats your point
Even you think Graham was shocking in that warriors game. Why? because of one incident where half the team was guilty of ball-watching? What about the fundamental error Perrett made just before halftime which let the Eels back into the game? Of course all is forgiven because we won... but if we lost...
You don't even get the point. I like Perrett but the wing is a speedsters position. If we get more speed into the team it will be to add speed not to replace speed.
and why is Perrett "essential"? Are we incapable of winning without him? You really think the 10 dummy half runs he made was the difference between winning or losing?

Juggler here is a link to Justin Carney. Built like a brick shithouse. He did cop a bad leg injury last year and has been on the verge of making it back during the year only to be injured again (not sure if it was same leg injury). If he can overcome his injury problems he will be very useful on the wing. As I said, if we get Ferguson then both Pez and Graham had better be on their game.
BTW we all seem to love a bandwagon.

Carney's natural position is in the centres... I'd like to think that he has been bought as depth. Steve Naughton who if you like height dice will more than satisfy you. He really impressed during pre-season training was certainly ahead of Linnett will be interesting to see what happens next season if he can remain injury free.

Perrett adds value with his dummy half runs. He is like a hooker without the balls skills or defensive workload. Yet if Smith put Jaubs on the wing everybody would laugh because he is short and slow...
Perrett is a great toiler and may still become a great fullback after Mini retires. But he will never be a great winger....
