Can we just start next season now?

[Recky62]

SO, Verrills gone with a detached retina according to NRL 360 ...did uncle Nick kick a gypsy or something ...were cursed

Ok now even I'm turning into a glass half empty person..in fact, there is not even a glass now..

[Johnny Brass]

I don't agree. Burton is one hell of a footballer and imho as good as the other 2 and he would just slot in.

Cleary is the games premier half and luai is a very good 5/8 and together they form a fantastic partnership. I agree with your views on Burton he's a hell of a footy player and would be great back up if either go down. I think he's the man to lead the dogs off the bottom of the ladder, big strong half with a good running game, can create space with his passing and has got probably the biggest boot in the game.

Anyone on here that would rather have Cleary as our half over Sam Walker?
Let me re-phrase the question - would you rather boredom over excitement?

Just imagine how good Walker will be when he is Cleary’s age.

[TeddyGoat]

Verills is undergoing surgery tomorrow according to Paul Kent on nrl360 tonight. So anywhere between 4-10 weeks

[Tommy Smith]

Just imagine how good Walker will be when he is Cleary’s age.

Walker with an extra 8-10kg plus 50-100 FG games under his belt will be frightening. The game's best player and not even close.

Please hurry up and sign a 5yr deal!

You just know that no matter what Robbo and the team will show up trying to win every match. We may be crippled with injuries but we will still win more games than we lose.

Yep exactly. I wouldn't wanna ditch all our good work this season.

We're 4th on the ladder and could solidify that position with wins agains Parra, the Cows and the Drongos (Faders after that). IMO all 4 of our next games are possible wins. Assuming we don't then lose to the bye, we could be top-2/3 with reinforcements like Cords, Smith and Perenara entering the squad.

So no... I don't wanna start again given. I'm pretty confident we can put ourselves in that position. Won't be easy but any team with Teddy, Walker, Radley, SST, JWH, Crichton, Toops, J-Moz...etc is a big chance of winning if it rocks up with the right attitude. Add Cords, Suaalii and Peranara and who knows! Lotsa wildcards there (plus the return of Verrills, Smith, Sitili...etc in coming weeks).

Sam Walker would be first player picked for any team looking to build their team around one player.

The prospect of having Walker and Keary in our halves for the next 5 years is so exciting!

The only thing stopping us winning multiple titles will be injuries!

If Lam didn’t go down then Walker would most likely still be playing for Norths. Or he may have been dropped by now.

This team will win premierships for sure!!! It's top-4 material, even with 1/2 our players out and the other 1/2 still building experience.

On the positive side, Marschke looks to be improving every week and looks a good player in the making

Yes he's my new favourite and I felt so sorry for him on ANZAC Day when he got sent off

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes..

Nathan Cleary without Jerome Luai by his side would become a plodder, whereas Sam Walker is looking like a superstar with Drew Hutchison by his side..

Let that sink in for a minute..
