Re: Our Backline Defence

Lee and Hawkins shouldn't be playing first grade at this stage whether it be wing or centre. They look so lethargic and show zero energy on field that they practically invite traffic there way. Wighton is good full back, but I think out strongest side would look a little better with him back at cent...

Great effort. This guy seriously reminds me of Clinton Schifcofske. Has really stepped up in defence, elusive runner, great under the high ball, great goal kicker and a potential great leader. I'm pretty confident he would be our best fullback option if he was given the opportunity. Would love to se...

Re: 2013 Rd 21 V Storm: Teams and Previews

Even with Wighton, Lee and Earl all fit you can pretty much bank on Robbo holding his spot. Unless he hits a very bad patch of form, or costs us a game, he starts.

I'd even go as far as to say he'll be back in the #1 with Milf back on the bench once all troops are available again.

I really liked watching Robbo trail our forwards looking for that second phase play.
