Ben jones position!!!

[Andrew Walker]

I would have Symonds in the centres next year

[stsae]

Symonds has backrow written all over him. Benny Jones I'd play him off the bench as a utility he could fill in at hooker,halves or centres. James Aubo wouldn't be in my top 17.

I agree with that mate.

[Pass the Ball]

Am I the only one that thought Symonds was just OK for us, and may only become an average first-grader at best..

I hope you guys are right, but I can see Symonds only getting limited chances from the bench as a mobile backrower next year...

The 2010 solution -

Ben Jones - halfback

Carney - 5/8

Pearce - hooker

What happens to Friend then mate???

IMO Jones is a very good utility. He can play 9, 7, 6, 3, 4, 1 and I wouldnt worry about his ability to slip into any of those positions during a game and get the job done. Hes very Ping like with his versitility.

Pearce I could only see in the 1/2s and at a pinch at 9. And with a very good partner like Carney I believe he would be able to control one side of the field and develop his running game.

Carney will be the dominant half, controlling the game as he did with Canberra with his kicking. Pearce I could see as having the same kind of dominating role as Smith from Melbourne. Jones, I believe would be a top class player if only given the chance to settle into a position. He is a good defender and has promising ball skills.

Friend my friend will be on the bench breathing down Pearce's neck..

Can't see it happening.

The Carney/Pearce combination could end up the Blues combination. I can't see Smithy splitting that up.

Friend has potential all over him. He reminds me a lot of Buds. He should be able to play 80 minutes next year. Will be next in line after Farah and Ennis in a couple years time.

Jonesy is exactly what stsea (I had to retype that three time ) said. Every good team has a great utility player and Jonesy is exactly that. Can play in many areas. One of our only players who gives 100% each game. Good leg speed and a tough defender.

Look at the age of these guys. Add Symonds, Hargreaves, Williamson, Cordner to name a few. This year will be quickly forgotten. Well once next year starts
