can we fit him in? dont forget some of the increase in the cap would be going towards re-signings

You need to consider that LOD and Mini will more than likely also not be here. I also think we will lose a forward like Tasi.
Although I heard Warren Smith mention that negoatiations are starting with Mini's manager for another year. I still get shivers just thinking about it.

Tomkins is also another option but he too won't come cheap.

[dj_sta]

True.

I wouldnt go for Tomkins though. Too expensive for a player that has not played NRL and we have RTS.....

Izzy - definitely yes ! but after his stellar season in rugby he will have a lot of teams throwing top dollar at him in union alone. So unless he wants to return to league it will take a lot of money....

Any other good CTW/WING options out there ?

You wouldn't have to pay much to get an improvement on Edward Scissorhands. Somehow I doubt SKD will be going anywhere though.

If we are to buy one marquee player next year it must be a centre or wing.

Josh Morris was also rumoured to have asked for a release from the Dogs.

RTS - Moga - Morris/Izzy - Jennings - Toupo. I'd like to see that.

I actually have been super impressed by Mini, or more so by the coach having him play to his strengths.

We have ourselves a good 'un

The coach was the thing I was most worried about pre-season.

But every week I see things he has worked on coming to fruition.

Mini, Friendly, PearceOrf, MK, Maubs, JWH even SKiDs defence all have minimised the bad parts of their games and emphasised the good parts.

Yep the newbies have gone great but the blokes who were here have all been the beneficiaries of great coaching this year IMO.

In the clear & manages to punch the ball out of his own hands, SKD at his best.

I tell you what though that was by far his best defencive effort the bloke saved 3 trys.

[Thirteen]

He was close to being cut in the off-season for poor attitude.

What saved him Thirteen? I reckon his attitude is better but as others have pointed out, the apathy in regards to the matai try shows SKD has a little way to go in regards to consistency in attitude.

Izzy wants it here too

I don't know.

I think right side centre is arguably the hardest spot to defend in from both a decision making and technical point of view.

It's the side where; teams execute their best passing game (right to left passes), consequently the side where majority of teams send their strike players (Inglis, Slater, Boyd and to lesser extent broncos left edge with Norman proving effective to Reed/Hoffman). Most kickers (right foot) prefer kicking across their body - right to left. For majority of players left shoulder is their non-preferred tackling shoulder, which when you defend right side it's always going to be your lead shoulder. The two best defensive centres in the game are right side players for reason - Hodges and Lyon.

I think SKD is getting a lot of things right in defence and is consistently improving, in tandem with SBW and RTS.

He's great in defence, he's a moron in attack.

Watch the last 10 minutes - he saves a try and sets up both our scoring plays.

The "zero on one strip" was hilarious but he did plenty right last night.

We probably get beat without him....he saved more than one.

Wishful thinking or inside knowledge, Brain?
