JWH and SKD

[Thirteen]

Guerra wont go anywhere at this stage , he is loyal to the RWB ( even if they offer him unders )

JWH is an essential cog in the RWB machine, however money will sway him at this stage.

SKD has played some solid footy over the last couple of seasons, however if someone offers him overs he should take it as his time is limited and his position is heavily contested.

Just out of curiosity, how do you know this?

I asked him, you can too he is back in the country today.

Vaughan is a gun. He will be one of the stand out forwards of 2015.

Chook.

I truly hope JWH stays because when he is on he's the best prop in the comp. His intimidation, dominance at the ruck, short passing and ruck defence is outstanding. I think he will have a great year in 2015 as well which will make it even harder to say goodbye.

If we got Paul Vaughn in exchange that would soften the blow a bit because other than Isaac Liu we are missing a prop with great footwork at the line. Vaughn would be the next Bromwich under the right coach. He would be an excellent acquisition if we are to lose JWH.

I believe Guerra will stay to remain under a good coach. He's got a ridiculous amount of potential. Just a natural footballer with exceptional body awareness. And so full of natural aggression. If he can work on his passing and offloading and maybe his motor a bit he'd be top 3 backrowers in the comp in my opinion.

Both will be on the wing this season though and I'm not as convinced that Toops is that far ahead of Skids as a winger.

I think we'll probably lose one which isn't a catastrophe because in my opinion Macdonald has the potential to be, if he's not already better than both as an out and out winger.

It's a wonder he didn't get picked in Origin and the 4 nations squad this year.

Right on Yak...no one is irreplaceable but when it comes to dominant front rowers only James Graham comes close to JWH.

Yak, I am with you here - JWH is one of my favorite Props , but I believe he has been unfairly targeted by the Refs ( either consiiously or not as others make just as many indiscretions and escape attention), which often causes him to fall off his game.

Vaughan caught my eye when he debuted against Cowboys ( Scott and Tamoe ) but really stood up when playing with some talented team mates for Italy - He is young but has a long future where ever he ends up ( Ricky might bring him undone though).

Guerra Loves Bondi life and looks settled , I suspect that his passing and Offloading may have been curtailed during the SBW era by the Coach and for the same reason it may be unleashed. He is a disciplined football player who plays for the team, not personal glory and follows instructions to the letter. Possessing a spectacularly long and accurate left to right pass ( Mini scored out wide off a 3 man cut out in a Cowboys game) which he has used rarely is a remnant of his Touch background where he played for Qld - expecting more attack this year.

He is the best prop in the game. And I was told today by a sponsor of the club that JWH is staying and will sign a new contract.

Taumololo would soften the blow.

I fkn hope you're right mate. His retention is critical, not only for the on-field performances but also for the fans. A real favourite.

[roosterproud]

so if we lose skd and jwh. who is in line for the long term player agreement. jnr, maubs, .?????..

[Hawkeye]

I asked him, you can too he is back in the country today.

I think his manager will have a word in his ear about telling people he'd accept unders to stay !

That is what a manager does publicly, but player satisfaction, suitability and well being also plays a part in the process. Have you noticed a change in the Players attitude and the confidence he shows on and off the field?
He works hard, he plays the Game hard, he plays clean , he plays tough, very articulate and has a level of intelligence masked in humor, coach able and hates being beaten.
Ask your self what value do you put on contentment ?

I doubt he would tell a club supporter anything else but "Yes I am loyal."
