    You never know Master.
    After a few seasons of serving his apprenticeship for Parra he may return.
    He realised it was going to be tough getting a crack for us with others ahead of him. Can't begrudge the young bloke.

      I was thinking the same mate. And I'd add he would be ahead of Keighran for a halves backup or 14 position. I see AK as more of a Centre.

        Saw this online this morning, so we have room for 2 more players in a top 30, but do we have any money? I guess they leave room because some of the development players may be added to the top squad during the season.
        Top 17 except for vacant wing spot

        Teddy
        Toups
        Momirovski
        Manu
        Sualli, Smith, Naiqama
        Keary
        Walker
        JWH
        Verrills
        Collins
        Crighton
        Sitilli
        Radley

        Watson
        N Butcher

          AK’s defence late last season in the centres was abominable mate.

            Centre is a pretty difficult position to defend. AK has trained mainly at half and dummy half since he joined. I'm guessing he will be practicing centre defence over the summer.
            It only got away from him at the end of the season. His attack was awesome considering his lack of real game time.

                The Killer was a shoehorned centre. He'll be better for the run and the preseason training. Much like Josh Hannay before him, he'll be a workmanlike centre who kicks at 78-80%. Watching him last year, there was never a 'aw crap' moment with his goalkicking.

                    Listening to Connor talking, he sounds like a few years away and he's really grown up. Looking forward to watching him play.

                      I don't think (hope) there will be a standard starting 17 next year. Following a few seasons of injuries I reckon positions will (should) be rotated quite often during the year, whether key players are fit and available or not. From the stands it really looked like Robbo flogged our key players the last couple of years ( except Walker thankfully). This results in injuries. You can't put all our injuries down to bad luck.
                      We have all positions covered this year and I'd like to see our second tier players given more game time and a chance to develop. I understand that Robbo wants a culture of playing tough/through injury (ala Cronk/ Cordner etc) but I think leave all that to the back end of the season when it counts.

                        He flogged them cause of the injuries. I’m sure he would have loved to have had the luxury of running Jarred off the bench for the whole season like he did in the first couple of games. But no we had too many injuries and Jarred had to play far too many minutes. To keep winning we need to be playing our best players. It’s what they get paid to do. We can gradually build up the minutes of the young guys.

                          That's what reserve grade is for.
