Should be part of the fringe player brigade but unfortunately we don't have the players to force him from the team. He is one of the reasons we have players like Sheezel getting leather poisoning.

I'd keep him as insurance until the kids take over.

I don’t understand why we can’t get him play a “Tom Atkins” type role with us. Maybe it’s him, maybe it’s the coaching but he should be the perfect hard inside defensive mid

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

He’s no where near the player atkins is. Probably have similar limitations but atkins is just so aggressive at the ball and man

I think we are kinda saying the exact same thing.

I see Ross as a nothing player just goes missing to often and not enough output.
