His biggest problem is his body is made of tissue paper. He also can't play with injury. Loses confidence quickly too.
I'd trade him for Majak Daw as he can play ruck better and could help out Mabior in the gym. :laugh:

What would you pay for Majak? Pick in the 30s?
I think a straight swap with Griff and a small upgrade like our 4th rounder for their 3rd rounder would be fair.

You can't get rid of everyone and being a team of midgets griff so  keeper for mine!

Why wouldn't we replace him? Doesn't matter how many talls you have if they're shyte.

So closest to pin on contract length? He's an injury prone-hack so it's a safe bet Danny Boy will give him more than one year...I'll stick with my earlier prediction and say three years....

one thing I will say that, apart from constantly getting injured all year, he has been getting more physical and holding onto some pack grabs.  If that keeps trending, I am gonna get a griffy

Expected to sign huh, more like no other club wants him.

The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Please don't say that. His manager could be reading this forum & tell him his worth 5 years.
He is worth 2 years & that is pushing it. Vickery was on some rank $$$ so that will free up the nest egg unless they offers him a 9 year contract  ;D

So if we are planning this big shake up and the end of the year, and we keep signing D grade players, who do we plan on getting rid of?
Probably Maric, McKenzie, Chapin and a couple of rookies would be their rationale.   

I personally would get rid of 20 of them. Trade or delist.
