In a perfect world you don't have a guy in the reserves on a 4 year contract. Unless it's Daniel Jackson

But we don't live in an ideal world, we live in a world where he is our best option for the time being,
It's that simple Spud

Probably need to turn this into the greatly qualities of David Astbury thread, so far;

- he is a good leader
- has good character
- has a good football brain

Any others ?

Sounds like the perfect footballer if only he good get his hands on the pill.

how about we turn it into the comparison thread with other tiger talls.
lets see he certainly gets more ball than griffiths to date and just as much as vickery maybe we should cut them as well.

who said anything about cutting him?  :huh
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

So Claw, Are you suggesting that Astbury is better than both Vickery and/or Griffiths?

Ok, nothing special but he moved well which was a good sign.

But if they were picking round 1 after Friday night, he wouldn't get picked
