Derickx and Post should receive another year, White shop around with or offer another year and McGuane Rookie List or shop around with too.

hmm for post at least.
1/  age hes only 22.
2/ the lack of genuine tall defenders on the list even if chaplin comes.
3/ i reckon theres is some decent signs that post will be a decent player. one more yr is warranted but no improvement next yr would see him get the chop.

Derickx has more mobility than Graham, Graham surely is GONESKI!

Post as depth key position player, he will be fighting with Astbury, Elton, Griffiths next year as that KPP and can create selection pressure if (IF) he gets aggressive!

Tigers Matthew White, Jayden Post and Tom Derickx are believed to be in talks about remaining at the club.

He's worse than McGuane at the same age and you're defending him?! You've changed.

Post and McGuane were only getting games as they were being shopped around, shame they couldn't show a bit more

whos defended anyone. and no i havent changed. i think it prudent to give him one more yr. i usually give 195cm plus players plenty of time. there have been plenty of good glimpses from this bloke mixed in with the crap.
like most i have grave concerns unlike most i think or hope he can go up a gear or two and improve.
would certainly keep a 30 game  4 yr player over a 90 odd game 8 yr player. at least with post there is scope for improvement.

again why would we keep him
1/ hes only 22 a lot of times it takes really tall players till age 24 before they click.
2/ the lack of genuine tall defenders on the list we have just 4 including the rookie darrou of which   post is one of them.
3/  as i have said i reckon there is an upside to him and there have been good glimpses mixed in with the real ordinary one more yr when all is considered is not unreasonable.  if he cant sort out his weaknesses next yr well and good give him the flick.

Post's closing speed is 'glacier-like'. How is this going to increase with age? :huh3

Yet you lay into Vickery who is younger and taller? And want to trade Rance when he is only 2 months older and light years ahead of Post?
