Don't have enough high quality players and still carrying far too many duds - just one star goes out and we go from outmuscling the red hot flag favourites to being outmuscled by a mediocre mid-table side within a week. Some serious and aggressive forward thinking during trade week is required.

That's why Morris, Batch, Grigg, Conco, Grimes and a few others need to be put on the table for trade.

Grimes is one of our better players and still hasn't even hit his ceiling - missed him badly after he was subbed out with injury.

Agree but we can't get a season out of him, he has value and must be considered.
