Yep. I expect Townsend and Moore to have minimal impact

Don't we normally wait until half time of the first NAB challenge game before making an assessment like that ?

All I expect or want from Townsend is blocking, hard tackling that hurts the opposition, protecting the likes of Cotchin, providing some grunt in the contest and easing the workload for Miles...if he does that he'll be a good pick-up. Don't need him to be a star or the cut price version of Treloar.

Most I expect from Moore is useful depth.

Yep, need him to do the things he is obviously good at very well consistently

President Peggy O'Neal has said the coach's contract would be discussed at board level early in the year but it is not on Hardwick's radar

Yet it's nearly May, the fifth month of twelve.
I wonder what early really means,

This thread reminds me how much I posted in the off season like I expected to win a flag.

If you read this thread it would become obvious that I was not thinking we had the leadership to even improve let alone win a flag.
