While I’m not in the outraged brigade that some are that RCD isn’t getting a game I do find it bizarre that he can’t even crack a 26 man squad or be named as an emergency.

Is it possible they offered him a contract extension which he turned down and so they aren’t giving games to someone whose future lies elsewhere. 1000% speculation ofcourse.

I know it doesn't mean much but seeing Castagna on the field send chills down my spine.

[Rampsation]

Im outraged that Castagna is in the 22 and theres 6 blokes on the ICB that are better than him. Hardwicks a clown. Hes becoming more like Sheedy everyday with his favorites.

George into the starting 18  .

If the MC drops Maurice out of the 22 tomorrow night then they are clueless.

I'm in the outraged brigade because it just sends a terrible message. Seriously,  not sure what else the kid needs to do.

As for your speculation, who knows but I don't think anyone could blame the kid if wants to leave

Clearly not a favourite

Should be noted MRJ and Daniel have been away for a family members funeral so 1 or both of those boys may miss. Willie is out this week for the eagles although obviously it being his farther the relationship is a lot closer.

I was told earlier this year that RCD was seen by the Club as a replacement for Cotch and his role. While Cotch is in the side (and possibly going on next year) then that would exclude RCD. It doesn't make sense to me but that is what I was told.

That's fair enough, TK.

It just that there's been no mention that either would miss for family reasons (funeral). Surely, the Club wouldn't name them if they weren't going to play?

Nank in some doubt according to 7 news

Not sure but I saw in another thread that MRJ and Dan wernt at training as they’re in the Tiwi islands for willie snrs funeral and then saw willie jnr was an out this week for the eagles.

No you're correct TK. I wasn't disputing what you were saying. Just stating the Club hasn't said anything about them possibly not playing and has named both in the squad.

Seems like we try to do anything to fit George in that team  how many times has he proven not up to Stack and Rcd should atleast be in that 26 man squad.

I think we already know they are clueless given the Cantstandya farce that continues
