In: Lalor, Hotton, MRJ, SimsOut: Green, Mansell, Lefau, LynchFor some reason mansell was given number 7 and is an untouchable now. He’s just a poor mans Castagna, that’s a pretty poor player.

Needs to be stripped off him and given to Taj Hotten at the end of the season

It isn't a significant number at the club.And please don't say it's because it's a low number. It is not a number that carries significance like 4, 8, 9, 12, 17, 29 or 30 to name a few do at the RFC

That doesn’t mean that a top 5 players can’t have a number like 17 or something, but it should mean that a bottom 5 player doesn’t have number 7. Is mansell bottom 5? Probably not but he’s not far off. Form warrants mansell being dropped. Embarrassment imo to have a number 7 running around in the vfl. It also indicates that the club seems him sticking around for a while, otherwise they just keep high numbers.
Don’t come at me but I think we need to pluck Kosi out of his semi retirement in the VFL and play him in the forward line - just as a mature body who can compete. We can’t just play kids or it’s going to be a slaughter we haven’t seen since Malcom Blight was coach of Geelong.
