Barnett has earned his spot you would think, hes got good aggression, hits hard and has no fear all 2018 I thought. One thing I will say about Barnett is pick your targets more wisely lol come off second best a few times

Don't see why not. Brown loves Barnett & probably sees him as our long term lock, Buhrer covers utility/hooker, Sione covers back row. Not sacrificing size either, still have 4 props in the side.

30.

Only really need another fullback & half option & we will have covered everywhere with good depth. Mann could probably cover those 2 positions & if we're being greedy, go after someone like Fonua-Blake.

Woolford(Apparently can play lock/backrow as well) for Buhrer, Swap Ese for Barnett, and Gavet/Jacob/PSaulo(Whoever earns it in the preseason) for Sione and your close too.

Sione can take Fat Pat's place in NSW cup.

Not really sure how Barnett has earnt his place he is bog average.
I would have Herman Glasby or at lock.
Saifiti and hopefully Klemmer starting
Bench of
Sione
Glasby
Gavet
Lino/JSaifiti/Woolford
 
In what way has Barnett been bog average?

It’s strange how some players become whipping boys for no reason at all.
 
Barnett is average for a NRL lock or backrower, he doesn't do anything outstanding but isn't a liability either.

We have better players then him ATM.

Guerra, does everything in the middle for us.
Fitzgibbon, has xfactor and is strong in D
ESE, way more powerful with ball in hand and better D
Glasby, a clean up professional.

Barnett will be fighting for a bench spot which is a great thing, when injury comes we'll have good back up.
 
Guys like Barnett will look a lot better if we have a pack that can win the forward battle.
He tried to play hard for 80 minutes to make up for the guys who weren't pulling their weight, but if he's in a pack where he doesn't have to try to take on the big dog in the opposition every game, he'll start having a chance to run at some centres for a change, and he'll mess those guys up.
 
Surely if Griff is out most if not all of season we will replace him with another in top 30, not necessarily a hooker but someone giving us more options.

According to Brent Reed and the Lurker Napa is expected to sign with the dogs in the next couple of days and then Klemmer to be officially released to us.

I am so glad we are getting Klemmer and not Napa.

It makes it even funnier that the bulldog supporters are saying were stupid for offering klemmer around a mill a season and yet the are reportedly offering napa close to $700,000 a season.

Napa is in the USA so I don’t see how he is signing! I’d say they will release Klemmer today
