Pearce Replacement

From what we've seen of crossland, there is a lot of physicality, commitment and fitness, but not much else.

I'd be quite surprised if Clune is fit but not starting at 7 round 1.
 
Be nice to see the kid play a couple games first before we start calling for him to be in the top 17 already.
Just to be clear, this is what I believe Obi will do from what has been said through off season news. I do agree with it though.
 
Mann is a good footballer but he reminds me of a lowlights reel of Kurt Gidley. The guy will put on two tries and then drop the ball 3 times.

O'Brien seems to be the only guy who can't see how that isn't contributing to a successful outcome
 
No doubt Mann is a good footballer. He is playing NRL level so he is certainly good.

His problem is he doesn't quite fit anywhere. He is just not better in any one specialised position than players who do specialise in that position so he can't own a spot for himself. Coaches love him as he can fill in practically anywhere other than front row and do ok.

We need better than ok in positions though, and that is why he cops it.

I agree, although I think 13 might be his spot in today's game. I'm happy to see how he goes there.
