Article in the Herald the other day claimed Sheridan Gallagher moved to Canberra to get a chance to play fullback and went through her stats in the season so far, saying what a great success her move to fullback has been.

If that's all true, letting her go and not giving her a shot at fullback is the biggest retention blunder since we let Ben Kennedy go to Manly.

How a positional switch has turned former Knight into Raiders running machine

The dual-code talent faces her old club this weekend.

Quote from the article.

After three years as Newcastle's try-scoring machine, crossing 25 times in 32 games on the wing for the Knights, Gallagher's move to the Raiders was motivated by a chance to wear the No.1 jersey.

But Lucy Spain is very good.
Her defence and line break and try assists are very good.
She could do with a lot more time in the gym though.

I thought she moved because her partner works in Canberra, but if that’s true that they weren’t willing to give her a run at fullback then Jeffries actually is an idiot. Why wouldn’t they give her a run and see how she went before they went out and wasted a signing on Bo?

Might have to change my mind back about Jefferies. Thought he’d turn things around because of how well they started the year but that’s all fallen apart now.

Sure he may have done a good job with the juniors but if it only amounts to us our top players, what’s point? Too late now, he’s just re-signed but maybe he should just be the pathways guy, oversee the program and let someone else coach

Bo,Finau,Simone and Grace all named in reserve grade
So all definitely dropped unless last minute injuries
At least Jeffries dropped players he didn’t think performed last weekend

Wentworthville have the poorest defence in the comp, giving up 50 against most of the top sides.
The minor premiership is wrapped up if we can run in 50.
Last round won't matter.
