Think it will be hard to pick GI with any confidence until you see him play/see his role.

Im having same issue with Hayne.

BJ then, but he murdered me last year

Thinking same thing, Hayne to BJ. But I really want to play Croker or Cotric, and Bj/Croker/Cotric Ctr spots looks dumb

Pita Godinet

2 games at 5/8th in 2016 for Manly. Scored 45 and 37 in 80 minute efforts.

10 games off the bench for the Warriors in 2013
Averaged 20 points in 30 minutes. Averaged 34 in games where he got at least 40 minutes.

Worth a punt if you fancy his job security.

Anybody know where Kyle Turner is? Not named for Bears either.

Is BJ back in the swing with his team mates or is he still considered a kent, so you can expect them not to pass to him and he score shit and the team finish towards the bottom ?

Ive spoken to a few peoples in and around the club, who are ALWAYs diplomatic about team mates. Except when BJ is the topic. Universally unliked, untrusted and unrespected

Im thinking of bringing him in too. I wouldn't take what ive said as Gospel, but usually where there is smoke....

nah well i think its fairly obvious he would be a grinding character.

he has lost 10kgs in pre season apparently so maybe he's pulled himself together a little bit. I doubt it lasts. I'm not overly confident of having him in my side but I'm unable to find much better for the same price.

No DPP for Munster named at full back ?
