But he is quite literally a turnstyle in defence, teams all year have been targeting him, and putting their big men on him. hence the reason he's missed over 100 tackles.

No doubting he has some great skills in his attack, but atm he's costing the Bunnies as many tries as he creates/scores

I'm not doubting his attacking ability, as he got rookie of the year last season. I was just pointing out his suspect defence.

he may be a turnstyle in the NRL but he might fair better in SL. Teams don't seem have a methodical game plans or execute anywhere near as well over here. and how many teams are actually that good at targeting someone in defence?!?!

well, you only have to look as far as Tim Smith at wigan for your answer. A great attacking player, makes all kinds of things happen in attack, but in defence, teams in SL have targeted him all year, and suceeded up until lately.

Wigan seem to have stuck Bailey next to him on the right edge which has helped Smith in defence

Probably another player from Cronulla then, seeing as we have signed alot from them over the past few years.

I think how it works is; You think of a player that you'd like to join us, claim you 'heard' it somewhere, provide a tedious reason as to why he may be available/come to us, then (depending on his position) write down how we'd line up, for instance, in the forwards with them in the side (see below).

8. Dowes
9. Cameron Smith
10. Mark O'Mealy
11. Willie Mason
12. Manu
13. Washbrook

A couple of people will then reply and say something along the lines of, 'where have you heard this' or 'give me a source, now!'. Further forum members will then mention how great our side would be with them in it.

Finally, Hutchie will announce that a press conference is to be held the following Tuesday at 2pm.
