I think Gill is right, both Sheridan and Hughes have done really well for young defenders and should be able to be depended on next season.
Yes and no. They still have much to learn and we need to make sure they’ve got the right players around him, which is my main concern.
I was expecting Sheridan to have a huge season this year. Much like Finn last..
I think he's still got a lot of growth and this years average squad didn't help the young fella! I still rate him.
I haven't read much of this thread as it's fairly depressing but my ideas are -
Sign Dyer and De Jong and that's your forward line sorted with Kosta.
Get McGarry back ...
Get rid of as much dead weight from this year as possible... bring in an import CB at the level of Sakai. And then hunt through the aussie 2nd division for some bargains!
Yes!
We need something from the Gillion/Dyer/De Jong/Waine/ Patterson/ Myer Bevan… (who have I missed?) …even Sarpreet or Matt Garbett… if we get one or two of those players we’ll have filled gaps and start to look good. Sarpreet or Matty G then we have freed up an import spot. Billy T? Yeh I know. Musa??
McGarry…I’m not so sure about. Loke and Sheridan cover there? Or an import?
If we can find a defender to replace Wootton from Aussie or NZ then we have a lot more flexibility in the imports. Perhaps a LB who could cover CB in a pinch? And another tenacious CM to pair Rufer?
A defensive CM may seem contradictory, but if we can press and win the ball and release it quickly into our attack we’ll score more.
Ah! Forgot about Supyk. I feel when he arrives it might be with a bang. Don’t think it’s far away.
