Stick with Thomas.

There's no doubting Thomas looked lively in the position

...and stick with the Thomas / Mathers partnership?

It was better than I expected and seems a fair bet for the interim, y'know, until the messiah arrives....

I don't think Rohan is daft enough to believe a partnership of Thomas and Mathers will see us competing with SL sides for promotion.

For the meantime I would say it's the best available to us. When Gaskell is back then obviously he's going to be playing 6. I do think Thomas has the making of a good Scrum half. Hopefully Smith can bring out some Mongrel in him and get him directing play play as he wants it. He has certainly got a nice pass on him.

Get him taking the line on a bit and I'd back him to score a few as well.

Gotta be patient with him though as supporters. If he does more good things than bad things then that's OK. I don't expect him to be the polished article but I think there is definitely potential there.

Finally, a rumour!

Kieran Moss, 22 year old reserve grade fullback from Parramatta. Apparently we've offered him a deal for the rest of the season.

Re: Recruitment & Retention Latest : Tue May 31, 2016 9:49 pm  

Hmm does seem strange with Clare playing so well. But maybe he might want to put Clare at centre. Only thing I found on Moss is he's a British passport holder and was top try scorer in Toyota cup a few years a go

Could be in the mould of a Mullaney/Kearney type of player?
