A bit like Clark Keating you think?
Sammy Draper is a legend. Hoping the time off allows his hands to healâŚthe extensive strapping was a major drawback and required him to chest mark everything Hurley style.
Good rucks can play til theyâre 35. Happy to keep Bryan and Draper around for another 10-15 years.

Those 2 together for a long time would be great.

âThe madness of San Draperâ that is a line!!
That would be the bloke who won a plenty of games off his own boot for us until injuredâŚand was a kick away from a Norm SmithâŚyep, Iâll take it
More along the lines of could be anything but winds up being average.
Itâs uncanny how they have so much in common.
Draper a chance to return next week against the blues.

Is he more important to our setup then most on here give him credit for.
Since heâs been out our midfield has been rather ordinary.

Draper and Goldy as a duo give us a difference.
They both are different kind of rucks and it helps that Draper can play forward.
So if one is having troubles with the opponents ruck, then we can try the other. Obviously the Port game is the outlier when neither made a difference.
I do think Parish being out of the centre bounces also means the opposition can sit on Merrett a bit more. He doesnât get the clearances he does when Parish is there and we rely on Perk, Caldwell and Durham to get the clearance which is a âwork in progressâ at the worst of times.

We really, really, really, really miss this guy.
Not sure the Blues would be the best to bring him back unless itâs in a dual ruck setup, TDK might trample all over him
Surely we donât rush him and wait until after the bye.
