The only bloke out of the ones you named who contributed anything last year was Lyons and he clearly wasn’t playing to instructions because he was still dropped.
As beer-man has already said a few honest triers will give improvement over what these guys contributed.
If they have a good injury run it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they find 6 or 7 wins
Gold Coast should have grabbed Andrew Swallow when they had the chance.
Then they could have made the two brothers co-captains.
Then I could have used the pun, but two Swallows don’t make a summer.
Gold Coast really know how to screw things up for everyone.
But yep I have no problems with him in their leadership group. Committed, hard, durable, sets a physical presence, and as a basically one-out ruckman he’s in the action a lot.
Even if he is as slow as a wet week.
I also found out on the weekend how he motivates the players:
He was heard screaming at one point during half time “if you guys don’t get your shyte together, I am going to eat you!” He apparently ate a few during the off-season so they are all pretty scared.
