I can only assume he is either now considered back up for the younger guys, or else Bolts just doesn't want him around. I was not a fan initially, but he's been ok the times I've seen him this season. I would've thought his wage is the lowest of the low, and keeping on for one more season would make sense.

Much will come down to the ins and outs of list management.

Maybe that will happen. We got him pretty cheaply and he's probably seen as low cost insurance. Jaksh is also well on the outer and it'll be interesting to see whether he is retained - not even named as an emergency this week and unlikely to get another senior gig this year I would think.

Yes, fair points cookie. If you look at this season, he hasn't done too much wrong, and for all his oft discussed limitations, we do seem a better team with him there. If he's feeling a little aggrieved at being constantly overlooked, it may not be entirely unjustified.

I reckon Thomas, Walker and Weitering are certainties to play assuming that Weitering is fit, so that leaves room for one of Sumner, Graham, Whiley and Everitt.
I doubt that Whiley will get a gig and Walker will probably take Sumner's spot, Everitt's form has been down but he's capable of kicking multiple goals and scoring has been our biggest problem this season.
Graham's pedestrian, he lays a fair few tackles but doesn't impact on games and he's pretty slow.
Everitt, Walker, Thomas and Weitering in the 22, Graham if Weitering doesn't play.
Casboult's lucky in my opinion, Jones must really be on the outer.
Hopefully Murphy's back next week and we have a few more wins to round out the season.

I would have thought Sumner might be a good chance to play because of his speed, especially against the Saints?

He's got some pace but he doesn't get much of the ball and doesn't kick many goals, he looks like he might make the grade eventually but he'll need to improve by a fair margin.

Weitering has to be doubtful if named on the bench.

He needs to get himself supremely fit over the PS, if he does that he will be a jet.
