Thanks GIC - I probably should restrict my comments to what I've seen  Smile

It will be interesting to see how the Jones and Casboult go today.

I think Graham is certainly going to struggle to survive at CFC. I didn't think much of him at first when he arrived but then he seemed to lift and hopes were raised. Unfortunately  he's tapered away again, in the games I've seen him play at least. An NB depth player only IMO.

As far as Sumner goes, he's just running out of gas now and needs to recuperate. I'm hopeful he'll be OK next year as he does show some dash at times.
Reality always wins in the end.

Our big problem today will be Stefan Martin, he's been in almost AA form over the last four weeks.

They score more heavily than us, they leaks more points but as we are a weak attacking side it makes for a close game.

Sumner didn't play in the 2s last week - probably kept out as an emergency?  And won't 'this week as both NB teams have the bye.  His recent form has been ordinary save that his defensive work has been valuable.  And he has pace which we sorely need and which is Graham's biggest problem.

Sumner is coming off a serious foot injury and no pre season, I'm sure he's hitting the wall. He doesn't get involved enough and that could be due to his lack of miles in the legs. If he can stay healthy and get a few pre seasons under his belt, he will be an asset. He has pace, has a case of mongrel, and good skills by foot. It is injury that has hurt his career so far, Liam just needs a bit of luck.

x2...Was 50/50 on Sumner when we recruited him but he has plenty of pro's and not many cons...attacks the footy well, takes a good mark for a small man and has some pace..
He needs an injury free preseason and I am sure he will be a handy player for us...
