    That's exactly what I was thinking, a very usefull commodity.
    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    Vogels may not get much of a go in 2006 either, but by 2007 I expect Leo Barry to hand over the reins of full back to Vogels, with Leo off to the pocket of half back flank.


    He will have to get a go, if he features in our long term plans. He turns 23 in a few months. He's not going to wait forever, and he *should* be out of contract at the end of the year. I see him as a full-forward down the track - O'Loughlin is likely to retire in 2008-9. But in the meantime we can certainly do with another option down back.

    We are fortunate to have four young KPP options in Richards, Grundy, Vogels and Roberts-Thomson. If we can keep them all - and assuming, of course, they all develop as expected, then that is our spine for much of the next decade. Not before time, too, with Mick, Baz and Leo all 29 this year. I still fear we'll rue not taking another young tall as a backup in the '06 draft, but that can't be changed now. Hopefully the four of them all cement a spot so it doesn't become a problem. Releasing Leo back to a flank/back pocket would be a luxury.

    Dunkley went forward a few times, with some success.

    Yes, a few bizarre helicopter punt goals, yet I always associate him going forward and kicking goals with us getting smacked.

    LOL, probably right, I don't remember the outcomes.

    Ed:

    2.5 games won with him kicking goals, the others were losses (sometimes floggings), this includes the drawn out draw against the Saints.

    But if it was a typo, and you meant the 2005 draft, what about Currie, Wall, Barlow, Rowe and Prior. Surely they were all drafted as additional "developing" talls.

    And before you point the obvious out to me that they were all taken in the rookie draft, so were Grundy, Vogels and Shaw a year earlier.

    Unbelievably he was recruited as a forward
