We are certainly looking weaker in the midfield without Lambert and with Shedda in limbo.
Plans for the trade period and whether they come off, will dictate what happens with JR.
No idea how you have come to that conclusion. He has been played many times over the past few years when many on here have want to see him get the arse. I was a bit perplexed to see him get dropped this week but to state Dimma doesn’t rate him is a massive stretch.
Agree. Probably a lot of worries on Rossy by most. He knows what to do when Dimma tells him. I'm glad we don't have big headed players thinking they know better than the coach.
Ross is never going to be an AA but for me, a more than acceptable blue collar mid worker in the mould on Dan Jackson so worth keeping
One man's 'dimma doesn't rate him' is another man's 'its up to him to make Dimma rate him'
This idea that Jack Ross is a victim, played out of posi, now Dimma doesn't rate him, is bulldust.
From his presser, Dimma seems to rate Ross and just felt he needed a better balance for todays match so expect him to be back soon
Where do we think Ross stands in terms of a néw contract? one of the last not a good sign. Is he looking around for a more regular playing time or he is in the strange range if a third contract wanting a bit more and potentially squeezed by salary cap? Or is he bit rated?
If I was Ross I would have the feelers out.
If Taranto comes to the RFC Ross wont get increased opportunities to improve his station, he is limited to a degree, he is a role playing mid not a top end mid.
He is Grahams replacement when Graham is not playing or Cotchin, he is also arguably now behind the Sonz.
Next year if Taranto comes he gets bumped back behind Taranto, the Sonz and Graham.
He seems like a good kid and has Richmond Man traits, he's just limited.

I think he will get a 1 year extension club is just wanting to secure the rest before they know how much they can offer
I think he'd be justified in feeling a bit hard done by not getting regular games and will likely have the feelers out. He's a victim of circumstance though, if he'd been recruited 15 years ago he'd have played 50 games easily by now, but we were a crappier side back then. I hope he signs on though as there will be a spot for him once Cotch retires.
If he could run faster, and speed of decision making he'd play every week.
But he doesnt .....so he doesnt unfortunately.
I doubt he will play as many games in the Tigers seniors next year if he stays as he has this year with the injuries.
Sonz has usurped him, add Fridge and Martin back into the side, as well as Cotchin and the possible arrival of Taranto.
Then there is also Stack.
Ross has a problem, so does George
