He's done his job is what he's done. 2nd season in in which 9 games were played, averaged the 10 possies a game in excess of 70% efficiency and gave us an actual solid, but not overly potent ruck combination where we had bit players attempting to fill the role, you can't expect Kosi, Blake, McEvoy or Rix to be 2nd ruck, and with Van Reenan out for the season with a foot injury, Gards did what he was asked to, ruck.

Sure his best is probably behind him, but he did his job and hopefully the midfield can gel with him more in '09 after being exposed tohim in actual games & pressure situations.

Yeah no worries. 4.5 games per year he did his job. Great return. As long as you are happy with that. Paid good money to contribute half a dozen games in a year if that.

Great return like Rocca right? Maybe Cloke, even if he wasn't injured he was about as useless?

Can't expect a ruckman who had an injury interrupted pre season & season to keep up with the pace of the game, he still gives a stable ruck option where before we were using bit players to fill a void. So, one would hope since he is fine now, he'll have a better pre season and thus better season, hence 1 year contracts.

Would love to see Ben drag the saints to a flag - Gardy on the other hand is gawn!!

I know Cuzzy Bro nearly destroyed our club and broke the member's hearts - but the manlove is still there.!!
