I’m just waiting to see how our R1 team looks like.

Think we will know what 2025 is in store for us looking at that side - Laird to HBF and Murphy out of the team.

Even Laird at half back with his insipid efforts would be a bad sign. It's not hard to select 7 back half players ahead of him. Murray, Butts/Keane, Worrell, Max, Hinge, Cumming, Bond, Nankivell. That's 8 and I'd have Jones ahead of him as an actual small defender, but happy to concede that to avoid argument.
 

CNN: Throughout the book, you share stories of your self-inflicted wounds. In some way it is an anti-self-help book, showing how failure can help in your success. Why write about the failures?

Tyler: I always tell people that success is not the absence of failure, success is persistence through failure. So it does show how failure can help. I mean I think there are a lot of people who are crippled by a failure. Crippled by something that goes wrong in their lives. And we’re crippled by a fear of failure.


Yikes.

Yeah and it seems he missed the point. You're supposed to learn from the failures, not repeat them.

Smith, Laird and Murphy should all be out of the R1 side, but we know Nicks suffers summer amnesia so I'm preparing for all 3 to front up in R1, Nicks believes they are all a big part of our future.

I’m fully aware of what should actually happen but Nicks to remove Laird from our side - I just don’t see that happening.

Don’t disagree but Nicks thinks he is on the right track - probably Smith misses the cut but the other two? Who ****ing knows!
