That would be a huge and very expensive purchase for any club to make and I don't know what Nathan's intentions are going forward.

But the last thing you're going to get a headline out of me is that we're going to go chase Nathan Cleary.

See you, Gus.

The goal this year is to pick the best team we can every week to play the best football we can and to win as many games as we can.

That's the goal.

We're certainly not going to do that after round 10.

Okay, but we saw Parramatta last year.

Would you like us to give up on this year?

Absolutely not.

Right at the moment, we need Josh Curran fitting well and playing to the best of his ability.

That's what we need all our players doing that.

We've got some injuries for this Friday night as well.

The team we've made is going to struggle to get onto the field, so I'm just going back to see what the team actually looks like Friday night.

That's where we are at the moment.

We've had as many as six or seven players unavailable at different times.

We've had some young fellas like Mitch Woods and Jack Todd who haven't pulled on a boot this season, though we're expected to be a part of our squad today.

And it's in the mix for selection going forward.

As you say, we've debuted a couple of players.

That's the positives we get out of the difficulty we're going in at the moment.

It's a baptism of fire for those fellas, but they're good kids.
