He really digs into the line and forces a defensive decision.

I’m not expecting miracles, but he is an out and out halfback which should bring some stability and direction to the side.

Kicks goals
Can pass both sides
Good kicking game

Can’t ask for more than that from your 7. If he makes a few breaks and scores a few tries in amongst that, then that’s a bonus.
 
Been at least 4 months I think since I last logged onto the forum. I decided to take a step back and I may decide to do that again. I’m not sure how long I’ll stick around if I do decide to step back again but I have watched all the games since I last logged on except the Cowboys in Townsville that was a rough one. But some things have changed since I was last on so here are my thoughts.

First off we managed to sign the Fainu brothers. I haven’t seen to much of Samuela but Latu this kid can play. I think we may have snagged a good one here. Obviously hasn’t played first grade yet but the talent is there. I think he’ll be a good acquisition for us going forward. Also signed Sullivan which I don’t mind I think he’s got talent but injury prone by the sound of it. If he can stay fit and not injured we may have another good one with us. Aidan Sezer I think is a good signing as well he can help mentor both Latu and Sullivan going forward and we do need experience in the halves for 24.

Sheens not being coach for next year honestly I’m glad is not happening. I know there’s talk that he stood down himself and maybe he did. But you can see his best days are behind him. I know Benji was seen as being the main coach despite Sheens being listed as head coach, but Sheens only getting 3 wins as coach for someone that’s experienced as him is pretty pathetic. I gave him a chance but his record in England was poor and even his record in the NRL the first time around wasn’t that great either. If Benji can get some good assistants we may do better in 24. John Morris was a good choice plus we now have an insurance policy should Benji fail. If he does Morris I believe is the next head coach of the club now hopefully we can get another good one.

Now the big one… Luke Brooks. If you go and check my old posts about him you’ll see that I’m not a fan of his as are a lot of people on here. Some were upset that he’s leaving but for me I’m glad he is going. Both the club and Brooks it was time to part ways. We had to go in a different direction. Some felt he was low balled honestly I think he wasn’t. 550K is good money for someone that’s achieved nothing in their career. If he did take it I could’ve lived with it but I’m glad he’s going. I do wish him luck at Manly, but we didn’t lowball him we just offered the right money for someone that’s playing around that kind of money. The deadline for me wasn’t a bad thing either all clubs do it. You can’t wait around forever to wait on a player deciding what to do next.

Sorry for the long post but yeah wanted to share my opinion on what’s happened since my last visit.

Be careful mate you might get crucified for your opinion on Sheens, he’s Dally M Coach of the year according to some on here.
