Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We were worse this year than last. Untested halves and backs whp are still leaking points fir fun amd a coaching set up that hasnt achieves anything.

If we can avoid the spoon next year than its a win.
That's how peasant Clubs operate. Avoiding the Wooden Spoon is a sign of victory.
 
NO

Just NO.

We do not come 17th and have someone say "Twal would be in the top 10 defensive Middles".

No, nope nada. While our middle defense is better then it was last year, it is still not first grade. Yes our wing/edge defense has gotten even worse then last year.

I like Twal, no he is not a top 10 defensive middle. Even with Klemmer, Paps, Bateman and co our middle defense is still not up to scratch and all those players are not playing at their peak standard.

I would re-sign twal, no delusions though.
News flash. Edge defence or should I say edge deficiencies start from the middle and one of the big contributors is having a lack of agile middles. With Klemmer, Stef and Twal all being very similar defensively it’s obvious we need to introduce some variety into our pack.

I think you have pinned the reason why Bateman does so well on the edge rather then the middle.

We have juniors coming up who could help solve that problem. Last year our pack just got walked on. We don't get walked on, we get outscored.

If it’s about shortage of spots in the top 30 then there are at least 6 players in our 30 who will never play NRL at any reasonable standard so I’d rather lose them before Twal.
We let him go and we struggle to find a better replacement- the way up is replacing deadwood for starting 17 NRL players, not the other way around.
