Yeah if that's where they seem him they need to go all in. Think we need a bit more insurance there beyond Madden though. If we get 6 weeks into next season and Doueihi is back there I will pack it in.
My recruitment wishlist is a a prop, centre/wing and a halfback in that order.
We were trotting out 5 or 6 reserve grade quality players for a few weeks in key positions. Then Luai happened. Then Doueihi happened. Our season just seemed to snowball.
In saying that, they are part of the story but not the whole story and they should not be used as an excuse. Our attack...
Great read Jolls. You've presented a bull case for halves depth but scratch underneath the surface I think we need another halfback. Results showed last year that we play better with a game managing half.
We should be backing in Latu, but we know his injury history and his actual game...
Too many ifs and buts in those players you listed Lestronge. It's the same mistake we have been making for years. We need proven and consistent first graders as insurance.
The longer we can give guys like CTM, Duncombe, Godinet to develop in cup rather than prematurely throwing them in first grade the better, but that will require a little bit more recruitment. Even Andrews and Makasini who are a little further along need to be protected.
The Brailey signing is a...
My thoughts looking at that:
Fullback depth looks ok with Averillo able to cover Bula if he goes down. Attard still a fair way off.
Would love another centre/winger who could squeeze into the position 18/19 on match day. Seasoned pro, hard and defensively solid.
Halves look ok. Could do with...
Ponga and Teddy are generational, but Edwards and Hammer were far from finished products after 70 odd first grade games which is what Bula has played.
The remaining teams also have better halves, better packs and better outside backs than us too, so there's that...
How about a feel good piece about the game this arvo? Some background on a player people might not know?
That would actually require some work. Much easier to flog the deadest of horses and get fed lines by people more important than you.
My god this article is so hard to follow. It reads like a 15 year submitting a half arsed English assignment.
Im sure there is a coherent point in there somewhere. Is he is being deliberately vague?
People who spend half their work days telling anyone who will listen how busy they are, white collar city people who drive utes and wear rms, dogs in cafes and pubs
Its not something specific to this forum, which is fairly moderate compared with your standard fan.
We agree re Makasini, but he is a good example of the issues with the fan base who go all in on these guys then chew them out in an instant. Kid had only ever played against school kids, should...
