With all the reconstruction surgeries over the off season; it might be hard to get anyone to training. Should be fit for round one.

And the other sides don't have niggles, carry injuries? Haha. Only WT.

Correct! IMO both are too slow for edge 2nd rowers. More suited to the middle. But Roberts, maybe, could fill the lock position. Has an off load in him.

It would if we didn't have Sam Fainu and KPP on less money. Someone would be an expensive backup.

I get the impression that the inflated dollars some players get; dictates that stay in that position, not on form? For team improvements; Bula to wing. Andrews to 5/8, Luai dropped. Latu to half [if fit] OR if Latu unfit, Andrews to half and Doueihi to 5/8

IMO Bula would be a better winger than Tavana, Tupou and Turuva. But we need Averillo in the centres. Plenty of shopping to be done. Hopefully speed is a prerequisite.

No back up for Api or halves. Andrews, Latu the run on halves?

When Ryder Huth was signed, I had noted he was a 5/8 or fullback. Would like to see him have a go there also. Liked tour comment, "speed off the mark". Wish Bula had a bit of that.

Leg problem? Who would have thought?

No acceleration for a centre. Maybe a wing. Would maybe have time to get into stride before getting the ball?

I think he took the more money option? Maybe we did under rate him with our offer? That's what makes it hard to keep all talent. They often over rate themselves and eventually fall by the wayside. Same as the Large brothers. These players wanted to be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for...

Just for laughs, I think Shane Sultana fits the bill. Similarities the Warren Ryan. School teacher, knows players best position and combo's, Identifies talent, picks sides on form and coaches them. Done a great job the last couple of years IMO.

Our next half [Andrews] is about the same size as our current half [Doueihi]

Strong side for the Roosters game.

What position did Ryder Huth play----not in my team list. Glassie either but presume centre.

Don't forget a few of the forwards!

That's why he needs to be on the wing. Gets the ball at full pace. OR a backup fullback.

I hope his successor has been found already; And Benji is out at the end of this season. Time for new coach and assistants to start in November this year.

Furthermore, the whole Luai drama has clearly had a very destabilising impact on some players. You can't blame Benji for that? No, but we can blame him with persisting with Luai's dancing, which confuses everyone resulting in no set tries. And letting Doueihi dictate where he wants to play...
