I want Latu to be there. However, I have zero confidence he stays fit for any length of time. That just leaves us with AD, Madden and Andrews. A guy out for himself, a guy who is a fringe first grader if you want to be generous, and a rookie who has played one game. Slim pickings.
Mate that’s most clubs . Sandon smith … premiership half ? That was almost 10 mins from happening .
Last year the best job he wa suffered was a bench role at the wooden spooners . That team , has spent most of the year playing 3 fullback/6 in their spine .
Everyone was laughing at giving brown anything close to 1 mil , let alone 1.4 for 10.
The warriors halves were Boyd … who went to the warriors from the titans (the titans) QLD cup side . To partner CHT who went on a Mormon mission for 18 months and before that was meh at best , and another 6 in metcalf who really spent most of his career in NSW cup other than having a player of the moment when the nrl 9s used to be on .
Thats the 2nd best side in the comp . Isaiah Yeo … came through grade as a centre/winger .
The premiership team had so much faith in their halves that they brought in a 37yo mercenary to get them over the line . That same gun half everyone talks about , has played 1 good rep game and every other game has shit the bed . And every big moment , he’s gone missing as well .
My prediction next year . They come back to the pack or … Hugo Savala makes the team his . Another guy who was career NSW cup . He’s what 25 now ?
My point bro - have a look around most of the “name halves are either about to retire or have” . Covid had created a massive gap which means most clubs by 2028 will be fielding a 35 plus yo in the halves or running with career reserve graders , or guns they’ve had to be patient with because they’ve matured later than recent memory.
