OFFICIAL Apisai Koroisau #263

I like the enthusiasm and confidence of some on here but lets face it, we have lost our #1 and #7, that's half our spine, the #6 despite going a lot better than many would have predicted at the start of the season, but is unfortunately slower than a wet week.

Even if our current #6 was able to put on an outstanding kicking game, the fact of the matter is that we have a non existent kick chase to take advantage of it.

The one shining light is our #1 and as great a talent as he is, has only played a hand full of games in the top grade and has a long way to go before he reaches his full potential, and that is assuming he stays healthy and remains on the same upward trajectory that he is currently on.

I'm afraid that the only way to avoid another spoon, barring some miracle, is for St.George to keep losing and for us to beat them for a 2nd time this season and I think we would be very lucky for Api to be back in time to help us with that game towards the end of July.

I guess that gives us the opportunity to try a few new things and just maybe we make some great discoveries like Jahream has been.

Yep. We are only three wins and after this weekend could be back in the spoon position. A couple more losses and any moral that we had after the Cowboys win will be all but gone - and unfortunately we have to go up there to face them soon to make matters worse.
Looking at St Georges current roster next to ours(without Api and Brooks for an extended period) as spoon contenders our fate is looking pretty much back where we started at the beginning of the season

Come on TT, he’s a great player and he’s been good for us but I don’t think he’s the only player.
We still have our other star recruits plus these younger guys starting to stand up.
Sure, we have problems in a few key positions but I’m hopeful that everyone puts in a little more to make up for the absence.
Also, once again those that dislike Brooks can now gauge how strong we are without him and what current alternatives exist.
We may be down but we’re not out.

Yep... I gauge 3 wins and last on the ladder

Yeah it would be good if we had a junior who has that swagger/arrogance about him not afraid to direct older players. Maybe that is Tallyn & Kit. But most of our good young ones are a bit passive in the vocal/directional area. Hopefully Matai & Lawry are different.

Swagger is overrated!!

True talent is transcendant and an ethereal quality!
