We really need either Moses or brooks to stand up and own this team. Our forwards have stood up this year so far but out execuction has been sadly missing. It starts on Friday night against the dogs where we will need better options on last plays, general kicking, talk and direction around the park. Cause at the end of the day its the play makers that win you the game.
Maybe our halves will be given time or maybe they won't. Myself thinking another 2-3 more rounds to rectify or changes need to be made…..thoughts???
valid points but 2-3 more rounds is way too short sighted in my eyes (see what i did there? sighted…eyes?!).
it is pretty evident the club is well and truly committed to investing in brooks and moses as the long term halves pairing as they believe they have the right attributes to build a successful team around.
in my mind, whilst it is prudent to allocate generous time and understanding for this, if too long goes by and they're not "meeting their kpi's" in developing youd have to cut your losses at some stage.
very early days to be thinking about this yet though. if you think about it, if your employer was grooming you for a management role you would want clear outcome expectations and a very decent chance....
personally i would want to make a judgement on this with about 5-6 games of the season left (if they were out of finals contention) to give another player a little grounding and as a type of audition for next year.
JT played off the bench for the dogs at this age for around 3 years (winning a premiership in his 3rd year)
...and even then thurston was an injury replacement, even giving his premiership ring to steven price. *
*i hate that the players get rings. so american! whats wrong with the good old medals?!! :rant
