Our left edge

[simonsatiger]

Looks bloody sharp.

Luia was giving space to TayMay and Skelton and didnt they deliver.

Great game from all three and isnt it nice to have some strike power!!

 

[426Tlgerland]

Yes left side was good then add Sam F and it’s very good .
KPP on right add to that side and we have Toa or Makasini coming in with Turuva out wide , nice
AD ball running lock with Twally giving AD. Break could be a master stroke , AD for first 25/30 then Twally ,Twally back on first 15/20 second half then AD back fresh to finish off

It was good to have a centre capable of setting up a winger, or able to do it himself. With May inside him I’m tipping Skelton to be our lead g try scorer come year end.
The other side still a rabble with Toa not getting as much ball to work with Staines.
Our right side weak partly because our no 7 not motivated yesterday.

T'oa playing fullback in attack when down in their 20 doesn't help cohesion

Toa only having 1 useful arm isnt helping but I'll give him credit he is turning up each week when clearly injured

 

[Lukic]

To'a was our second best player for the first half of the season and as much as the forum likes to hate on him, Galvin did a good job at getting him and Bula early ball so they could take advantage of the space.

Yesterday our left edge's story was more about May's brilliance than anything else. Didn't matter how or when he got the ball, he'd beat his man one on one and there's a number of times we could gone close to scoring if Skelton or Luai had been in position for an offload.

Turning up is not what’s required, if yea injured then he should be out.

 

[TCL]

It was good yesterday, Luai actually got the opportunity to run with the outside backs creating space.

Our defence in all positions still needs plenty of improvement.

When they are all fit, healthy and playing close to their best it looks quite good, but I still don’t think it looks genuine top 8, possibly top 4 good.
The reason I say that is they still look a touch slow and not enough capability to make line breaks or score long range tries that can hurt the very best of defences.

we dont have the squad period, we don't have the forwards or depth to make a run for the top 8, Everyone thinks KPP will be the magic bullet to making the 8. We won't make the 8 until we buy more forwards and more depth.

We need another Prop who is a workhorse and hits hard

fair chance Makasini takes Skelton's spot on the left sting.

I haven't heard literally a single person make that assertion.

Some people had some hype around Jack Hetherington. Don’t watch him much but would he fit the bill

Jack Hetherington is not a workhorse type of player, but he’s a big gangly build who is very mobile for a big man and he plays with plenty of aggression.
I don’t think adding another workhorse type of player would help us as we already have the best of this kind in Terrell May and ably supported by Alex Twal and Alex Seyfarth.
We need impact, x-factor and speed.
I’d be looking at Simi Sasagi to challenge for an edge back row starting spot, if not be great utility and impact value off the bench and Jake Sverillo to add sone genuine speed and class to our outside backs.
Both are currently contracted until 2927, but if we signed these types of players come November 1, there would have to be some chance their clubs would consider releasing them early for 2026.
