Player Dramas - Saints

[Demps]

A bit of praise for Vaughan.

I think he's been pretty average throughout his career and has been decent this year and last somewhat.

Aging though.
Not an impressive candidate in my opinion.

I could see the sharks, knights or broncos Signing him thiugh.

We should look elsewhere.
Got an aging big prop already in Tamou.
Don't really need another.

Not even for 2 years @ 30 Years old? Still on the origin stage..

Prefer him than anyone else out there right now.. could easily land him for 400-500K.

Over rated, imo.
We could do better

Who would you have in mind? at the price of 400-500K that is currently available?

I think we're doing alright for props at the moment.

Tamou, Twal, Utoikamanu, Musgrove, Amone, Mikaele might be re signed ...
Joe O and Seyfarth can play there too.

Rather some FG ready centres and decent lock and 2RF.


We certainly seem to have enough Props in that list, but apart from Uto (still learning his trade) and Mikaele (only some of the time), the rest are just not looking like doing the job. Run metres are low, stamina is low, playing minutes for most is low, and as for hard hitting and breaking the line - even lower!
Compare our Props to the Props in the top 5 teams and IMO they do not rate. This is a big part of our inability to make yardage, gain momentum and get on the front foot, as well as to stop opposition packs rolling through us.

Can't roll out with 2 starting props and 2 or 3 benchies all the same skill set as James Fisher Harris.

Stef looks a beast.
Twal is a worker.

Tamou, a worker.

Mikaele, Musgrove, Amone... more impact Props.

Gotta have a balance in a way.

Sure we have worker props, yet we are so Porus in defense. Yes Twal works hard and Tamou too.

Demps, what are we doing wrong? Positioning?
I love Diane Laurie but I wonder if he has good sense of who is in position and who is out.
Mbye was good at reading the play, getting into the right position and Speedhumping the player as they dive over to score.

It would not surprise me if were the worst team in defense. Yep were not getting a better pack (ok Vaughan is going cheap now...)... so what do we do?

We need to build around

1 Laurie
6 Douihei

Ask those guys how we can play to their strengths.

Brooks may not be it.
Might be worth exploring other options.

Nice bro.
I used to love the cucumber and fresh yoghurt with tons of garlic and lemon.
Can't remember what it was called. Dipping fresh lebo bread in it.
Off topic, sorry
