Here is their backline:
1 Clint Gutherson
2 Maika Sivo
3 Waqa Blake
4 Will Penisini
5 Sean Russell
6 Dylan Brown
7 Mitchell Moses

I am trying for the life of me to work out who Parra would want to put in there. Sean Russell seems to be a talent but not ready for Full time first grade.

Our backline is way to spartan to trade people at the moment. OK trade good players.

Wow what a backline makes me remember why would he want to come here.

Well if the knights are killing it (and Hastings is playing well) and we suck, I can guarantee you that every commentator , newspaper and TV show will be saying that we made the wrong choice.

And they’d be right.

Another big hypothetical "IF"....

Jackson has gone to another basket-case club and is likely to have a similar win-loss ratio as 2022

If anyone really thinks Ponga has the mental or physical toughness to kill it as a 6 - think again!

The last few years the amount of passes Brooks has been called forward or let go by the ref has been astronomical. The backline and 2nd rowers we have don't help but for some reason every time he does a.short pass it on the line. Not sure why he does it.

Liddle was bad for it out of dummy half as well.

Quite possibly. But as far as if the decision was a success or not, the proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is our performance, not the knights.

Alfie Langer perfected the unseeable forward pass-- well everyone but the ref could see it !

You’re being sarcastic right? Brooks running at training is not that impressive. He’s supposed to be running along with the rest of the team. I understand he was injured and probably couldn’t run at 100% but given he’s training he’s supposed to run. As for the second part, don’t think Benji is coming back as a player those days are done. We need another 7 not another 6 we’ve got enough depth there nothing for 7.

Yes we need a 7, totally agreed.

That said, if someone is "Hobbling" or not running right then we are just destroying that player.
Yes we have treated brooks well, just tired of reserve grade players getting serious permanent injuries when they should be resting.
 
Just watched the media release from fox about our first training session sheens said he’s very impressed with a young fullback who’s putting pressure on Staines and Laurie who would that be?

Also mentions he’s very impressed with young forwards and they will be getting first shot in the trials.

Api also mentions he’s working closely with the halfs brooks and doughi
 
I don’t see the real need for a specialist back up half when we already have the cattle. Our halves are no world beaters from the get go I’d imagine if brooks went down we would go
1. Staines
6 daine
7 AD

same thing if Ad goes down. I really don’t see those positions getting weaker then what they are uninjured
