Tbh think we really need a starting prop to partner Stefano and a left centre before anything else.

definitely. Mikaele isn't a starter. Tamou would've been mauled today as well. warming to the idea of Thompson.

Agreed. Think Mikaele could be very useful off the bench. Like the idea of Thompson - certainly would be our 2nd best prop.

I can see why Madge wants a top line prop - Stefano has a massive future and he needs a partner.

Today’s game really highlighted that we need some power forwards not effort forwards.

We are still short a starting backrower, lock and center though.

You dont spend 850k on your 2nd prop especially one who will spend lots of time watching the game
 
On the issue of prop, I would be OK with one more, but Twal at starting prop is better than average. The problem is lock as we can't keep having such an immobile middle.

I backed Twally early on but he can't cover 13.

Heard on 2GB that south's are finalising a deal for chee kam

I don't mind him as he can cover a few positions and would not ask big money.. We have like 7 spot free and cannot attract any players so him or Peachey would be a start.

100% agree.. As soon as Stefo goes off we fall apart every game. Imagine we had 2 quality props as that would take the pressure off him.
 
Peachy for 13 really could tighten things up.

He's been around a while.

Could be our Murray or Radley.

High energy player.

Good 14 utility too.

Drifts in and out of games for me.
I’m hoping we can pick up some players in the positions we are lacking that will scrap for everything and relentlessly pursue a win.

If your basing that off this game I thought Mikalee was excellent at prop our problem was he was replaced with a hybrid prop / backrower whom after 100 games should play with more intent but doesn’t. Since he got dropped from origin he has gone backwards at a rate of knots. Really needs to do some soul searching over the off season or he’ll be lining up next to Musgrove for Wests in the front row next year.
Side note; Re sign Amone!
 
Can we hurry up and look to extend Stefano already. I understand he’s off contract end of 2023 but surely we have to be in talks for an extension + pay rise. Star.

I'd give stimson a look for next year.

Sarcasm ?

He was great at storm and injury free atm.

Key word was. Would easily be one of the dogs worst edge players.

He was OK today, building from injury.

Agree and now is a great time as he would get a pay rise now instead of 2024 so that would be an incentive and also assist us in locking him up.

Good call. Our only leverage is that no one else can give him a pay rise next year.

Yeah needs to run straight more and lazy on defence

How come keen on amone did little today
 
Luke Thompson please and thanks. He can actually ball play a little too, our attack is predictable because none of our middles are good as link men to our halves
