agree on all those. you could make a case for right centre but I do think Large and Makasini will be pressing their claims for first grade pretty soon, plus Luke Laulili'i looks to be developing pretty well as a centre from week to week in SG. I'm really curious as to what our recruitment looks like for next year given that there are a few players in the pathways that should break through in the next year or two, but we probably need first grade ready talent now.I know. Must be too much common sense for previous coaching regimes & recruitment bosses.
Well let's have a crack ourselves!
Disclaimer being that I think the club will see what players can ultimately be developed from within to fill these necessities.
#1 WING: Big body, tall, reasonably fast, good in the air, get us on the front foot early in sets, a finishing threat by hand or foot.
- Lobb, Alaimalo, Willett are our hopes from within.
#2 LOCK: Strong defensively, very good line speed in defence, strong ball carrier, ability to pass as a link man.
- Seyfarth, Matamua, Faagutu, Laulilii are our internal hopes.
#3 PROP: Powerful runner, good leg speed & drive, impact, aggression, solid defensively.
- Tofaeono could develop, not sure of others
#4 BACK ROW DEPTH: Very good edge defence, solid ball runner, ability to play centre if used as a utility.
- Tumeth, Sukkar, Vaihu (I've written off Kepaoa sorry)
Anything else?
