What forwards in particular ?
Terrell May has been very good, if not held his own all season. Fonua Pole has been inconsistent, but generally carries the ball very strongly at least in one stint which is generally his 2nd for some reason.
Sione Fainu has been very strong most of the season, particularly the past month or so.
Then you have Twal and Seyfarth who are not going to hurt anyone, but they bring a solid consistent work rate.
We are lacking a genuine power running forward which is what Royce Hunt was supposed to provide.
We lack a 1st receiver ball playing style of 13 which was supposed to be Jack Bird. Not sure if that not eventuating is a player problem or a coaching problem ?
It looks like we are now hoping Adam Doueihi might be this type of player.
With Samuela now out injured, who will be our attacking threat within our edge back row ?
We are hoping young Sukkar steps up sometime soon and we know Seyfarth will do his best, but he just doesn’t have enough speed off the mark to be a constant threat.
All in all we definitely need plenty of improvement within our forward pack, one dominant or power running middle to replace and do what we wanted Royce Hunt to do, another edge back rower in addition to KPP who has versatility to also cover the backs and possibly another 13 depending on how Doueihi goes and depending on what happens with Bird for 2026.
