If we don't upgrade our forward strength for next year, then what we did this year will be the same as this year, I've got to the stage that if the Tigers are in front with 10min left by 20, I still think we will lose, like today 12 in front with 11min left and lose by 6,
When is this going to end.

Until we find more players who are willing to demonstrate good defensive line speed and hit hard, we are going to continue to continue to leak points too easily.
I can’t see it being an easy fix as most of our forwards are passive defenders, none of them hit hard very often.

I think its more because we are gassed. Most of our forwards play large minutes. Compared to most clubs who share say 4 props playing roughly 40 minutes each. Wea re overworking ours. We are easily 2-3 forwards short.

Without being negative, we had a good year injury wise (compared to every other side outside the 8). If we had a few injuries we would be really stretched, particularly forward wise.

Yep, a bad injury year in the pack would have been ugly.
 
I think we need to persist with Fonua Pole as he’s one of our better ball running middles, but geez today again demonstrated how passive he is when defending aggressive ball runners such as Taumalolo in the early exchanges.
Surely we are looking to come up with a plan to reduce the workload and increase the impact for both Terrell and Api.
