What I said was we need decent outside backs much more urgently than we do forwards.
That has not changed at all, but if we want an all round balanced team that can score points and overcome a couple of injuries, we also need a couple of forwards.
Do you not agree that we are very limited with our attacking and line break threat within our forwards ?
We are no doubt a much better team when Samuela Fainu and KPP are both playing, but even they do not have what you would call explosive speed that is a major concern for our opponents.
A lot of criticism is being directed towards our halves poor decision making, particularly on our 5th tackle yesterday and while I agree it’s a otand needs tj be much better, what were Api and Bula doing to contribute ? They take up a fair bit of our salary cap between them and form part of our spine, but are then voided of any blame when things go sour ?
I think both Sione Fainu and Tony Sukkar were among our better players yesterday and they were certainly not a reason we lost, but having a very slow forward pack in addition to an extremely slow backline is just so boring and predictable, I doubt Nathan Cleary or Sam Walker could do anything with them from an attacking point of view.
We have resorted tj being a team who’s only real attacking play is the high ball.
