Ryan's support play is not as good as Mullaney's, but fact of the matter is, he attacks the ball and brings it back straight and hard. This puts the Tigers on the front foot from tackle 1, this is vital at the start of any set. We haven't had this for the last 2 weeks and it has definitely hurt the team.

Mullaney may well be carving up in the 20's, but it's a big step up to FG and he doesn't bring the ball back in the same fashion as Ryan and is defence is not up to scratch. I'd run him in State Cup to see how he goes there before considering him for FG.
Willow, I agee that Mullaney isn't ready but I would like to see that past of Beau's game developed.
Perhaps Taumata should be given a shot. From all reports he runs the ball really well and probably has enough ball playing ability to setup outside men. That said I have no idea how taumata handles the high ball and how his one-on-one defence is.
Lote is probably in the frame as well
