Teams like the Dragons have real speedsters but still don’t go the best.

AD scored a great long range try… surprisingly.Good point you make regarding the Panthers not really having anyone with electric speed during their premiership reign.
However they certainly had a lot more strike power in way of genuine x-factor than what we currently have and therefore I think the speed element becomes much more important for a team like ours.
The threat of being able to score regular long range tries is a big weapon and aside from Jahream’s try at Leichhardt I cannot think of any other long distance tries we scored last season.
I just think a 2-5 consisting of Turuva, May, To’a and Skelton is solid and tradesman like depending on whether or not To’a is 💯 fit and playing his best much more regularly, but aside from the aggression and class of Taylan May it doesn’t offer much x-factor at all.
To go to a higher level our team desperately needs more x-factor and game breaking ability which can hopefully be achieved by a combination of adding KPP along with natural improvement from all our team with more cohesion, but it would be nice to have one more outside back capable of burning the opposition with sheer speed.
Tavana doesn't get beaten in the air. He's a Timmy Cahill that flies above everyone else.Our 2 wings will be killed by the high ball. Has to be the smallest back 3 since 1979. They don’t even have elite speed either. Hopefully we have a few taller or faster backline prospects on the way or we better get recruiting
