What do we need?

All we need is a goal kicker who kicks at 80% plus consistently - I don't care what position he plays. Had the score tonight got to 26 - 24 with a couple of reasonably easy kicks at NRL standard we would have gone on and won that game. Top teams win games by converting tries - we don't.

We also need a goal kicker who can tackle , has speed , can break the line ….........

We have that already in spades - we need a quality kicker who holds his own in NRL - that's all Pat Richards did.
 
we need 2 backrowers with size, a good fast centre and goalkicking winger. thats just 4 players to make us a good side, and theres plenty of good cheap players out there, just have a look at the sunday paper yesterday , for whos of contract.
 
**For a start, get more mongrel in the team, wests -tigers are not angry / aggro/ cranky enough on field.** No one is scared of them, more like :laughing: at them.
Most opponents probably think, " what are the kids gonna do today, certainly not fight"

No dumb stupid, attempted hand grab tackles.

Stop opponents from offloading in the tackles.
 
Winger? not so sure. Move Kevin N to the wing and bring in a good center. Croker would be the pick but not available, so someone like him. Anyone?

Someone like Cartright from Penrith. Dream on.

Felise is a must to keep. Sue has gone backwards.

Rowdy looked a bit small yesterday, but with the drop in replacements next year, he could be ok.

If Farah is fit, ( which he was not yesterday ) he should play until Liddle gets his chance.

Taylor is our best and most creative forward (except for Woods) and MUST be retained.

Rankin to the bench as he can cover a number of positions and is a reasonable player in all.

If the team can play both halves of football like they played the second half yesterday, they will be very hard to stop from the winning the whole shebang.
 
What's everyone's opinion on Junior Roqica.

I really like him, he can play 80 mins, a big strong bloke he brings a lot of momentum into a pack, always looks to offload and does the dirty work like ET

Playing for NSW cup at sharks for Newtown atm and has played a few nrl games.

Height:195
Weight:105

Thoughts?

We need another…. We need thread...

Brenko Lee is a solid player Geo, good option. A damaging backrower would be good but I'd like to persist with Aloiai, I think he will be very good in a couple of years. Really hoping Paseka develops well in the NYC, he's got the size to be an enforcer provided he continues to improve his game, fitness and strength.
 
a coach that is old enough to pass on experience - a coach who can handle the ammunition he has at his disposal. A coach that does not goes missing for half a game. The 2nd half only proved that Melbourne have a mental edge over us - not a physical one. I don't know about you - but if that be the case - then we still have a chance in this comp. And secondly a coach who has lived through a winning streak, moreover a winning streak of more then 2 games on a consistent basis - that would really be appreciated.
 
A new gym, strength and conditioning unit and attitude. We get bullied out of far to many games
 
Another winger, a centre…..........someone who can kick goals at a fair percentage.

Someone to teach the guys that it's an 80 minute game, not 40..........the amount of games we probably could have won this year if the players played the full 80......

Bring back one of the old juniors was not great when he was here but give it a go
 
For 2017 we need:
a winger
a centre
a second rower

and one of the above needs to be a goal kicker; preferably the centre or winger as they will play 80 mins.

Totally agree.

We need a speedy winger who can score tries

Need a quality centre who can break the line and defend well. Goal kicker will also be good. (I wonder if Marion Seve was ear marked in the pass to fill this role?)

Second Rower who runs excellent lines and gives opposition centres night mares. (I wish we kept Bodene Thompson as he was developing well for us).

Unless Farah moves on next year and frees up money this is only a pipe dream.

For those who watch the lower grades is Chance Peni any chance of stepping up next year.?
