Where is our team at at the moment?

Remember back in 2004 (one season before we won the premiership), we beat the Warriors 50-4 & then had back-to-back losses of 50-0, then about a month later we flogged Souths 56-6.

We are going to be on a rollercoaster for a while until the combinations set, our young ones gain experience & our we don't lose key players to injury.

I feel you are being very generous to state we are on a "rollercoaster" because if we are then the high spots are only a metre high and they only seem to happen once every kilometer.This is completely unacceptable with the squad we had at the start of the year.

Busted. It is going to be a long couple of months.

Despite all the talk of juniors, we don’t have them in the positions that we need the most

Correct, will be a long few months indeed, just hope that the playing group can stick together and not throw the towel in like we have done in the past.

It's another dud season. I thought we'd get a fair few more wins than last season but losing Brooks and Api is huge.

I disagree on not having juniors in the positions we need. Bula, Pola,Tupou and even To'a are all development or junior players performing extremely well in positions that are critical for us.

We need some halves coming through but the club may be after players like Sanders and Fainu plus there are some juniors in the halves coming through as well. I think their names are Conti and Lange. The question is will these guys be good enough and when will they come through.

I think we are on the way up but I'm an optimist and it's not happening this year.
