How the hell do we have salary cap pressures?
We have one state of origin player in Papali. Hodgson, Whitehead and Rapana can be described as regular international players with Tapine to join them. Paulo and Cotric might make rep sides in the future.
The rest of our 17 are first grade quality at best with many of those only going around every week because our debt is so shit.
Ricky is rooting us royally.
Wighton could be an origin quality center, sadly he looks like he'll never be a top shelf 1 though.
I've always though Austins best position is fullback, there all he needs to do is run. He played a couple of games there for wests and was generally good, including a length of the field try from a kick return.
If Canberra simply shifted a few and had:
1. Austin
2. Cotric
3. Crocker
4. Wighton
5. Rapana
6. Good new signing, even a guy like Cody Walker
7. Sezer
I think their side would be so much better balanced
