Bye bye Ta'ai

[Rich102]

I don't see it as signs of cost cutting. Instead I see it as signs of clearing out the dead-wood to make room for Bluey's boys.

This I look forward to, though I hope the re-signing of JRo wasn't an indication of how this will progress.

TL I am yet to be convinced about.
Nielsen I think will be good.

For mine I would have liked to see a top-class No6 - something we haven't produced and I don't see in the juniors.. But I guess there are not many about and those that are are not off contract. (However the UK seems to produce some handy ones.)

The other thing I want to see is a mongrel forward - something we lack.

I don't see many Mongrels on the market or junior ranks...

There is Crocker off contract but he's more dickhead then mongrel

This, aside from the bashing.
Our outside back depth looks terrible, particularly when you consider a couple of our backs are rookies, one's apparently destined for the back row, and another is injury-prone Manu who 50% of people don't even think should be a winger!

It's not really bashing when it's just straight up fact and truth!

Not a big loss at all. Barely a top 20 player at the club

Forgot about Maloney and Luck, its worse than I thought. With Neilson we have cover for Inu and TL covers Maloney (at least in theory). We're managing without Luck and Ta'ai at the moment but that's assuming our main props and Taylor are fit. We do have Lousi for cover as well.

We've got nothing to cover the loss of Brown, so if we have cash lying around we should be chasing utilities or splash on a very good #6.

Good luck finding a good no. 6.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Yeah #6 is the biggest concern, and can't really blame management for letting Maloney go, he made no secret of wanting to move back to NSW.
