But this is the thing. Woods lateral, Williams lateral and Magoos lateral (as well as his front on) defence are as bad, if not worse.

Which is what I meant by the last part of my post.

Maybe Bomber’s playing the long game. Feef’s knee might not be up to a full season of NRL so run him in the Jets for match fitness and then use him at the back end of the season.

Who knows?

Do you protect a knee by playing big minutes at the Jets? I dont think so.

And there may not be a finals series to worry about if we don’t win enough games now.

Its a question of role for big Andrew. Presently, Magoo plays 10-15 minutes. Fifita could manage that load based on what we have seen.

Andrew doesn't have the lateral movement he once did but he is a key leader who gives confidence to others. Its a strange one given we down on quality middles.

He’s also failed to land a hand and dropped the pill on a first tackle hit up.
First game I thought was ok, second not good. I was one of the ones saying it was a good signing and still think so. I’m just worried Father Time is catching up to Tolman. He’s not a 20 minute impact player, he needs to shore up the middle defensively and make no mistakes. That’s it.

I haven’t really been a tolman fan, but if he’s going to play I think he’d be better starting and either woods or uele coming off the bench after 20 minutes to provide the impact. Tolman offers nothing from the bench and we lose so much when both woods and Uele are off.

If only there was someone like, say, Fifita available...

His knee is f**ked, can’t move laterally, struggles getting of the ground fast enough and has no spring in his movement.
He is as fit as anything and could play big minutes but means nothing if teams target him in defence. Happy for him to miss the opening rounds as I’m sure the others have out performance training drills that his knee can’t compete with in pre season. Wet weather and Tracey on the bench. But from what iv seen from Magoo & Williams I actually start him at 8 for the opening 15 with 4 forwards on the bench and use Uele of the bench for impact.
We may be able to cover his lateral movement in the opening 15 while everyone around him is fresh. Then use only if we need him.

The only journo who has the real goss on what goes on at the Sharks is Riccio, if it doesnt originate from him then its grain of salt time.
Chamas and Brent Read have never hit the spot with us once, Read in particular always has a gun pointed at us and never, ever hits a target.
