I don't think an organising 7 is an issue at all.

I think all we need is a good 7 and 6. I think Moltzen and Benji in the halves would work great.

I think we need more speed in the backline. Lawrence and Moltzen are the only real speedsters that we have apart from Benji. I'd like to see someone step up at fullback and Moltzen slot into the halves. Tuqiri getting back to form would be good.

Once I probably would have agreed with you Tiger05 but not sure now. I think we really do need an organising half.

We all know Benji is an enigma, however, when given an option all too often he takes the wrong one (I am talking about organising). I'd guess 50% of his options at these times are wrong. We need a half that will organise the plays (and kick the sh#t out of the ball on the 5th tackle), not unlike Prince did when he was playing with us.

What I love about Benji is also what I hate. He is a brilliant player, I don't think anyone ever questions that, however if you were asked whether you want a Lockyer (organiser) or Benji (freaskish) to get you through a whole season, I think Lockyer is who you'd pick. To pull out a play to win a game, yeah, Benji is the man but he can't be relied upon in all cases.

I think you see my point. Whether we buy or bring a half through the ranks I think we do need an organiser. I don't know if it is Miller, I don't think it is Moltzen and I don't know enough about Humble.

I want some one who, when the pressure is on will 90% of the time take the right option and on the fifth, when deep in our half, kick the friggin thing.

Marshall & Prince were the ideal combination. I wouldn't want Prince back now, but I reckon we'd have won another comp if he'd stayed.
