Radradra is no genius in defence. Wingers are for scoring tries, we need Koro in this team.

THIS ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑

FMD! No lets stick with the Lawrence factor and hope he is within falling distance when he gets the ball , thats if he f**king holds it.

Koro to me has to be out there. Surely he is our best winger when it comes to scoring tries. Someone should make way for him.

Geez... What a disaster.

Souffs must be crap. They should be winning this by 40.

I agree, Souths played terrible and won convincingly. Maybe if they had the calibre of players missing like Inglis, Walker, Teo, McQueen, Goodwin and Keary playing than it may have been 50 or more scored.

One thing this loss to Souths did highlight to me is the dirty work Farah and Fulton do for this team. You often don't notice it because it is work that has to be done and those two just tidy up the ruck area so much.

If we do lose Fulton to these concussion problems we need someone who will take on his defensive workload. I know I am always going on about our attack but we need someone like old 'Pig Dog Maguire' who can do the dirty work as well.

What really frightens me though is Farah. We really don't have a suitable replacement for him at the moment (don't know about where Cherrington is at). Last year I was a bit critical of Farah's attack towards the end of the year. Well no wonder, he is burnt out from the defence he is forced to do throughout the year.

If we had forwards that could be relied upon to share the load in defence Farah could concentrate on his attack, not unlike Luke can do for Souths or Smith can from the Storm.

The position we are on the ladder is not a true indication of where this team is at. We have a monster run home and we need to lift big time.

We shouldn't have let Politoni go. He's better than Luani and faster.

Can also play halfback, which would be a good thing to have to cover for Brooks if he isn't playing.

The team we have now is good but not great. I didn't expect a top 8 finish this year but I certainly did next and the year after. The problem as I see it with this young team is when they really should be at their peak they won't have Farah.

They talk about the Eels not winning with Hayne, we are like a rudderless ship without Farah. For this team to move forward more planning has to go into positioning, retention and buying of players in key roles....

Now there's a name I had forgotten MU, I wonder if we could get Politoni back.
I see he's still running around in NSW Cup at the Sharkies but where is he in the pecking order at Cronulla? If they sign Ennis. it still leaves him NSW Cup next year.

Maybe get him cheap? Much prefer him than Luani.

He's off contract and AFAIK hasn't been offered anything yet. There's time to get him before the June 30 window closes even.

coaches there don't seem to rate him, they've played Morris, De Gois, Lichaa and now Brown (albeit he's a halfback more than hooker), so I'd assume he's not going to get a gig there anytime soon.

With that Penani kid coming through in the halves as well, I don't think it'd be too much to assume that even Robson would be also in front of Politoni for the hooker gig.

Politoni was not a great defender, but his speed and service was always pretty good when he was here. I've only seen him play a few games since he left on Fox and he doesn't appear to have regressed.

Not wrong there MU .. we may have got him back but now the Storm have grabbed De Gois the the Sharks would be unlikely to let him go now.

I reckon if the Sharks go with Brown and Penani in the top squad next year, Robson will move to hooker.

We should definitely try and get him back, or do a swap for Luani.

We need a capable halfback and hooker backup player. They need a specialist hooker.
