Have a look how we are scoring those tries and also when.
Its based on wearing sides down with brut power. Steam rolling them. This works against weaker sides. They just are not fit enough to go with you. Hits the 60th minute and you lay on 2 or 3 quick trys. Blow out.
But your smart and better sides match the power and then out skill you. It is also very hard to play this physical type of footy every week.
Come finals we can turn it up and go full power. If Moses and Mahoneys kicking games on they still can win the comp imo. But my worry is our forwards will burn out.
Teams have awaken to our set move to Papali'i also. We need more options.
Our defense on the Fergo/Blake side just constantly gets opened. Blake isn't great but Gergo also is at fault. IMO the guys a has been and completely done. I am open to trying Waqa on the wing and that's based in his Aerial threat along with the fact he has speed and power. He also has another 2yrs on a lot of money so it is in our best interest to get him firing and part of the 17.
I also like the unpredictability of W.Smith in the side. If its 14 that's fine but I would genuinely consider him starting. Very cheekie player. Defenses hate asking these types. D.Brown might be the answer at centre.
Now one guy I also would be open to is Milford. He needs a change and is still an extremely talented footballer. At the right price a mid season swap might be what both sides need.
It doesn't matter how or when you score, what matters is that you score.
As I said a coupla weeks ago, we aint a pretty side, we're a f**king tough side, lucky for us rugby league is a f**king tough game, so we'll win far more than we lose this year.
As for Milford, he's the last player we'd want for our structure, he's a f**king cat.
