But that the problem - one one hand, you identify that obviously scoring points is a problem, on the other you are all keen and eager to keep all three of Brown, Docker and Taylor. I don't get that.
In fairness to Brown, he's capable of making line breaks and line break assists when he's on song (he's not at the moment and I'm not opposed to hooking him if need be).
Taylor looks like he's bulked up and a little slower than his time at the warriors, but he is quite dynamic in attack. He'd stay in my side.
Docker is probably the least likely to create points of the three but he's been invaluable in defence.
I guess I feel like these aren't the guys to go after. We need offloads too, but I'm not going to suggest throwing Cartwright to the wolves just yet.
There isn't one be-all-and-end-all solution either.
Whare, Moylan, Soward, Segeyaro, Peachy, and even Taylor (despite his time at hooker in NZ) are all pretty handy. Brown's pretty good putting guys into holes when he's moving. Manu and Idris are both capable of being pretty troubling close to the line, but you don't win football games based on potential and they need to step up and start asking questions.
But we lack speed (as every man and his dog have pointed out, we're slow as f**k) out wide, and there's nobody to get the ball to, to get us over the line. Having a high kicking game isn't overly helpful when your jumpers are a relatively-easily-rattled DWZ, Idris and Mansour either.
Some of our problems are still teething issues with a squad that hasn't really had much time together to gel too. I've no doubt short passes putting rampaging forwards into holes will be second nature soon enough, and our passing game will improve to the point that even Nathan Merritt could score playing on the wing.
