I've seen Nelson play once and already can guarantee he offers more than Glenn Hall. Hall is the definition of a plodder. At least Nelson looks to have a good offload and a passing game.

Looking at our centres
Hoppa missed 66 tackles in 18 games
Morgan 26 in 12 games
Tonga 24 in 16 games
The best centres in the game are missing between 1-1.5 tackles per game.Kane liinet missed 16 in 22 games.Lawrence 25 in 20 games.

People want too praise Hoppa, but behind gagai he has missed most tackles per game than any other centre in the comp.

Hall is a definite plodder. I wouldn't like us to sign him.
On the other hand I do know his wife though, so if he could sign with another Sydney team I'd get to hang out with her again.

Isn't hoppa on sandows side ? That wouldn't help

Sandow has missed 111.Most in comp and missed first 4 games.
Normans 54 is quite ok for a half. Most halves seem to have missed about this mark.But offer more in attack.

So defense to improve we need two better defending centres next year. Im sure hoppa will improve but if he doesn't no need to re-sign.
And Sandow....Not sure -Its not like there are plenty of halfbacks to chose but missing 6 tackles a game compared to a good defending half missing 2 is a problem.

Sandow missing tackles aren't good, but compared to last year I don't think his missed tackles have lead to many tries. Maybe indicating Arthur is protecting him better

Ben Smith-Pauli Pauli-moi moi and lussick is missing 10% of there tackles-compare to gower mannah Edwards-seph under 5%.Terepo and Manu about 7%

Good news is Smith and Moi Moi will be gone. Sandow still cant defend-And morgan and hoppa are a little weak in there positions.

I've noticed this year that Sandow will often dive at the legs just to slow the defender down for the cover defence to get him.
I know this will be counted as a miss tackle but it has proven effective.

I don't think the 111 missed tackles he has next to his name would be basic fall off them tackles

That's fairly impressive given the Sharks season. I think it's Michael Lichaa and looks like a decent pick up for the Dogs.
