Schneids? Makes his tackles, got 2 wins from 3 games against tough opposition while Cleary was out. He can be a fantastic 14, would offer abit at dummy half and/or halves. Like Cogs last year.
Family are keen for him to stay in OZ, hence why he hasn't taken any O/S rugby offers yet, so not out of the question if we had a bite.
Elite at second row. If he was back to his absolute best he would be the best second rower after Kikau and he's still been very good this year. More serviceable/reliable at prop like Martin but as a prop he's a bit better than Martin due to his larger size.
Nathan should be our 5/8, leave a guy like schnieder in at 7, someone to steer the players around, while Nathan does his thing, and chime in when HE wants the ball, just like in the finals last year, sure if nate wants the token no.7 on his back, like b.hunt then fine, but schnieder is an excellent defender, which is more important to have big strong halves, who can tackle, and not be a liability in defence, than anything or anyone else can offer
Huh? Then why did we struggle in the GF if yeo is our makeshift halback, so to speak?
That's right game management is a key component in a half, doesn't all have to be Nathan's job, you spread that out to a few players like schnieder, kicking into corners or 5th tackle options, and yeo handing/dropping off to middles and backrowers during hit ups... and nate becomes a running threat, as jerome is
Yeah he is off contract at the end of the year. We have all seen this many times before. Lift your game when your contract is due to expire.
It felt like we played the long game with a lot of drop off plays to try and move their middles around to tire them out.
