loved the agro. The forwards in the game all showed some beast at one stage or another, no backwards step.
We sadly lack the agro. I've seen Ponga cop some high shots that warranted retaliation but not a Knights forward to be seen. Until we get some mongrel we'll be in the bottom half of the table and bullied every game.
Hit the nail on the head. Our only forward who shows any agro is Barnett but he can't do it on his own. We need a couple of guys who will fire up and scare people a bit. Sadly our forward pack doesn't intimidate anyone.
For this reason I think we need to have a good look at Shannon Boyd or Josh Papalii. They're both carrying some extra timber at the moment but if they're prepared to trim down during preseason and play bigger minutes they would fit the bill imo, that being said needs to be for the right price.
That being said I think Leeson Ah Mau is the right direction to take and I'm glad we're talking to him. Runs hard and tackles hard which is good to see.
Also for the record I rate Tim Glasby, I know he's not the big angry guy we're looking for but by all reports is super professional and gets his job done, went pretty well in Origin last year too so has the temperament to play in big games. He's probably a younger version of Heighington but I don't see that as a bad thing considering Heighno probably won't be there next year.
