Our front rowers are making metres, but offer next to nothing in the way of offloads. We have too many of the same type of player, the type of player who isn't exactly suited to the new rulesYou're not wrong but it's annoying that he's a player we've targeted.
Regardless of how you feel our front rowers have performed this year, it's probably one of the last positions we should be seeking to upgrade moving into 2020.
He's slow laterally and struggles to make the defencive line. He's a liability and our middle has been soft enough during times this yearHow you feel about him as a human aside, Lodge can get through a lot of work while also having an offload, short passing game and consistently quick play the ball. That’s a good player for $400k
I don't think it's not that they're capable of offloading though? I'm pretty sure Klemmer was top 5 offloaders a season or two ago. Could be a coaching thing?Our front rowers are making metres, but offer next to nothing in the way of offloads.

Morality aside, Hitler was a stand up guy.Morality aside Lodge was enormous against the Roosters and is he repeats that here with Klem weekly and the Safs rotating as well, then who knows what will become of this year once KP, Clifford and Pearce are playing behind that.

Barnett at 13 has been an absolute godsend... Please do not move him.
So is it in writing somewhere from Toohey or someone else that we are letting Watson go? Or is this all speculation because we’re probably keeping Mann?
Mann has been offered a contract and Watson will be too.
Seems we want a team of slow props and middling utilities.
