There are numerous reason why we are not performing & yes it includes our middle forwards. But there are other variables that need to be taken into consideration.
We are missing & require a winger like
Radradra - Someone who starts off our sets on the front foot coming out of our own end. If you think Gutho will be the answer im sorry but things will get worst. That will mean our back 3 will offer nothing coming out of our own end, Gutho, French, Hoffman
We require another top class centre with speed & skill. like a Waqa Blake. Latrell Mitchell
We are missing a half back cause unfortunately Corey Norman isnt cutting the mustard. Someone who runs, plays square & direct, Someone like Ben hunt or James maloney
We also require a hooker with creativity in attack but can also defend, some like Wayde Egan
We require back rowers who are strong defensively but offer alot in attack. Back rowers need good hands but are known for running great lines, Our team was shown how poor we really are & what we are lacking when Tony williams came on & showed what can happen when a back rower can run hard & run lines & create 2nd phase play. We need backrowers like Viliame Kikau or Felise Kaufusi
We have too many middles who are very similar players, Lacking speed, explosiveness, Grunt & size.
Mannah, Brown, Alvaro, Evans, Teripo,Scott all need to go. Id love to see players like young gun Payne Hass, Leeson Au Mau, Regan campbell Gillard, Paulo, Tevita Pangai junior, sam burgess, at least all these players offer something different & are not similar.
Its easy for me to write this wish list of players that could offer more than we currently have, but for me the past weeks have been dissapointing cause it seems the players dont give a shit. Nsw cup are getting flogged each week so who in Nsw cup are putting there hand up asking to be selected.? Currently the Nrl players are not under any pressure to retain their spots.? The lack of respect the players are showing each other, The club, The coaching staff & the fans is the most dissapointing aspect of all.
Its the little things we are not doing.
Our line speed is terrible
Running one out instead of in pairs.
Our discipline is disgraceful
Our structure is disjointed
Our creativity in attack through our halves & hooker is non existant.
I think things will get worst before things get better, Really how much worst can it get. We are 0-4 & bottom of the table
One question though. Is BA the man to continue leading this club.
I know what he has done over the past few years & deserves every opportunity to turn things around. You dont become a bad coach over night.
But on the other hand BA has has plenty of years to put together the team he wants is this his fault.?
Should we be giving unknowns an opportunity.? Younger players.?
The only problem i see there is are they ready.? You dont want to throw the young ones to the wolves early & kill there confidence
