There has certainly been numerous times over the last 5 or 6 seasons when I so wished I wasn’t a fan of the deplorable rabble.If giving an unfavourable opinion of players who have proven to be atrocious is ur definition of not being a fan then there would be very few fans.I actually believe we will go well this yr & we will find a way to cover for our deficiency in the centres especially as we are looking quite strong everywhere else.
I’m in the same boat.
We will be playing to our strengths and I think our centres won’t need to be influential game breakers in their own right, but they will need to tight, precise and manage their defence properly.
AD and our rising star, Faatape, will be putting a lot of pressure on that backline and they both offer different skill sets.
If Faatape, despite his “senior moments” keeps moving forward, he will be a huge asset by the end of the year. He’s 110% effort, big enough to stop anyone, has the young legs and likes being mobile. So good platform.
I’m happy to flog our players, but it comes from a good place. Professionally and personally. Our ugly lot, a term of endearment, but as a member, yeah I have expectations.
No sniggering in the grandstand is one.
And hopefully Heath has worked on his fitness and Nado his discipline!
