After seeing what happened last night, only a miracle will save us from Wooden spoon. Let's forget about Hunt, he is yesterdays news (I am sure a deal being hammered out behind the doors with a club that wants him).
So let's concentrate on the shortcomings of the current squad:
1. Rava: He cant jump under high ball and that is why he is a target. With his size and power he will make a nice edge forward. If Ramset comes back, he or Sloan may share the wing spot.
2. Fegai: He can jump, but he seems to be a yard or 2 slower than last year. I think he is carrying some sort of injury.
3. Half or five eight: We should be in the market for a decent half or five eight to partner Sullivan.
4. Amone: He is not the same player that was last year. Not sure if it is the court case or attitude. He definitely is not a 14.
5. Bird: fitness seems to be an issue. He should now be our number 14 as he can cover both backs and forwards.
6. Front row (Molos, Musgrove): Between 3 of them they covered 86 minutes. It should be close to 120 minutes.
7. Mbye: I think letting him go should free a fair amount of contract money
8. Liddle: He did 44 tackles in 57 minutes of game time. Obviously the opposition is targeting him. I may be worth to bring him after 20 minutes.
SO our shortcomings are:
Fullback or wing, half or five eight, 2 front rows and number 14.
