As for recruitment, yes I think the club are realising they need to think outside the box now.. Flanno is going to have to fight and scrap to extract anyone half decent for next season.
As for Amone, I've been one of his critics for 2yrs.. as I thought he needed to be in reserve grade to learn how to be a 5/8 against real defensive lines... and assumed Sullivan would take his spot soon enough.. but Amone never seemed to get injured.. unheard of for a young playmaker... and Bud.. well he was injured everytime the opportunity came.. but anyway im not particularly attached to Amone, i'm open to whatever, and I also think Amone might end up a ctr anyway.. however .. I dont think hes nearly as bad as he appears in games like last weekend.. he gets the ball in sh*t situations, thanks to Hunt.. and with no support players running lines to actually force a decision from the defender.. hes literally a running duck who gets smashed by multiple defenders.. a duck playing on the wrong side of the field also.. i.e. playing without his best weapon.
I think with a halfback playing left side and a coach who has a clue, Amone's footwork should generate plenty of point scoring opportunities.. but our halfback doesnt play left.. and Amone isnt a future immortal either.. but he is tough, rarely gets injured, probably could play centre(or lock one day), whatever the coach wants to do.. or more to the point is forced to do through lack of options so close to 2024.. im alright with.. im not that attached to anyone anymore.. thats how awful our roster is.. combined with the hook, mary and price extensions.. the 19 losses in a year.. im numb to really everyone in our roster.. perhaps other than S'ua & Lomax.
