I don't know, he just seems to score a sh*tload of tries from out on the flanks, he looks like he enjoys running down the sidelines and out-running the opposition winger

Ouch. Is that kind of like going to the tarot card reader and they turn over the unlucky card? (For some reason I have visions of Suity and a crystal ball linside a tent... ;-))Suitman said:I see a Delaney-esque future for him.

Eric has been great, but he has not been scoring tries. One reason is that he generally touches the ball early in the tackle count or early in the play; he tends to make breaks rather than finish them.
If he could learn to combine with Tahu a little better he may start building his tally; he often comes in when Tahu is clearly expecting him to stay out; he often gets caught alongside or in front of Tahu in half-break situations.
Hayne on the other wing has great instincts and will offer a lot on the wing short term while he adjusts to the speed of the game and the size and strength of his opponents.
Amos clearly caught him out on Sunday; he left him for dead and it was a good effort to come back with the ankle tap. A stint on the wing will not hurt ...
Suitman said:Agree with your current scenario of the happenings.
Our current problem is though is the centres and wingers aren't getting much ball in space.
When was the last time you remember Eric getting the ball in space? I mean good space. Honestly, stick Eric in the open and he will score a try 7-8 times out of 10.
No, I can't remember neither.
Suity

Until our forwards start laying a decent platform and dominating teams, enough so our backs get some space, we won't see either winger doing the sorts of things we expect to see wingers do.

jayman said:iam a big fan of mad dog... stick him on the opposite side of tahu and eric...
a smith/macdougall combo.. and iam telling you.. we would be unstoppable on either side...hayne at full back... and that backline would destroy opposition..
at a good price.. now that hes out of favour and getting on.. i dont think he would cost alot.. and u could get a awesome couple of years out of him.. before stickin in our young stars...
i think in this day and age.. backs have to be big ..similar to how NSW play..tahu eric gaz and king are all big solid guys.. u throw in lyon and macdougall and thats prolly the strongest backline in the comp...
eelavation said:you know what? you're speaking my language..except I'd also add his younger brother in the mix. but we definitely need the forwards to compliment such a backline.
jayman said:great minds think alike...yeah his brother could be one of them mid range signings you were talking about...
cannings contract alone would cover mad dogs figure (reportedly 250gs..) but i doubt he would command that now...unless ESL
