We need an attacking strike weapon.
I never post on the forum these days, but i do constantly read and I need to vent.
After being at the ground yesterday, watching the match again on replaying, watching all of our games this year and really thinking about the situation overnight, i honestly think we have a very good team.
However I guess i'm stating the obvious, we need one big time attacking player, be it a gun half or fullback or something.
Ricky has the side committed and pumped up virtually every week, they all seem to put in 100%, they have pretty much the best defence in the comp, but it's not just that, they really hit hard. In my opinion they are so much a better team under Ricky than under Raper, proven by the for and against despite not being any higher on the ladder and remember it's pretty much the same cattle.
But obviously when we keep being beaten by 2 bloody points we clearly lack a killer punch.
Add a Thurston, Inglis, Bowen even a Slater to the side, just one of them, I honestly believe we'd go bloody close to winning the comp. Those four sets on our line in defence yesterday were fantastic, the work of a top team.
But obviously we can't put sides away.
To me we play with the intensity that the Roosters had when they won the comp and we making grand finals. The one difference they had the superstar player in Fittler and I can't see us signing or finding the superstar player who will make a difference anytime soon.
