For 3 seasons now we have not had an established halfback. An experienced player with a good kicking game that can play smart football. People are calling for Props and forwards, however I think generally our pack holds its own.It is decision making under pressure and ability to grind out games which has murdered every one of the last 3 seasons. When all our forwards are fit they hold their own against most teams in the NRL. On the back of a unreliable kicking game and high risk, turnover football I reckon they are made to look a lot worse. Same for our defense, it is constantly put under pressure by errors and poor kicks.
Farah and Marshall are both brilliant players. And with support cast like Ellis, Galloway, Lawrence, Tuiaki, Heightington it is a side with plenty of talent. So why do we come up short every season? You saw it tonight. Having to go to our hooker and our free wheeling genius when it gets to the nitty gritty. They are both flashy fantastic players but neither were born as an organising halfback, the most important position on the field!With a wise old had like Kimmorley and i reckon we are automatic top 4. Guys like Cronk, Prince and co made a huge difference to those teams, our packs are no worse then Melbourne and Gold Coast yet they are well entrenched in the finals and we are no where again.,
Is there anyone out there. Because im not prepared to sit here for another season hoping Lui or Moltzen can fill the void. I want a halfback who has won games for his side in first grade. We need to lessen the load on our number 6 and 9 and try and bring in a leader. We have cut alot of dead wood and surely a play for a player like Michael Monoghan would be worth it. Is there anyone else available? What about Michael Witt, a 90% goalkicker with a decent kicking game. Somebody? Tim Smith, worth a punt i say, has proved he can win games in first grade. I reckon with a organsing half our forwardsare not a big issues, case in front 2005, where we had average players like Oneill, Fulton, Haltau and Gibbs and it didn't matter.
3 seasons without a halfback. The days of Johhhny or a stop gap measure must surely end.I wonder what the great Sheens has in his mind for next season.
