We are in desperate need of a centre and a prop. It worries me to think last year we were close to filling up a roster to fight for a premiership only to take a few steps back losing Jenko and not filling up the Props gap as we have lost a fair bit of our props from last year. Don't get me wrong I think we have strengthened our 2 positions we lacked depth for last year in the hooker role and in the backrow but we have gone backwards in not keeping the depth in both the outside backs and front row and especially a centre who can be a constant starter to cover Jenko. I think we look more like a team that will at best finish 6th now and we can be as low as 12th. Last year we looked like a top 6 team definitely. I don't understand what the ones up there in-charge are thinking and waiting for when we know Jenko is definitely gone. We have let so many outside backs slip through the Rader and what are they thinking and waiting for. It's really worrying me as a passionate fan.

  • We have 2 representative props, a origin player at lock.

    We have Kaufasi coming along now for a few years, Hipggrave has signed the 2 young blokes that were added last year I don't think we will secure another prop definitely not a name prop.

    I think with centre depends on the jenko situation and then who is available opiacic will get 1st shot maybe fergo may move to centre with Dunster potentially taken the wing we have options but definitely the biggest issue is the centre spot.

    • Fergo played centres once and he was fucking terrible. Nah Dunster in the centres, he would be good. IMO anyway...

       

  • How is this not the same blog started by Chuck Norris yesterday?

    • Because one is by Chuck and the duplicate is from Adam.

      Some people have got to see their name up in lights for their 3 seconds of fame.

      Oncet upon a time Phil would simply merge the two and solve the problem, it appears Super is under staffed and that no longer happens.

       

      • Yer look you have to give blokes like Adam Hayne a fair go, geez it's a family site, my opinion he's hopeless but yer anyway.

      • shit yeah

    • yeah

  • Point of difference is a key. If The new guys add something we lacked last year and we get that improved performances from FERGO, SIVO and LANE we will go ok.  I like Hipgrave. He is a goer.  Very similar to Brown except a bit more restrained with ball in hand.  The six million dollar question remains whether we get the 2016 Cartwright or 2020 Cartright and whether MOSES is back or not.
