Halves Depth.

Howdy folks, just reading Cooper johns is looking for a new job and also Wakeham. Do we need a back up 7 or are you guys comfortable with Asi as a backup to both halves ?. Imo one of those 2 named above on a dirt cheap deal as backup would be wise.

  • I wouldn't waste a Top 30 spot on either of them.

    • Yeah would just be for depth incase one or both halves are unavailable. Like this season with Matto at 5/8 isn't ideal lol. Maybe Johns can get a train and trial I'm not sure 

  • Asi is going ok and will only get better with more game time. Thought he and Dylan Brown worked well against the Panthers

    • I forgot Hands can play some 6 as well. Maybe we do have enough as is. 

  • Not really. Unfortunately there is a distinct shortage of quality halves in the game, that's why we lost Sanders. If you can get one young enough who looks pretty good they get snapped up. 

    • A lot of them do go to England just to play so probably could also look for a back up there. But not sure on our top 30 spots atm 

    • You're right Brett. The kicking game is so important that anyone who can do that and also play rugby league is worth plenty. There's just not many players who can kick a ball and also defend at NRL standard.

    • We lost Saunders because our reserve grade is stacked with talent lol

      • I don't think he's going to Canberra to play reserve grade. The Raiders offer would be $300k or more. He is only going to get better.

  • Asi is better then both of them. Just some defensive issues that he needs to fix up in the off-season
