I no for sure we need an upgrade on the right wing and an upgrade at left centre at bare minimum.I looked at Chester and Perdue last night and they put the shits up our guys everytime they touched the ball.All of our centres struggle because of lack of lateral agility there all straight line players and not overly athletic.
Thats the key we need to find more Speed agility and Physicality across the park.It was a good game from our guys last night they fought to the end but if your looking at it from a long term proposition our roster is very limited as currently constructed.
I agree wholeheartedly with this . I actually feel we are a pretty well coached football side. Most of the rubbish stems from guys losing athletically or making bad decisions. The system itself isn't the issue. Our recruitment and retention team needs to make sure we recruit and retain guys who can meet the demands of the modern game and guys like Will and Guymer are not it . We've already re-signed Guymer . Who knows what's going on with Will . Samrani has a bit of height and skill about him - not the speed and acceleration to play centre long term but for the meantime he's a lot better than what we have . Nanva is a bit the same . Find a couple of decent centres and convert Jordan to an edge back rower who can fill in at centre if something happens in game and we're getting somewhere .

The games a track meet now teams like the Cows Manly Dolphins and alike are just deadly you give there outside backs any space and it's over red rover.
Everyone is pretty much running the same type of attacking structure so we have to have athletes that actually equal or surpass what we are up against.
I mean I look at Kola from Manly that guy centre fullback wing if needs be he's so explosive and fast and this equates to his speed to power vs size as nie on the blueprint for an athlete your looking for in your back 5 danger whenever there on the ball.
Samrani is the most improved player in our club. Before his injury he was going well. I just love how he is an all in team player. Nothing selfish, thinks of the best person in the best position gets the ball ( Eg Papali ). His carries are strong and he is aware of players around his pre tackle as opposed to pushing balls in heavy contact becuase you havent thought about who was supporting you.
YES, definatel;y retain him. But I think JR will revert to Will.
This is the worry the fact that we have to use Samrani hose doing a job but revert back to Penisini says a lot about our lack of development in that area.Back 5 Parra have been terrible bringing s juniors through the last decade.
"Just reflected on Josh Shuster, perfect build for a 5/8....I will leave that to Jason Ryles to judge, that judgement being the man not the player. We could get and have him before the 30th June....???
Intersting article in todays paper, Wayne…"
"Neither are NRL standard, especially Guymer.
If our forwards train as hard as Jack Williams in the gym sessions, we'd have a decent pack. Clearly a lot of them are cutting corners when it comes to strength and conditioning."

Chester has been burning everyone he had been up against this year. Has speed to burn.
Russell was marking Chester?
Surely a priority re-signing ! Id leave him at centre for the remainder of this year at least!
Richie Pensini ruled out of nsw cup again. Petrus starting. Talagi and Miller on the bench

a lot of the laterall movement issues is because the plant their heels instead of staying on their toes
