It was clear toeven Stevie wander we lacked forward lastnight, and with Ryles clering the decks & with the possability of JR retiringat the end of 25 or 26
WE need Forward
we need to be aggresive big forwards
who do we get ? who do we target ?
I dont think Guymer is a 2nd rower (Im not even sure he is a footballer)
Im starting to realy like Kautoga and with more football in him the better he will get
Williams i dont think is a starter
Re-sign Walker for 2 more years past his current deal

Yep, that's a recipe for disaster. With no brown next year we're a high chance of spoonville. Cant see Mitch waiting out his prime to see if we come good. We need to turn it around fast or we'll be stuck in the doldrums for a few years.
You can't just buy a Premiership. Even if we used the spare money we have now saved, we would still have a team filled with new players, who will take some time to gel. That's the fact we need to accept. Forget about the past and how long it's been since the last Premiership, that's now irrelevant. At the moment we have no choice but to look to what the future can bring. As a fan, I'm hoping we nurture and buy in talent wisely, which will give us the best opportunity to fast track the process as much as possible.
Agree 👍
I think we need to talk about Moretti. He runs the hardest out of everyone in the team. He bends the line and is having a break out season. He has found offloads to his game and generates ruck speed for us. Yet his minutes this season have been 16, 42, 32, 21 and 26. Surely JR wants to get more minutes out of him.
I totally agree with this. When he came off our go forward went backwards. He couldn't come back on because Simmo came off.
He picks up the tempo of our game. When he goes off everything slows down.
Onething I will say about Moretti is would he have the same impact against starting fowards I don't know.
But a big reason he's making this impact is because a lot of starch has gone out of the game so his energy and enthusiasm comes to the fore when he comes on it's much like Tuivaiti also they make there impacts because of the mentioned.
The maturation of these 2 will happen when they have to step foward and be starting fowards and carry the load.Are they ready to do this yet I'm not sure but it's why you still need a Paulo there to show these kids the way.
We do not have starting quality forwards thats the truth.
Exactly right EA, yet we had people creaming their dacks over our smaller, more mobile forward pack during the orf-season. The simple fact is, we need more size, speed and aggression through the middle. Until we get that, we'll be close to the bottom of the heap, regardless of the quality of our backline.
Yeah that was before rcg, ofa, lane and matterson were no longer options, we were going to have some big bodies mixed in with some smaller more mobile forwards like moretti, Williams, hopgood and guymer. Nobody would have been excited about only having one genuine front rower available in paulo, a bit of context helps tell the whole story.
