Moving Forward (literally)

Posted by Who Cares on May 9, 2025 at 2:26pm

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

Stevies son , Dylan Wander was half the problem . I swear for all his shortcomings, he at least used to be kinda quick ? The last few weeks I reckon Mark Tookey could've run him down

  Maybe that partial ACL tear is hampering him?

  I believe that each year he has slowly added on more size which has slowly reduces his speed year by year.

Its crazy how quickly things change. It wasnt that long ago our middle fowards were our strength. RCG, Paulo, Brown with Matterson and Niukore off the bench.

I thought last night we looked better with the bench forwards on. They showed more aggression and seemed to get more meters than our starting pack.

Look, we are definitely in a state of flux at the moment, and all we can really expect is that the team as a whole improves week to week. We are building to have a decent crack in a few year's time, and with money to spend in coming years we should be much better than what we are seeing this season. That's the reality and what fans need to accept.

  Few years time? Kinda depressing.

  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.
