We definitely need to recruit backs. We are looking good in the forwards but are weak in the backs. We need a strike center and a good wing replacement for Fergo when he spends half the season out injured.
I just love the positivety of our failure in 2021 even before pre season training has started.
The 1EE excution squad was simply away on Christmas holidays - how stupid of me to think otherwise.
12 backs (including Jennings) and 15 forwards on official team list so far.
2 of those forwards (reportedly) could cover in the halves
Yes, a couple of astute buys to bolster the backs would be in order, but who is to say the ones we have cannot cut the mustard

We have to make some signings to get to our 30, it should be backs predominantly at this stage. Col you know I've gone into bat for Opacic, I think he could be great for us, but we need more depth out wide for sure.
Same here, I have not seen him play, but the MJ issue hangs over the position, if MJ is gone then Opacic pretty much seals that spot, if MJ passes the b sample then I would have Opacic in the other centre spot.
I have not seen Burns either but he's young and there are wraps on him, would put pressure on others in the backline though.
IF Opacic regains his original form he is a far better centre than Waqa.
You heard it here first.
[Edit] 2018 Redcliffe Dolphins premiership winning team had Stagg and Opacic as their centres, Both featured prominently in a convincing win over Easts, with 1 try to Opacic and several goals to Stagg.

Would you class Opacic as a starter or depth brissy?
I know your not asking me, my opinion is, he is a starter.
Cheers Chris.
Cant say I have seen that much of him to say if he is a starter or depth player.

I think if we get Burns, he is a starter......it then will become very interesting with Opacic offering real depth and a sub for Waqar if he fcuks up.
