2. Change the captain. James is an average player and doesn't inspire on the field.
3. This is where we should be developing the locals in the first instance. I'd like to see a situation where guys like Whitbread and Hipgrave develop via the bench, but most juniors have not kicked on when given the chance.
4. Agreed - our bench strength has been hopeless, not helped when Brennan played a midget like Rein off the bench
5. I think we should hit the market hard when the right player comes up, certainly no signings like Boyd or Latu. We need blokes that hate losing like a Graham, Reynolds, ang nothing less. I've had enough of holiday makers. Junior development for sure but we are slautering juniors when we bring them into our current rabble. We need guys that set the example and we don't have many blokes like that.
Yet again I see the off season slipping away without any decent signing news. Surely we ca n manage the cap by offloading some blokes and other clubs seem capable of doing it. To think we are spending as much on our roster as say Canberra and Manly says a lot about ourblokes performances.
