I thought in the off season that if the trust in our spine didn't play out, we are a bottom 4 side. Try bottom 2.
Just some observations:
- Clarke was a poor hooker last year and this year he is no better. It appears we put all our eggs in Brandon Smith's basket and lost out. At any rate that would have been for 2023 so we had no plan b. That is poor recruitment.
- Sexton did very little in his 4 games last year and everyone could see he was as slow as a wet weekend. He is now 11 games into his career and he has shown nothing. His kicking game is hopeless. A recruitment gamble and fail. Holbrook takes responsibility for these decisions.
- fullback is a huge problem. Campbell in his games this year did little other than be a speed hump. He is far too small to be an NRL fullback.
- Lui is on retirement holiday
- Mo went backwards last year and that has continued. Ditto re comments about Wallace and Proctor.
- some of the coaching has me stuffed. We don't come up in defence, but what really gets me is in the early sets, quite often we'll have one forward carry it in the set, followed by the usual predictable kick. Holbrook is losing me fast.
- I like watching Fafita but no way is he worth the cash. Would be happy to let him go unless he drops his price a lot.
Desperately need a half and hooker, but then again that's what few of us said last year. Nothing's changed and I'm sick of the excuses.
