    Our error rates..I know our coach encourages attack anywhere anytime..we won 3 comps having the highest error rates..but does not sit well with the 6 again rules it's giving the opposition too much ball.
    Need to get that down.Kicking game for sure and I am sure Walker will improve in this area as his body strength grows.
    Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe

          Where do you want to see improvement in our side? How can we fix our attack for example? What are some of the things you hope the boys are working on as pre season drags on?

          Dont be lazy and just say “ attack “ or “ defence “ explain how you think it should be addressed etc.

          I’ll start -
          ERRORS- DRILL IT ALL PRE SEASON! HOLD THE BALL

          Kicking game. We have one of the best halfbacks to ever play the game on our coaching staff but yet we couldn’t nail a kicking game this year.
          Too many mild end to ends that are like catching practice for the opposition’s backline and then they end up making 10-15M in kick return.. If we have the momentum and a strong kick chase it’s the way to go otherwise when we are in the wrestle kick into space and early fark it we need to start turning sides around and forcing errors.

          Was going to say defence but I think towards the end of the season it tightened up dramatically.. whether it be friendy or cords or the both of em doing the work there it has clicked it seems…
          We don't have one player in the list of the NRL's top 14 heaviest players.
          Which means we're in danger of being run over.
          Other clubs are buying BIG.
          They know the rule..."big is better".

          Dolphins centre Valynce Te Whare now 114kg.

          131kg: Jordan Miller
          124kg: Wiremu Greig
          123 kg: Fonua-Blake, Junior Paulo
          122kg: Benjamin Te Kura
          121kg: Daniel Saifiti
          120kg: Tom Burgess
          119kg: Josh Papalii, Lazarus Vaalepu.
          118kg: Jordan McLean, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Loko Pasifiki
          Tonga

            Apart from AFB,paulo saifiti and burgess, it’s not a very impressive list.

            would you swap any of them for collins and JWH BB?

              How many unsuccessful seasons do the chooks need to have before we realise you need a top shelf game manager with a good kicking game in the halves.
              Rookies don't cut the mustard unless there is a clear dominant half that can game manage to partner with.

              After Cronk it's been Flanagan and Walker with mixed results
              that's why I don't think S Smith will be the answer to partner Walker as the next possible pairing.
              Unless either 1 or both really stand out next year as that dominant halve that is going to steer the ship.

                Out of all that list only one of them will win you a premiership...enough size and agility and attitude is what is needed
