The storm showed us on sunday on what a successful team is built on. The so called spine of the team the 1,6,7 and 9 positions are the nucleus of a good team and then you have no frill forwards who hit up all day and can defend and backs who are quick and also can defend. Every one of us know this except it seems brian smith.
Our spine is the worst in the comp and it wont get any better until changes are made to this set up. this is the main problem with our team. We have a fullback who was a legend however the game has passed him bye, you need a fullback who can break the line, be a ball Player and also a good support player. We have a 7 who cannot set up an attack or ever take the line on. Our hooker is a solid defender however is too slow from dummy half. I dont know what i can say about braith as he really doesnt do or offer us anything. If pearce really doesnt get any better next year could see mortimer at 6 and moloney at 7.
We have a great five eight coming next year so we need to concentrate on the other postions which is easier said than done. If we can fix this up then i belive we already have the young forwards that will mature in the next few years to take us forward.
As for the backs... We need pace badly.we are so slow. If we get a new fullback and moga, peni and RTS develop than we could have a good team.
Its only round 4 however changed are needed this year for us to improve and to continue to improve for us to have any hope for next year
