Our solution i beleive looks as follows:
- McGuire to second row
- Gelnn/Thaiday stays on interchange as 20 min flash player - bring brains and experience
- Bird to Lock - 80min player
- Pearson and Opiac into the backs
- Captaincy to Mcullough (boyd is a pussy when it comes to getting in refs ear and getting agro)
- Send Oates, Kahu, Pearson and Mead to bootcamp for discipline and general life skills (harden the F*$K up)
- Send Roberts to train with all blacks in off season - learn how to not hide during the game
- WE NEED A HALFBACK - Kodi does not have the brains or physical ability to bring us a premiership.
- Bennett needs to make this his last year - As a club we are losing our ability to attract star players at a cheaper rate due to coaching success.
Until we find a halfback solution we will be top 8-4 team. It does not matter the draw, how many top 8 teams we play, how many sunday or friday matches we get. If we dont have brains and instilled discipline we will not win matches in arm wrestles. Blair and Moga have gone - although they come up with some good football - their brain explosions hurt and stack up during games.
We should not have let Benji go - hes better than Kodi - has 2 years left still and brings the kicking game and experience we needed in the halves. Hunt is not worth the money he went to the Dragons on - so there is no point saying we should have kept hunt either. I hope Bennett has a young gun up his sleeve in the half dept coming through ranks.
