Does that mean Copley or Reed was likely to get the center spot over him?
I can't remember the last time Reed had a stand out game. Please tell me we don't have to watch him for the next 5 years lol
Seriously? A few runs out from our 20 is a good game? Yeah he's solid in defence but is that enough in today's game? I don't think so!Tonight!
I still think we need to look for an outside back for next year to eventually take over Hodges in that right centre role, or to play on the wing if Kahu and Copley get gigs in the centres. Honestly, I don't think Vidot is a long term-option for the club, he is far too slow and has too many flaws in his game! Sure, he makes metres like a machine, but we can do better. Oates is a long-term option, but I can see him moving into the backrow within the next few seasons. I really rate Oates, he is a solid defender, decent under the high-ball, fairly quick for his height and weight and is a strong ball-runner - but he is a backrower. Maranta has been solid so far this season, but I see him as a depth player, I think we should still resign him. Here are a few players I think we should chase since Gagai has resigned with the Knights:
George Jennings
Dallin Watene Zelezniak
Glen Fisiiahi
Jake Mamo
Daniel Tupou
Not really sure who else....but this backline looks pretty slick:
1. Boyd
2. Maranta/Drew
3. Copley
4. Kahu
5. Jennings ect
6. Milford
7. Hunt
Let's look to our U20s for a winger before we go out laying money on buying one
