Moreso that their effort players that do the small things that go a long way. At least that's what I saw of him at the Roosters, we only saw a glimpse of it against the Bunnies.
Agreed, we lack versatility, atm we struggle if anything outside a middle is out.
I feel like the loss of Palasia has gone a little unnoticed because of some other higher profile players that have also moved on. The quality of our current fringe forwards are weaker than last year, and they are struggling to replace our top forwards.
Trust me brother Palasia hasn't gone unnoticed, he was our clear bench ballplayer lock option, in the back half of last year it was arguable he was better than Patty at it, he got some long balls out hitting the line that created tries that shouldn't be possible.
Can we get him back somehow haha? He is stuck on the bench for the Titans.
no, unfortunately, even though they are stupid for not playing him at starting lock which is clearly where he should be for those dud *****.
Player swap with Tapau seems like a fair trade. Hasler loves a reunion with his old players.
no way he accepts that.
To be fair, we did have some really good sets from the forwards against the Panthers (mainly Jenson, Hethington, Willison and Carrigan). We weren't trapped in our 30 as much as teams usually are by them.
And to think Sailor and Oates could've also been out the door... management of the depth has been pretty terrible by the R&R coming into this year.
