[QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 2932428, member: 8274"] A specific thread to isolate weaknesses in the squad and what needs to be done to address them. Will obviously evolve over time as new issues arise and old ones (finally) are stamped out. [B]A generally weak squad[/B] - We have comfortably about 1 million or even more worth of players in our top order that are barely first grade standard, if at all. The likes of Korbin Sims, Sam Thaiday, Darius Boyd, Tom Opacic, Nikorima arguably, and Joe O arguably could all be culled tomorrow and we would hardly notice their absence. The solution to this is simple; we tell whoever is currently in charge of our recruitment and retention to hit the bricks and get some quality people in who actually care about doing a good job to build a useful outfit. [B]Our forward pack has sucked for way too long - [/B]McGuire for all his qualities is as dumb as they come. The amount of times we've seen him kill attacking opportunities by taking a lazy hit up on the 4th this year has surely cost us about 50 potential points scored over all the games. TPJ looks to be a great talent who will mature into a real monster of a player, but he is still very green. Haas will get his debut tomorrow which will be exciting to see, but as it is now (and further to the above) the likes of Sims, Thaiday and Joe O are making us look like powderpuffs up front and that's basically been the case since Petero hung up the boots. It's becoming very aggravating. We badly need an experienced head in our prop rotation like a Graham or a Scott to mentor the young guys. [B]Overpaid marquee players[/B] - I still like Milf. When he is in top flight, he is a joy to watch. But he isn't in top flight, not at the moment anyway. He has shown glimpses of it over the past couple of weeks, then has brain fades like the one we saw last week which undoes all the good work he has built up. He is worth a fair quid to be sure, but not the marquee value he is currently at. He got the big payday a bit too early in my opinion, and it has done harm to his confidence. WE NEED A GAME MANAGER TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF HIM and we needed it in this off season past. Probably one of the worst botched opportunities the club has seen in its history, (again, hit the fucking bricks recruitment flogs) up there with letting the likes of Cam Smith and Greg Inglis slip through the cracks. [B]No leadership[/B] - Don't need to go too much into this one. It's been well documented by many members over the past 7 weeks. We basically have no Captain. Boyd is a busted ass on top of having a serious case of the sooks when things don't go his way, and that attitude filters down and infects the whole team. He really should be Super League bound at years end, but he's already got a shiny new contract that we'll have to continue to put up with even after Bennett gives it away. Swell. [B]Bennett's head/s[/B] - We can hang shit on the media and their tabloid quality material all we like (god knows I do), but it is obvious that Wayne's mind has not always been on footy this year. His personal life and the media's unending obsession with it is surely dogging him, as good as he is at hiding it (usually.). He has made some questionable decisions or lack thereof regarding Boyd's captaincy that frankly is unlike the Bennett that we know, and we really need him to get his head back on the job if we are to salvage anything from this season and beyond.
