[QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3049528, member: 9326"] I think it's honestly fairly simple. Our Hooker and our Fullback simply suck. That's seemingly a simplistic view of it, but it's a reflection of our inability to recognise that the game is changing and these two positions are arguably the two most important positions in the modern game, with really only the Halfback coming even close in their ability to dictate a result. Look at the really successful sides of the last 3-5 seasons and they all share that much in common. A devastating running/playmaking Fullback and a Dummy Half who is a constant threat around the ruck. Slater/Munster & Smith Inglis / Cook RTS/Tedesco & Friend Morgan/Coote & Granville Barba & Ennis At Origin level, more of the same: Slater & Smith had more than a decade of dominance and now NSW are having their turn and I'd argue that by far their biggest advantage right now is the devastation that Tedesco & Cook inflict on Queensland. Now some of the really elite sides will also have a world class Half, but rarely do they have two great Halves. I look at Manly who I think personally had a much lower quality roster than us overall and who have been ravaged by injury this year, but they've managed to remain competitive because they have a Fullback and Dummy Half setup which asks constant questions of the opposition defence. Canberra are another side who have probably the worst Halves in the comp on paper and yet they continue to be competitive because they've unearthed a Fullback who constantly busts tackles and in Hodgson they have a Dummy Half who puts the opposition defence under pressure around the ruck. For mine, until we correct the balance of our side and invest considerably in our salary cap on a world class Fullback and Dummy Half, we'll continue to be just making up the numbers. [automerge]1561946841[/automerge] If we went to market to buy Kalyn Ponga, basically no matter what it cost, along with a full preseason for Turpin, I think we could turn our fortunes around almost instantly.
