Just seen the try's, some really really awful defending out wide by our backs and once again our failure to deal with kicks.

Certainly worried about our backs next year if the gambles don't pay off, not convinced Micheals and Talanoa are good enough for the wings. Are Naughton and Lancaster ready?

No good having a great pack if your backs aren't good enough.

Not saying he's a bad signing but we should have used the Manu money (which is likely to be a fair wedge) and signed a quality centre.

I agree, but is there one available, I'm as worried about the wings as the centre position.

Absolutely. I'm not 100% about Shaul either. I do rate Talanoa and sounds like Fonua could go well, but the imbalance between forwards and backs is stark.

I prefer Talanoa in the centres, so as it stands I would go with

Shaul
Fonua
Talanoa
Carlos T
Naughton/Micheals/Lancaster

Certainly isn't a top 4 backline, on paper probably still the worst in the current top 8.

I really hope I am wrong.

Kris Welham hasn't signed his contract yet and after last week's performance we could get him on the cheap.....

He's yours. Two all day prinny key parking permits and a bike repair kit.

Not exactly Hardaker, Briscoe, Moon, Watkins, Hall, is it?

Sod it, put Frank in the centres.

Throw in a bag of Bob Carver's chips with scraps and you've got yourself a deal.

I'd rather put a brain damaged sheep in the centres than Welham. He must have the same set of incriminating photo's as Yeaman to stay in the first team so long.
