Tuimavave was brought to the club to play centre and now he is the answer to our problem at 6.
Unfortunately i think Radford initially had it right identifying Tuimavave as a centre but has got it wrong thinking he is the answer to our problem at 6.
I can see him moving Fonua to the wing next season.
I dont know enough about Griffin suffice to say he is the typical Radford signing for a back big strong runner but lets hope he can defend.
Connor for me is a waste and will be a fringe utility player like Naughton.
If Abdul was that good he would be on a long term contract but we all know he is off contract at the end of the season.Talent yes, but needs to massively up his fitness levels and find some pace.Think the club will give him another year to show what he can or cant do.
Some fans will see the half back situation like you do and others like me will see we can go to another level with an established 6 pushing our attack.
We are still poor in the opposition 20 ball in hand and rely too much on kicks.
A quality 6 like Brough in our side would make a massive difference.

Most of our tries come from kicks or a short ball to a forward nr the line rather than opening up a team with ball in hand in the opposition 20.
Dont get me wrong im loving this season but can see what we are missing.
As i said i still think the club will bring in an established 6 for next season.

If we sign a six next year I honestly think we will win the cup and finish in the top 4.

It's so obvious I can't believe Radford can't see it and all those fans can.

Been a real disaster this year having the likes of Carlos at 6.
