Creativity upgrades needed from shaul and Houghton massively agree
Houghtons distribution and attacking decision making for me is getting worse, probably because of the workload he puts on himself defending, I'm hoping this is resolved by having Johnstone on the bench to spell him.
And I must say we looked a lot more dangerous in attack from fullback with Wynne

Johnstone wont get a look in unless Houghton is injured Shaul deserves the chance to see how he plays off some offloading forwards.If he continues the poor attacking form then i agree use Connor at Full back
Can't see this tbh. I like Fonua on the wing more but I like the balance of attack more in my team..and Shaul could thrive next yr in fairness and I'm not generally a Shaul basher. But this yr his support prowess left him which left him with 0 attributes as a contributing fullback in attack at least. Probably in the league's worst 4 or 5..miles n miles off the best in the comp I like the idea of Jake filtering in and spraying balls out wide hitting wingers on the chest from 10 out etc and adding a kick game from there. Think we'd be a completely different team for opposition to work out
That's my team aswell. Only thing I may change is which props/second rows start and which ones are on the bench. But that is the 17.

Make that two quality props Only need an injuries to Taylor and Satae and we are back to Masi and Bowden with second rows stepping in But Radford knows best

With Shaul as your number 1 you’ll never move to the next level, moving Connor to fullback would improve you but with Radford in charge you’ll be stuck trying to sneak into the top 5

I can't disagree. I like Shaul, he has a lot of good qualities. 15-20 years ago he would have been one of the best full backs in the world. But the modern FB needs to be another pivot, and he doesn't have the skill set to be really top class.
But as you allude to, Shaul is only a very small part of our issues. I just don't have any confidence in Radford's coaching ability.

Sao, Brown and Bienek?
Even if the 2nd rowers mentioned could do a decent job in Ellis, Savelio and Fash at prop.
I doubt see a prop as a problem, I have bigger concerns that props
