2016 won the first two easily, lost the next 3...rest of the season wasn't that bad

Pretty sure Pearson said Pre season with the money spent and Players brought in, a Grand final appearance is the least he and the club expects?

Hes been excellent so far. Definitely the pick of our new signings. Shame we haven't got a decent 4th prop as he would be better playing 13 with a bit more space. His run and pass for the try last week was top drawer.

I've said it already but signing fonua was a poor decision for the squad make up

Team meeting on the pitch post game today.

I have always agreed with you on the lack of a 4th experienced front row.
As someone mentioned it looks like the Fonua signing was made from the heart rather than the head.
He obviously still isnt fit.Just how long does he need?

Fonua will be a good signing long term, particularly when Ratu leaves next year. Pack isn't a problem, it's our half backs and attacking structure.

Hopefully this will be something like the side we put out next week.

Spot on

We rely heavily on individuals rather than structures.
All teams have injuries, but other teams seem to be able to have continuity in how they play when players are missing

We base our game on bullying teams. Once some of the big units are missing we can’t play a different way, and those that come in don’t have the same presence.

Whatever happens, Alby needs to be back in the team

The pack is a problem. We have no cover other than Griffin then into younger players who arent looking like they're good enough

Carlos and Savellio wont be available
Its funny how one of the best second rows in the competition Josh Jones looks decidedly average in our team.
I am a fan and i know you are.Is it the Radford influence?
