The fact he was captain for Aussie schoolboys gives me great hope. You don't captain them unless your a cracking player whilst must also have some leadership qualities about him. I'm happy with this signing with what is available I think we have done alright & at least have some options now to cover injuries & loss of form. Miller needs to stand up & be counted next year but if these two click we could have a very exciting halfback combination & one that could be the cornerstone of our team for the next few years.

Although defence is important, the three halfbacks with the most missed tackles last year (also in the top 10 in SL) were Chase, Dobson and Brough.



I'm more concerned with what they can do with the ball, which is our main area of concern.



In the last two years individually and as a team our defence has improved massively so hopefully under these coaches Miller and Rankin will improve.

Dobson can't tackle to save his life, but that's not a halfbacks forte. Briers neither.

Our props have no kicking game which is a concern

I never understand the argument.

half backs are targeted in defence to tire them out so it limits their attack, just has the quick smaller player targets running at the bigger player when they are tired, its just part of the game
