Man, our hands are really tied with these selections until round 11
The player that we need to start - Dietz can’t start until Round 11
Hard to engage any of our backline with Flanagan at the helm.
We have Cotric and Allen; 2 SOO players who did well last year but this year are super quiet,
Hoppa; former SOO who has been declining but I really think that due to our halves unable to make plays that involve the back line more.
Look at the The Morris bros, before they went to the Roosters. Experts said that their only opportunity would be super league and Remis Smith, finally starting to find his feet with a solid opportunities in-game at the storm.
If you put Ben To’o or Maika Sivo in our team they won’t produce what they’re doing now.
The only time when our backs get the ball is when they go for a scoot or catch it from a kick.
Few of our “best”players are injured
Napa is an egg
I know Flanagan needs to develop but wouldn’t it be better to develop in the lower league for a bit to learn how to hit the line or develop his in game kicking skills?
Or Flanagan at the 9 and Lewis in at 7. Idk I’ve been quite patient but am tired of Katoa at hooker when his best position is a utility (at best)
The forward pack don’t really have that guy to organise them so they’re a mess especially without Jackson.
What would you rather? A Lewis that can kick but can’t pass or A Flanagan that can pass but can’t kick ?
