Agree that our spine hasn't shown enough yet. 100%
But at the same time I don't think we're in that strong a position to be signing a fullback when DWZ has been decent enough. Agree we could maybe do better but surely a half and a centre is our priority?
The entire spine is a priority because out inability to score points is attributed to the fact that we don't have genuine points of attack to work off. Who's our elusive ball runner with pace and footwork? Who's our creative playmaker that can manipulate the defence and out his teammates into space? There just isn't enough there right now.
We have two promising players in Wakeham and Averillo coming through that bring key skills that are currently lacking in the team, unfortunately they look to be stuck behind other players. DWZ does plenty of things really well at FB but he isn't an elusive ball runner or ball player, sure he is an aggressive ball runner but is more reliant on attacking spaces that already exist or are created by teammates.
JMK non existent vision, can run fast in a straight line but again isn't elusive and has the balance of a toddler at contact. Can tackle. Lewis, not even going to touch that. Cogger, flashes of a half but overall average at absolute best right now.
Right now we're relying on so many players in key positions that are inexperienced that also have to improve or learn key skills required of that role. If someone hits the market with the required skillset then we'd be crazy not to look into it.
Ideal world everyone improves where needed and we have a very strong spine moving forward.... unfortunately it's not an ideal world and the chances of them all coming good are low.
