You do have a point. From the few games i have seen Marshcke. His kicking game from dummy half, his runs and vision seem a lot better than what we have currently. He isnt a freak or champion at all, just sick of what we currently have. Atm willing to try anything .Can't do worseLol - wait the 2 weeks, gets the specs on and watch Marshke again...
I think the problem is that because the current options are so shit, we give some of these fringe guys more credit than what they deserve.

With time I reckon this team will do well, Reimis Smith is our best back, tall, strong and fast, good in the air too i think his our X-Factor put him at fullback he has the confidence to come with it.Sounds good to me. I like it!!
I like Meaney at fullback, more the issue of what's around him rather than himself imo. However if he was to be moved to the wing (which i don't think will happen) we would then need to sign Corey Oates and move Remis to centreMeaney Cogger Jmk. Are becoming an issue. Stats arent everything but they dont lie either. Meaney 0 linebreaks 0 trys. Only 1 try and linebreak assist. Cogger 0 linebreaks 0 linebreak assits 1 try assit. Jmk 0 trys 1 try assit 1 linebreak assit.
So 0 trys 0 linebreaks and only 3 try assits between the 3 of them. Ladies and gentleman we need a new spine. Only 1 in the spine ill keep is Foran. We need to go shopping.
Maybe move Meaney to the wing. Buy a fb a hb and a hooker. Ohh and a new coach we need 1 of them also.
If our forwards dominate the ruck lol last thing they dominated was the buffet..I saw Cogger jump into the hooker a fair bit on Saturday he did ok but he does lack a bit in the defence side of things. 2 of the try's against us were partly his errors.
I would get Lewis back in the team there is little difference between them. In fact I think if our forwards dominate the ruck either would be OK.
Love the big bench, should start winning with these guys1. Meaney

Has been playing well for us in Canterbury Cup since returning from injury.I see a lot of people have put Renouf To'omaga on the team, I've watched him play on Sunday and to be honest he's either unfit or lazy hr Wasn't involved in attack much. The only positive thing about him from that game was when he took the hit ups they were affective. He needs to get more involved that's my opinion. I've been a big fan but judging from that performance he ain't ready for first grade.
