Nasheed here,
May recall me as the guy that has the good oil time to time.
I am watching some highlights of various games and what's dawned on me severely in the modern 2020 game is the need for speed.
I'm not talking about the speed that killed my friend Ali in Thailand, I'm taking bait fast running players.
This is where we truly lack. Speed where it matters.
Our backline had Floppa, Montoya, Lewis, Cogger Holland and Okonbor. Some of those are sensational players but none are truly fast.
Our actual speedsters, Meaney and Reimis, don't seem to have any clue on how to use it.
This is so important going forward to get it right, and it may be the biggest case to getting Charlie staines.
It looks as if the hookers that are succeeding the most have some serious acceleration and speed of ball delivery.
Fortunately, this is something JMK has, so I am not truly worried about his ass If we cannot recruit a number 9.
What I am worried about is our backline speed. Cotric is a start and his speed is what I'd want from a centre. DWZ speed is overrated, but I guess he's sufficient for argument purposes.
I'm really worried that we are going to lack an extra set of legs out there when it gets real.
Could we have pulled off the try that Holmes started for that winger against the bulldogs late in the game?
That's what the game is becoming. Attrition and pure speed based.
It's so important we find a way to get rid of Hoppa. I think the best thing is to go a centre combo with DWZ/Cotric and Schoupp and get a new winger as a Hoppa swap.
Hoppa for JAC is my dream scenario that's realistic.
1. Meaney/staines
2. Okenbor
3. DWZ
4 Cotric.
5. JAC
6. Averillo
7 green
It may not be the greatest backline but perhaps the backline we need to field
Only the number 7 can get away with turtle behaviour.
We can turn this but there's some critical backline decisions ahead I think.
