The only way we will be effective in the middle with this current line up is if our speedy backs take a fair amount of workload coming out of dummy half with quick play-the-balls…. That way the defence is retreating when our smaller, less impactful middles take a carry and find their front…. Though issue with this is fitness to execute “fast ball” for 80 mins.
You look at a team like Penrith, albeit they have strong middles, they are making 40-50 meters in three hit ups through Turuva, Edwards and To’o.
Potentially we could manage this via, Critta, Fox and Kiraz??
At the end of the day, to be a serious contender, a team needs good middles, we literally have none… they are coming off the bench at most other clubs.
1 or 2 quality middles is massive for us, if we can manage to jag the caliber of a Saifiti, Taumalolo, AFB we’re in very good shape.
