Quote Sal Paradise="Sal Paradise"I have never once questioned Sinfield's place on the side - just his influence - for me 3 out ever six plays going through him is too much and all teams have to do is pressure him and the attack cannot function. This would be OK is it were Benji Marshall - but it isn't. More variety is required and a half with a serious kicking game is a must.
If we had a more robust pack that would help for sure but it will not sort the attack which is pedestrian and predictable at best. The game has moved on since this worked - you either change the way you attack - something that is impossible with the current set up or you change the personnel.
As for changes - if the team sees 2/3 I will be amazed - GH will not sign new players when he can resign cheaper existing players.'"
It may be me being optimistic, however, I can see a number of changes being made. IMO if you are making wholesale changes then I wouldn't want to be throwing new halfbacks into the middle of this. I would concentrate on sorting the pack and threequarters while you still have McGuire, Burrow and Sinfield, then in 2-3 years when these three need replacing the new halfbacks are coming into a settled side and will have much more chance to succeed.
