Most comments here are about the Backline - seems strange when we have the worst forward pack in the comp with the worst defensive record. I think the halves and the rest of the backline would love to play behind a dominant pack that goes forward and repels the attacking team rather than drop most of the ball and make the halves play off the back foot. Last game the forwards had a go and the result was the backs looked much better. Bet Herbert and Kearney would like to see that sort of effort rather than the rubbish forwards they have played behind all year. Don't think we have seen a game this year where the forwards were dominant. In the state of Origin Queensland bashed New South Wales in the first 20mins and Thuston, Smith and Lockyer toyed with them.

I would like to see hard working forwards brought in Plus a couple of centres that know how to defend.

i agree with bulliac here. the investment needs to be in the areas where we dont have good and cheap kids coming through, which is the backline. i would go all out for a strike centre and keep a big chunk of cap space for it.

Am I reading the U20's v Salford team correctly, did Halley play at stand off? (In that context Franks "understanding" about Herbert at LF isnt so off the planet after all.) anybody see if this is right, and how he went? Addy does look as if he is back on song and challenging to be in the 1st squad, good for him and the squad.

Someone mentioned about Halley earlier so yes it would seem to be correct.

Good news about Addy, straight swap for Donaldson on Saturday.

found the posts thanks jockabull, looks promising for another half back and home grown too. and quinds defence is worse than ours has been so if I was Potter I would really go for a lot of points, and Addy would be the player to have in the team even if on the bench

Yes he did play stand off. He played Ok and seemed quite nippy. He's obviously not going to be fully up to the mark yet but he seemed to be confident on his feet, which is pretty important after such an injury. You're right about Addy he was excellent.
