I suspect too much of our cap is spent on halves and backs.'"
Agreed, two half backs with a cap spend of £350k, I'd bet Clark is on similar, thats 25% of our cap spent on 3 positions, when two of them play similar roles, I think its too many eggs in one basket - you could probably get away with it if one of Widdop/Williams was home grown, so taking another £100k off their cap value, but it doesn't work as it is in my opinion.
When we're looking to sign marquee players we're looking too much on whether they are a name to sell season tickets and not at if they will play their part in the squad winning a Grand Final - that is the biggest change needed in our recruitment.
On Williams form, I think he's been ok, but will always struggle behind a pack playing like ours is. He's at least visible, Widdop to me seems to be the one we should be focussing on in terms of value for money.
