Quote: Wires71 "Yes, fair enough. I was meaning in reference to our starting 17 being improved by Russell as a "human pinball" and a way of relying on to "get momentum". I think he is a useful squad player for us when injuries strike.
Where do you think our issues are for 2024?'"
Fair enough, firstly before I do moan I'm feeling quite positive about our 2024, and feel we are in better shape than the Powell era, but,
Past our Starting Props I feel there is quite a drop off there, and I'm expecting a lot from Musgrove
Depth at second row again quite the drop off when we get to replacements and like Musgrove expecting a lot from Fitzgibbon.
Half backs, we are very reliant on Williams, Drinkwater cannot have another season like last year, high hopes for Hayes but I want him breaking into the team for the right reasons not having too because Drinkwater is terrible, Powell could go there, but that doesn't give us a long kick game.
In the back line I'm quite happy Centres are improved although we are down two already, I'm a bit worried over Tai given what's been said about fitness, 1 year seems a good idea.
On the whole though can't wait for Saturday and to see how it all goes.
