Quote ="just_browny"I think some of the signings talk is a bit fanciful. We will sign Leyland to replace Drinkwater, but any cap space we had handy will have gone to the upgraded contracts for the younger players. If Fitzgibbon is done - and we have missed him in both playoff games, we will need to replace him.
Tai is still only 25 and Burgess clearly rates him. I really hope Wrench can get back into shape over the off-season because he has all the silky centre skills people are moaning about Tai not having.'"
Exactly. He's 25 and he lacks basic rugby skills. Similar to a lot of the PNG team you see at every world cup. They never give below 100% and can hit hard but they're just not very good. He costs us tries by not being able to pass or beat a man. He needs to be a filler player and nothing more if we want to start winning things. I have no idea what Sam sees his value is when we have Lindop waiting in the wings. I just hope this was the last season before Lindop is brought fully through or he goes with Wrench and sorts his positioning out. It's a much easier fix then teaching someone what to do on a rugby pitch apart from tackle hard and run hard.
