The Aussies develop backs for fun- he is way behind them in terms of where they are, he needed to do what Dom young did, or widdop and go a couple of years ago. Young had the athleticism, the defence, the skills, it was just his decision making that he needed to hone- and of course doing that as a winger is a whole different prospect to doing it as a FB or half.

There are ups and downs in the season. The result was disappointing but we're in a tough run of fixtures and maybe this is our out of form patch. Either way we're still 3rd and once hill, tui and Ricky are back anything could happen

We have had a great season, but with our first choice squad out there we are a half back, a centre and a winger away from being a side that can expect to win anything. Neither Cogger nor Russell are good enough, and don't complement Fages skill set. We need better outside backs to complement Leutele and Jerry. This is taken purely from the perspective of what Watson is saying he is trying to build, i side that can compete regularly with Saints and Wigan. If that is the intention i am disappointed with the fact that recruitment appears to be done for next year, because we are not in that bracket.

I agree with the above completely. We have a good solid hardworking team. With players who can have glimpses of individual flair and brilliance but to me the X factor is missing ( especially if Tui is out). We need something a bit different in the halves. I would love to see Brodie Croft from Salford playing with Theo or Ollie someone who can run and creates confusion in defence

Isn’t that supposed to be what pryce will bring????
He’s not as good as he’s being made out to be- YET- but he won’t get better unless he plays. We are building. It takes time.
