Completely agree that Dorn is not the only answer.
BUT we do need better support players. When St Helens and Leeds and other top teams make a break support comes flooding through on both sides and more often than not it results in a try.
Time and time again when we make a clean break there is one player in support at best and they are quickly out numbered and swamped by defenders.
Two concrete examples yesterday. Once when Purdham made a break in the first and the only player up in support was Randall. Another time in the second half Heckenberg made a break and he had no one with him.
This isn't really a this year problem, it has been there for the last few years. 2005 was probably the last year I recall that our players pushed through and properly supported the player with the ball. And even then it wasn't consistent enough.
If there is one thing Luke does really well it is that he arrives in close support to finish off a move.
If we are relying on him for our main creative and play making options then we are stuffed.
