I feel you’re basing this opinion on a season of injuries and inconsistency. I believe with the right players on the pitch our squad can match absolutely any one. Obviously, that also requires those players to be in some sort of form which last year didn’t really allow.

We had two years of success with pretty much the same squad as we have now- baring Fonua and Watts (whom possessed undoubted quality) but you can’t say losing two players makes us a poor team? It’s often said that one player doesn’t make a team so how can losing two suddenly make us a poor one. Radford is meticulous and has enough about him to realise whether or not he needs an attacking or defensive coach to help him. I think saying he doesn’t have the ability to coach attackingly and deffensively does him disservice- especially considering the relative success he has brought the club.

I don't disagree tbf. The only issue is how he would adapt to the positional and defensive side of the game. Connor has played the position, I'm not sure about Kelly? But yes his pace, strength and ball skills would make him a nightmare to defend against when he comes into the line late.

connor would be a much better option than kelly at FB.

Thats a Dream Team combination.
Only in the eyes of Radford im afraid
its one of the reasons why we need a new coach if he goes for Dawson on the wing and Griffin at centre.
If we sign Ratu he should play ahead of Dawson.More pace, better defence and strong going forward.
I would play Logan at centre and Miloudi in the halfs or on the wing.
Radford will go for four forwards on the bench so use Griffin off the bench as an impact second row.
I guess a lot will depend on What happens to Connor and whether we sign Ratu.

The thing is, I don't actually think Shauls asked to do those things , I can't remember to many scenarios where , shauls in a position to make those kinds of passes, surely if they trained everyday using those structures , Shaul could surely learn to do that. I'm not sure a change of fullback would lead to different results in our attack

I agree with most of that except that I think Scott has overtaken Logan now.

Shaul
Faraimo
Scott
Tuimavave
Ratu
Miloudi
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Paea
Hadley
Minichiello
Manu

Griffin
Matongo
Nzoungou
Thompson/Litten

I quite like that side but unfortunately the one Radford will pick will bare no resemblance to that.
