3 of our 5 quota players are hardly "names"

| Quote: Mrs Barista "I disagree. We've got Hall, Yeaman, Whiting, Turner, so quantity, but not proven experienced quality. If we had a big quality centre playing outside Manu to put either Calderwood or Briscoe away we'd be more threatening.'"
If we had a team of superstars in each position we'd be even more threatening.
You can always improve a squad, but you have to prioritise. Centre simply isn't that weak an area compared to Half Back and Pack, especially as we have young English players who can play there for many seasons to come. There's plenty of threat in our centres provided we get them quality ball - and to do that we need a good pack and half backs that can create.

If Long would have been fit sunday, 95% of posts on this board since would not have happened

| Quote: Mrs Barista "You're right, but I'm going on the basis that Long is fit, in which case we have a quality scrum half available. We don't have the experience/quality in the three quarters that we should in the squad even if everyone is fit, and have a quota player sat in the stands.'"
We have an International centre and two International wingers. We have a full back who's played in the NRL.
Not sure how much more experience and/or quality we need at this point in the squad's development TBH.

But we've prioritised the pack such that all our quota spots are used on it. We've also got, on paper, 2 very good halves in Horne and Long. I don't see that Whiting and Yeaman as 1st choice centres isn't weaker than both those areas. I take the point that we have more cover in the centres, but not that we have more quality.

We have one creative half back. You saw on Sunday what happens when he's injured. If we lose a centre we have ample cover of good quality.
Moa will be a good signing and could be a good signing for years to come. It would have been better for squad balance to sign a backup half back, but in the absence of one (whether through not looking properly or unavailability) then he was certainly a better option than another centre. Assuming that he gets used correctly, of course.

I'm just hoping that we don't hit double letters by the end of the season.
