| Quote Mrs Barista="Mrs Barista"Am I the only one who rates Fonua best at centre?'"
In his career he's bounced between wing and centre without having to be labelled as 1 or the other
Has lots of attributes for both
I'm tempted to go wing as I think carlos and him on wing as a combo is fractionally better than Fonua and michaels as a combo. Not much in it either way though |

| Quote Jake the Peg="Jake the Peg"He is but then what do you do with kelly and tuimavave? Recruitment seems a bit odd to me so far with connor and michaels seemingly unlikely to make the starting 17 despite being starting regulars previously. I think we'll see further leavers. For me, we should have said goodbye to michaels and been using connor and naughton as back ups but suspect naughton will leave which is a shame as he has done really well when given a chance'"
Can't understand why you gave Michaels a new contract as you seem to have plenty of cover in that area and he takes up a quota space |

Still amazes me, that people don't understand you need a squad to be successful, even more so next season.

The squad is about the right size looking at the fixtures
More the better. Just need to use it better imo. Radfords hinted at a more rotational approach next year tbf |

I like the idea of a Carlos and Fonua partnership. Fonua won't be stood out there with his hands in his pockets, Radford will have him coming inside a lot. And Carlos can get the ball to him early and back him up. Kicks to that side would be hard to defend too.
A right side of Manu, Kelly, Tuimavave and Fonua looks potential devastating.
Defensively it might not be the strongest combination we have. Whether that becomes an issue depends on how Kelly plays in defence. |

I think defensively that looks a lot stronger than we had this season.
Carlos is a good defender and Kelly isn't as bad as some make out. |

Really like the idea of Connor at full back.
Think we need a third pivot on the pitch and he
Has good hands and a decent kicking game.
Some tough choices for Radford.'"
That is why I would start with Connor on the bench.
He could come on at full back, or any position in the backs, and change our style of play. |

kelly is strong in the tackle but misses a lot. He's been consistently in the top 2 or 3 for missed tackles since he came over here. Having said that, most halves miss plenty of tackles as they're pinpointed by the attack and we've not signed him to shore up our defence |

Its a hit harsh on Griffin. He hasn't played a game yet and fans already aren't calling him our scapegoat? I think some of our supporters should wait until we've lost a few games before deciding its all one player's fault and stoking the fires of irrational hatred. |
