| Quote: bonaire "The players you mention may be able to play 6 but they dont enhance the team as an attacking side.
You say 6 is more of a running game and Carlos has the right attributes to play a running 6 but have you seen him run the ball since he has been playing six?
All he is doing is receiving and safe passing however his defence has improved since he arrived.
We will get the best of Tuimavave back in the centre where he has more room to run and back up breaks.
We need an established six to take this team to the next level.There is no point wishing and hoping Carlos will suddenly develop into a top 6 he wont.
Whatever you say i still expect the club to sign an established 6 how and from where i dont know.'"
So you want to drop Mahe & griffin for next year to play CT in the centre? Pryce started his career on the matty sing, then went on to centre/stand-off, CT will make the transition it will make it easier as he is in & around good players, Connor will be a very good signing & when you hear Abdul speak he's not going to want to sit in the stands, lugs/lasty & hornet rate Abdul & say he's got a good career in front of him if he kicks on, I think AP would recruit a 6 if he thought what we've got isn't fit for purpose, it seems to me fans are already worrying about things that are not even happening or going to happen.

| Other than the prize money I don't really care about the LLS, in fact winning it could potentially be detrimentaly to our mentality. Simple fact is if we win our last 3 games we finish top

| don't get this we need a 6 for next year, we have 3 very decent 6s for next year imo, not doing to bad atm with 2, throw connor into the mix and I think we will be fine and they are all young, more of an issue will be end of next season when a few of our forwards might need replacing

I certainly dont want to move Fonua from centre to the wing but Radford brought him to the club to play wing now he is centre.
Tuimavave was brought to the club to play centre and now he is the answer to our problem at 6.
Unfortunately i think Radford initially had it right identifying Tuimavave as a centre but has got it wrong thinking he is the answer to our problem at 6.
I can see him moving Fonua to the wing next season.
I dont know enough about Griffin suffice to say he is the typical Radford signing for a back big strong runner but lets hope he can defend.
Connor for me is a waste and will be a fringe utility player like Naughton.
If Abdul was that good he would be on a long term contract but we all know he is off contract at the end of the season.Talent yes, but needs to massively up his fitness levels and find some pace.Think the club will give him another year to show what he can or cant do.
Some fans will see the half back situation like you do and others like me will see we can go to another level with an established 6 pushing our attack.
We are still poor in the opposition 20 ball in hand and rely too much on kicks.
A quality 6 like Brough in our side would make a massive difference.

Challenge Cup winners, Grand final semi finalists and you know better than Motu and Radford. Give Carlos a chance at close season training, come back in 6 months and tell us we need a 6. Has Abdull got a contract for 2017?

We have had our best season so far in a very long time we are 2nd in league with the first cup up for grabs in the bag, we've 2nd best attack/defence so how you make out we are rubbish with ball in hand in the 20 is not what I see as been poor, as for broughy we did try but the fee was massive as he's contracted for another 2 years, plus broughy is the same his kicks outweigh his passes.

The man is a fine art critic or a Dobbins troll, don't fall for it. I do it all the time then regret it.

I'm not biting at all lol, just we've had a cracking year (this far) with what I believe as a good strong squad for 2017, some are picking the bones & asking what ifs before this years even over, we've won the biggest game that most of us wanted more then anything, but don't seem happy I would dread to think what would be posted if we derailed weeks ago.

I only used Danny Brough as an example but he does run the ball a lot more than any of our halfs and we know what a good kicking game he has.
Most of our tries come from kicks or a short ball to a forward nr the line rather than opening up a team with ball in hand in the opposition 20.
Dont get me wrong im loving this season but can see what we are missing.
As i said i still think the club will bring in an established 6 for next season.

You dont know who i am and im certainly not a HKR supporter.
If you dont like debate then go back and watch the television.
You call yourself a HFC supporter but you dont even know that Abdull is currently off contract at the end of this season.
My post is about taking this team to the next level which an established six would do.
Please reply if you have anything meaningful to say which i doubt.

Think recruitments done other then the likes of yeamo, unless something goes wrong with our squad or a top player becomes available, but I believe that it's done.

| I reckon we are a stand off away from winning a trophy.
If we sign a six next year I honestly think we will win the cup and finish in the top 4.
It's so obvious I can't believe Radford can't see it and all those fans can.
Been a real disaster this year having the likes of Carlos at 6.

To be honest if we signed a proven off half, never mind top four , I reckon we could get a game away from the Grand Final. Carlos could take over from Yeanan who's been rubbish as well.
