I'll be there tomorrow but I must confess that the abject nature of last weeks performance has taken a lot of the anticipation away from me. McDonald's expected return leaves us with only three first choice players who are injured, which by our somewhat catastrophic injury benchmarks, is as good as it gets. If we are to win the forwards are going to have to improve massively. As dissapointing as our spine was last week, they are always going to struggle if we get smashed down the middle. Fingers crossed for a huge improvement.
I've not liked our pack for a while and it's not much better this year for me. Lisone, from what Smith is saying, looks to be some way off being anywhere near fully firing. Sounds like it's taking him a bit to settle. We badly miss Mik when he's not in and fully fit. I think we have lacked power for some time now. I'm sure Smith will sort in time once he has cap to play with and as the yonger guys develop of course.
Looking at it for tomorrow we lack some punch. Bentley coming back helps us but only in work rate and defence.
Holroyd - Has potential but a way way off yet.
O`Connor / Leeming - Meh. O'Connor could be very good but he's a long way off the best in SL still.
Tetavano - Meh. Been very poor on balance though was better when smith came in. Doesn't make enough yards.
Gannon - Huge potential and punching above weight now.
Martin - Like. Good player.
Smith - Like. Good player will get better.
Lisone - Too early, looks unfit.
Sangare - Like. Looks best prop with Mik. Huge potential to get better.
Oledzski - Best prop and up there with best in SL.
