Sorry but can we stop adding 2 years to the guys age. He's only 33.

Brett hodgson is a year older than him and plays as a running back.

So he'll be 34 next year then. THat's one year on to his age!

And Brett Hodgson is looking poor for it too.

Very true. No arguements from me there.

So whilst our pack will improve this year, which would be enough to turn over yesterdays result. Lance in the halves is a 4 year waste of time that is acting as a block for other players, money wise, overseas wise and playing wise.

Lance could have slotted in for Robes if Gaskell had been retained. At least Lance does have lots of experience at 9 even if he isn't the quickest.

As I said, the wing spots are less of a priority when we have no direction in the halves and a lack of grunt up front. Recruitment is more vital in that area than on the wing. I'd rather us sign quality at half back and prop than be looking to waste quota spots and large amounts of salay cap on a winger.

Isn't the just one more year to tied us over (because there is nothing better) approach
caused enough problems in recruitment in a number of positions ?

You don't have to break the bank for a meli replacement. priority is 7/6 and Prop.

It's also about freshening up a rather stale complacent and reactive culture.
The club need to be more ruthless in turning over players.

Junior project winger who will make mistakes - YES

Meli one more time - NO THANK YOU
