Williams
Drinkwater

Looks a very limited squad and one that lacks brains. Think Burgess could benefit from some on-field coaches or at least one….and I don’t see one.

To be fair if we signed the Aussie test squad you probably won’t get many saying they see that as a Wire GF winning 17. (We are all fairly frazzled at this point I guess).

What a player Currie could be if he displayed Crowther’s heart.

Crowther stood out for me on Sunday. All effort and determination.

I thought it was a really strange loan signing but now he’s staying it makes sense.

Currie looks finished.

course he's not finished, you dont think we'd have been daft enough to sign him to a 3 year deal if he was finished, do you.

A lot depends on the coach. That pack, if fully motivated with Bullock and Kasiano (without errors) as interchanges, should be very competitive - Fitzgibbon is quality and Nicholson will be a year better. Williams is SLs best half back and Dufty is extremely dangerous as are our wingers. It then comes down to the centres and Tai looks good, and King, while not the best can be descent if he finds his pre-contract form.

I'm optimistic we can do something next year, but I'd have more confidence if we could keep Gleeson, or obtain a tactical attacking coach of sorts for Burgess to bounce ideas off.
