You're right. Played 6.

Horne: tries 3, assists 1, metres 538, tackles 113, busts 14, missed 7
Yeaman: tries 3, assists 1, metres 482, tackles 68, busts 7, missed 5

Shocking

And to give context

Shenton: tries 2, assists 2, metres 496, tackles 103, bursts 12, missed 9
gidley: tries 4, assists 2, metres 509, tackles 156, bursts 9, missed 3

Clearly shows that G Horne is the best centre in SL!!

Bit harsh on Whiting there........we can keep him and get rid of the other 2.

If you read it again you will see that I am saying that these 3 give us all the utility back up we need lets not sgn anymore utility players!!!

Thats the problem we have in the squad at the moment, Peter Sharp in his infinite wisdom seemed to want utility players who clould play in various positions, this has proved to be a big mistake and i think over a period of time Agar & Sharp will release maybe 2 utility players and sign one top quality player to satisfy one position (centre/full back being the obvious positions), however i think it will be 2010 before they are able to do this due to the contract situation with the players involved.

Grand Final appearance and a Wembley appearance indicates to me that it wasn't a big mistake, we have only got 2 utility players surplus to requirements, we are carrying too many forwards though.

whilst Bryne has been ok, we shouldn't have used a quota spot on someone we could find a British equivalent of. Cusack looked a poor buy last season, but has proved his worth now.

I think the priority has to be a new centre to give us more creativity out wide and possibly a new fullback dependent on Motu Tony's knee

if a top class half back (I mean current international/state of origin standard) was available I would sign them as a priority as well, good though Thorman has been so far (he could be retained as well if we lost a couple of forwards)
