Some big stats for Bureta yesterday.

191 metres
13 carries
15 metres average gain
5 tackle busts
2 clean breaks

But like I said , he’ll probably be quiet for 3 /4 games now . I dont dislike him , just think we could get more from him . Not sure why you’ve replied to me if you didn’t have a opinion before yesterday.

The thing is he arguably looked pretty quiet yesterday. I was very surprised when I read those stats. I remember him doing a couple of big runs but didn't think he'd be anywhere near 191.

I also think it’s easy to get them stats when you have a big convincing win like yesterday. If he as them kind of stats most weeks I’d be happy with him but I don’t think he does .

Think Shaul will be back in as soon as he’s fit to play again and is one of Radders favourites according to all the players. Wynne plays exactly like Shaul does with all the same traits but with better hands. I know he’s a Hull FC fan but in the next couple of years if he’s not getting much game time, I expect that Rovers will come sniffing.

Did you not hear Radford on sports talk this week. Wynne doesn't like rugby, he doesn't watch it, let alone support anyone!

Wonder if we’ll still go for Josh Jones?

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Sun Apr 21, 2019 4:38 am  

Faramino is a must IMO.

Westerman, Logan and Hadley as well is the deal is right-hand reflects the value to the team.

Scott and Litten on new deals aswell.

I'd release Green, as we have Brown and Masi coming through.

Another prop and backrower(Probably two) is a must, probably a new winger too, although that might depend on Naulogo and Logan.

Shaul/Wynne
Farimino/Dawson
Carlos/Scott
Connnor/Griffin
New winger/Naulogo/Logan
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor/Masi/Brown
Houghton/Litten
Bowden/New prop/Thompson/Fash
New backrower/Lane/Hadley
Savilio/New backrower
Westerman

The key is a leader to replace Ellis, someone like Joel Thompson would be perfect.

Agree with most of that but can’t see us going with 5 wingers in the squad . I know we have numbers in the prop department , but I think we could do with signing 2 , or someone who can play prop back row . Brown is only 18 , how many games will he play , fash I don’t think is good enough and Thompson is never a prop in my eyes .Also missed Bienek out

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Sun Apr 21, 2019 11:45 am  

Shaul/wynne
Farimo/dawson
Ratu/logan
Carlos/scott
Griffin
Connor
Sneyd
Taylor/masi/brown
Houghton/litten
Bowden/new prop/ bienek
New back rower/ lane/hadley
New back rower/savelio
Westerman/kelly

Releasing mini, manu, washbrook, talanoa, green and possibly fash and thompson

I think 4 wingers is enough with ratu and farimo good enough with logan and dawson as backup

Certainly will need 2 second rowers and a prop. And id also look at keep using kelly as utility off the bench as its worked brilliantly lately. Id sign another loose forward/centre to keep griffin, westerman and carlos on there toes so

X2 second rowers
X1 prop
X1 loose forward/centre

Must include experiance and leadership qualitys at least two of the above, some mentioned Joel Thompson and also Aubusson who both have plenty of experiance

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Sun Apr 21, 2019 3:31 pm  

I’m pretty relaxed about things now we have Sneyd signed up.
Recruitment will be centred around signing some line breakers I’d imagine.
Think we need to re-sign Bureta because he totally suits how we play, and we’d struggle to sign similar (unless Fonua comes back)
