    Thought aubo was our best behind Roger last week. For me, Cordner and Guerra are doing too much work in defence that they have lost their x factor on the fringes. Cordner is one of the best hole runners in the nrl and Guerra is a very hard man to tackle which makes him ideal to search for offloads. Maybe if liu goes to the bench and aubo plays lock he can do the majority of the defence to free up cordner and Guerra? I know aubo is a great line runner as well but I think our pack needs to be re-jigged.

    Liu, Evans, napa and taukeiaho all seem to be a similar player. They rely on their power and strength. I think we will need some more creativity from our pack if we are to win the comp. Also think we are still unsure of how to use jwh to maximise his effectiveness. If cordner and Guerra and friend are all to play big minutes it would make more sense to me for jwh to play heavier and super aggressive to then interchange to another power player like Evans.

    We've lost a lot with the departure of Sonny. No-one has had the balls to step up yet.

      People were saying sonny had a bad year for us last year, i would swap him for any one of our forwards in a heartbeat. He always had the ability to keep the ball in play and would still draw two defenders even when not playing that well, his defence was another big thing he didn't get applauded for if he had a quiet game in attack.

        SBW work off the ball is irreplaceable in my opinion.. There's only one player who works and has as much effect off the ball as SBW and he has also gone to union.

          We can't keep living in the past and I'm surprised they so far this year no one has really put their hand up to attempt the offloads and ball play. In the last twenty minutes against the sharks yesterday we started moving it around and absolutely slayed them.

            Only player in our team this year who really has an offload is JWH. It's a skill that, imo, all forwards should be capable of pulling off. Damn shame the rest of our forwards are fairly one-dimensional and non-creative

                  Guerra is showing signs of being able to pass before and after the line plus he has the size and fitness. He will step up.
