A horrible season, depressing and demoralising at many stages, so everyone has the right to express their concerns in any way they see on these forums.
I do think there is the framework to build a highly competitive team though moving forward, many may disagree, which is fine, because in the end that is what this environment is for.
We lose someone like Leary (who has potential and hopefully realises that elsewhere) but for those that have seen him play, I see Jamil Hopoate as someone who can play that explosive role from the bench with far more upside to Blake.
We lose Vave but have a player like Meehan, who will no doubt be part of the 17 next year and could be a huge X factor given his size.
With Blake Green coming in, Walker can go back to the position where he can be most explosive and we will also gain a second point of attack and most importantly a second kicking option, which has really nullified DCE this year.
With some of the below players, I hope many of us can see some level of future potential in this team.
Tom Trbojevic (Fully fit)
Jake Trbojevic
Jamie Buhrer
Daly Cherry Evans (Fully fit)
Matt Parcell
Dylan Walker
Darcy Lussick
Steve Matai (confident will play next year)
Blake Green (once confirmed)
Martin Taupau
Jorge Taufua (Fully fit)
Jamil Hopoate
Willis Meehan
Addin Fonua-Blake
Shaun Lane
