We have SIX halves( if you include Shuster) , ONE hooker and our 4 three quarters have scored a total of EIGHT tries all year between them,. Of those our wingers have scored FIVE all year. Katoa has scored TWELVE tries in a team that has been decimated with injuries all year..Our ENTIRE backline outside of Tom has scored 15 tries this year.
Eight individual players from other teams have scored more than our entire three quarter line combined.The outside backs also have ZERO tries from kicks and conceded quite a few.
Why we have DCE , Croker, Cust , Metcalfe, Walker and Shuster in the top 30 is beyond me.Saying Croker and Cust are 9s doesn’t cut it. It’s probably the second most important position on the field.
Need to seriously address this going forward.Tom CANT be the make or break every year for us.Someone like Johnston is essential. Have to keep Levi when Fainu back. One hooker is madness.And we need to inject some speed.
Roster is so unbalanced right now. Not talking about spending more , just spending or upgrading / releasing in the right areas To be a contender it has to change big time.Its not an easy task but it has to be done , particularly finding a way to make Toms hamstrings not being the sole factor in delivering a premiership.
