The hysteria is out in full force and it will continue all week but I still have high hopes for this year and still think top 4 should be the aim
That said the start to the season has been dissapointing......I mean of course it was going to take time to gel but I did not see two flat performances like that.
So some measured thoughts away from the tantrums of most
Barrett - cannot be judged after two games, needs the full season before anyone starts calling for his head, rome wasn't built in a day
Lawrence and Starling - Positive move by Barrett and both played well, Lawrence in particular showed a lot of spark
Lawrence and Parcell - These two lifted us immensely, Parcell should start next week. I rate Api as a player but he has gone through a tough time a needs time in reserves to get himself back on track
Cherry-Evans - Forget the paycheck, we were happy to pay as were many other clubs but he does need to stand up on games where things aren't necessarily going his way
Walker - Dont panic, there have been some decent signs, he was never going to hit the ground running
Jake - Legend
Tom & Snake - Tom will be a superstar but Snake is still absolutely vital to our team, people on here need to stop wishing him out the door
Taupau - A glimpse of what is to come, looked dangerous in attack
Tapau, Matai, Taufua - Worry me defending side by side
Williame - Not as diabolical as touted but should be dropped.......We are really lacking backline depth and I worry when we have two or three out
Green - Better options available IMO
Brown - Not deserving of being lumped in with Williame & Green
Myles - A bit concerning
Next week
1. Stewart
2. Taufua
3. Lyon
