looking at our forwards last night it seems we desperately need some new blood quickly.kite,perry,gnulavua,rodney have been around for ages and king,cross,choc and stewart although not old have plenty of miles on the clock.george rose and ballin seems the only one with a lot of upside.dont get me wrong,almost all have been real good players and some still have a lot to offer(chock,stewart)but there is a real sameness about the side-a weary sort of look.
dont know much about the under20s forwards or qld cup and im definitely not calling for heaps of young guys to be thrown to the lions but maybe we need to direct our recruitment at some tearaway young backrowers.the backline seems to have penty of promise in the youth department.
lets face it,our pack wont be better next year as the miles on the clock build up.
i dont think we are quite gone yet this year iether.lyon and matai make a huge difference.people underestimate matais effect on our enthusiasm levels and go forward
but i think we do need to win next week as panthers will be real tough a week after and the slide will get out of hand if the bunnies beat us.
