I really don't want to see what happens when Sione targets that
midfield, though.

Put Marcus in the back 3 when we are defending. We often do that
anyway. Something needs to change anyway as our backs are really
not firing this season.

It's not Marcus that's the problem. JEv is a worse defender and
12 is hugely important defensive role.

We’ve also tried in vein to hope Northmore is a good 12, but he
will always, always be better at 13.

running the lines he does abs getting over the gain line, but
obviously we done. Our failure to change game plan really has
cost us creativity wise. If we can’t seemingly get anyone new
now, I’d look to see what else we can have. I’d even consider
Jarrod Evans at 12, he’s a good playmaker and could be a
different angle on things. Either that or Bradley

While I do agree with this, I think the club are aware of our
centre issues (we have been linked with 4 centres in the past
few months). You could argue that that is a season too late
(this season suffering as a result) but it could also be cap
related/or who was available for this season (or not). My guess
is each year you have to make a sacrifice somewhere due to cap
space. Maybe this season it was at 12 (with the hope LA would do
enough). Next year I expect us to address the 12 issue, but
potentially at the expense of another position (maybe Jibulu
going, we think we have enough at hooker).
One thing I will say, Andre or no Andre, we are butchering what
should be nailed on tries this season (if there is such a
thing). We are creating, execution leaves alot to be desired.
