Feagai is shit we should be aiming higher anyway. Sami can play centre, but we really need to recruit 2 good centres. I think Fale could do something at centre if he could stay on the field

we are 6 players short still in my opinion
Need 2 fast outside backs, a halfback a good experienced 2nd rower, hooker and another prop.
If Holmes is still here next year, he may end up on the wing
A halfback? Maybe but how fast our juniors are hung out to dry while the likes of 31 year-old Clint Gutherson and Shonkies mid-20s reserve grader Dan Atkinson are given every chance and then half a dozen more chances on top makes my head spin constantly.

I can't even remember who they were but not only in the forum, in PMs I was given a baking for saying, no, no Gutho should be the catchphrase for the day when it become public Flanno wanted to sign him. Where are all these clowns now telling me what an idiot I am!?

Reed needs to be given every chance with a decent chorus around him.

Yes a half back, Reed isnt ready, he is physically not ready and needs to spend time in KOE cup, im not hanging out to dry, the kid isn't ready its simple.

Holmes should be on the wing next week otherwise nsw cup
he may be injured anyway, but man with holmes, fale, suli, feagai all likely out.. its gonna be last man standing.. guys like Lawson and Buchanan into the mix.. Tu had a shocker but there may not be a better option.. and u can be sure sides are just going to run at him all day after seeing how today went down.. Newcastle almost taking the pi$$, nothing all set then just throw any backline movement to their left and they score.

He's not ready right now in this team I agree. Put him in the today's Newcastle team with Ponga against out superstars, Gutho and Holmes on the edges and I'd bet he'd be very ready.

But anyway, lets spend a mil a year on an import for 5 years with the goal of making Reed ready by the time he's 26. Dragons footy! Ben Hunt might be available.

See you are talking about one facet of the game as in attack, watch how many times in the 2 games he has played he has got bumped off in defence, its because he is physically not ready, who said to spend $1m/5year contract on a halfback?
