I can’t believe how bad our backs are

Setu Tu/Sloan/Gutho/Holmes are all playing at a reserve grade level
Its rly our issue, the 1-5 is diabolical and we basically dont have a backup ctr if we want to move Holmes to wing.. especially while Suli is out..

Gutho I assume would have preferred left ctr but took one for the team here.. he hasnt even trained there.. but the faster outside backs are a real problem for him for sure.. still think maybe he could play 6 and Atko ctr maybe.. or Atko fullback.. but feels like were shuffling deck chairs a bit.. and I did say before this game we need to stick with whatever combination we trained the last 2 weeks with.. problem is then we had multiple injuries..

Ive been wanting to give Tu more opportunity cause were stuck with him for 2027, but I think there is something not up to 1st grade between the ears.. its not ability.. its decision making.. but its not ok.. and my god they take advantage today.. not blaming all of the tries on him though.. make shift gutho ctr inside him is not ideal, but its the wrong call far too often.

feagai injured.. means wither CT or Holmes left wing, but then dunno who left ctr is.. Atkinson could play anywhere 1-6.. but I dunno what we do now.. cant just keep shuffling them every week..
