Steve Price's blind spot ? : Sat Jun 29, 2019 11:10 am
Looking at the forwards that give us decent go forward with ball in hand I would say we only have Hill and Cooper. BMM and Akuaola are short period impact players, Jason Clark may well do a lot of tackling but he makes little ground with the ball. For what we must be paying him that seems like an expensive indulgence. Lama Tasi has little impact whilst Matt Davis can make decent ground, but in the same way a HB would make sniping runs. So when we look at our ability to front up and make consistent 10m plus yardage over a 40 minute period we only have Hill and Cooper.Why then do we not recruit in the forwards and release an impact player ? I can't understand Price's thinking on this. We are already short of a strike forward of the bench, but what would he do if Hill had a lengthy injury ?
