Lack of depth?
A Pearce is our 5th best KP back, behind, AA Luke, AA Johno, The Fist & Scos. Yet he has shown in the last month that he'd be a starting 22 in just about every other team in the AwFL. yet those on here complain we have no depth!
my mind boggles.
as for our Fwd woes, IMHO Tabs was doing what was required in the dry, then a month of wet & slippery games has seen his inexperience exposed (he's not alone though in struggling to adapt to the conditions and I have to wonder why we are not training either at night or with the sprinklers on). he'll turn out ok.
Clarke has struggled to have an impact, as has Hannath.
I for one was very pleased to hear they are thinking of giving Griff a go as number 1 ruck and playing Sandi as the forward / backup ruck in the coming weeks as a way of giving Sandi a breather. think we all know it's too risky to rest Sandi by not playing him (Saints game comes to mind) but giving him 3-4 games as the forward / second ruck should keep him fresh for the rest of the year, and if it is close means he can still play the last 5-10 mins of the 4th in the ruck to get us over the line.
