To be honest, maybe it's just me but even in the first 8 weeks, although winning I did not think the Broncos were playing all that great. There were exciting patches but overall I thought we were nothing special.
I think Hodges should stay where is and Hoffman at fullback. If we move Hodges to fullback, we have no attacking width.
What we do with Hunt? Don't really care. Depends on what Henjak wants to do, plan for next season? Or try and salvage this one. Maybe move Hunt into the backrow for a bit of...
Alonso off to Madrid. If it was for the 30m pounds that Benitez had asked then I applaud him sticking by what he wanted.
However, I think we need to move quickly for a replacement or at least an alternative. Big loss for Liverpool he was the cogs in our well oiled machine :)
Baggers? Noone here bagged Hodges. What we said was until he performs at his peak for an extended period of time I'm not gonna whack him off. (Unlike some people here)
I don't think we need a cleanout so much as we need to get the most out of the players we have. Let's be honest- we have an extremely talented bunch of guys in our squad. Lockyer, Wallace, Hodges, Hunt, Hoffman, Setu, T'eo (was ripping it up for Tigers before Brisbane), Parker, Thaiday, Clinton...
Strong rumours about that Alonso is off to RM for cash + Sneijder. Big loss, but if Alonso wants to be gone I think Sneijder plus if we can land Silva with the cash it will be good business.
I'd name Michaels with an extended bench- then drop Michaels prior to game. Have the Titties work on their right side attack all week- then put in a solid defender there. Carol on Defense perhaps?
