Message: [QUOTE="Eta Carinae, post: 2989879, member: 9964"] All these variations look very strong. A few concerns. Macca seems to be the only option at No.9. We all know his running game is non existent which could be a concern but now McGuire is gone and maybe Glenn as well, maybe a guy in middle making 40~50 tackles a game will be precisely what is needed. That that end, it didn't really concern me until THAT last game. These young forwards all seem to have a very good attacking game but who will take McGuires place as the guy who perhaps doesn't offer much in attack but who doesn't stop working? The highly touted forwards went missing in the THAT last game. Maybe Boyd can bounce back after being very poor last year. I read that apparently he was injured last year. I don't recall it. I recall a problem with his hammy from the year before but if an entire off season isn't enough time to repair his hamstring, he should retire. And he is still under contract for 3 more years! That was a nice piece of charity from Bennett to Boyd. I only looked at the messages above this so I'm sure the problem with the lack of a playmaker has been brought up. Nikorima and Milford both seem to be excellent running 5/8s but more often than not, semi-useless when in the same team. Bird. The lowest estimate of his salary is around 850k a season. What is he good for? An interchange utility on 850k + a season? A lock? Is he big enough? Center? Since extensively using his free Maccas card + getting older, I very much doubt he is fast enough or agile enough or has good enough footwork. I was one of the most vocal is calling for Bennett not to be re-signed or even sacked. I still feel I was right but I think given salary cap constraints and the big money contracts of Boyd and Bird among others, next year will be the best chance before the squad goes downhill for 2 or 3 seasons from 2020.
