Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3014727, member: 8770"] Bird was great at fullback, but obviously he is going to need time to adjust to that position again. I dont see dropping in Staggs for Bird as weakening us at all really, the issue is Jimmy, he just isnt fit, so i cant see us bringing in Bird to fullback at this stage. Personally, i'd have no concerns with Shibasaki at center for a while along with Kotoni and move Bird to fullback, Boyd to wing. If Roberts is out a while, i'd be looking at picking somebody up if possible. Even though SoS has only played limited minutes, i'd still put him in because the dynamic between Milf and Knik just isnt right. HE doesnt have to do anything special, just do a basic number 7 job. Milf can be the special player. Dearden has had another strong game today, so a bit like Fifita last year i think he could be playing sooner rather than later. Some guys you just need to get them in there and manage them week to week. A good coach will know how to do it. The hooker situation imo isnt anywhere near as bad as people make out. Macca for 20 mins, then Knik for 20 mins or so for a bit of spark. Its an easy fix and its worked before. I really dont get why people are thinking its going to be detrimental for Seibold to make a lot of changes to a team that isnt performing. Its not like he has anything to lose, in fact, he is more likely to get more leeway for a poor season if we are showing signs of developing our younger guys. The talent is in this squad, i feel right now the coach is as big an issue as the players. As i have said before, i think he has bottled some decisions with our back rowers, and i dont think his game plan is working. I'm not worried yet, but if we are still not doing much in 6 games time, i'll be very concerned. [/QUOTE]
