Message: [QUOTE="Manofoneway, post: 3656757, member: 15527"] I would only be adding to our depth this year. Riki has proven to be great in the individual effort areas of the game and also a great defender. Piakura has been very ordinary in Defence but I think that even if we can find a "TC Robati" style Qcup player to at least put some pressure on him he might lift his game. I just think we all need to have some confidence that the crew we have can turn this around. Ultimately I reckon they can, If you re-watch the storm prelim final from last year you can see these guys all have what it takes to perform at that high level. Our Defence last year didn't come from nowhere, we were the 2nd best defensive team in the comp in 2023. Lets not forget in the years prior we were conceding 50-60 points and although it appears we are heading that way again, the current group have proven that they can turn it around and be up there with the best Defensively. It all starts with Mam, Piakura, Mariner and a lesser extent Walsh. I'd be looking at some position switches in the off season. Riki for Piakura switching sides, Mariner back on the wing either Arthars or Cobbo duking it out for the #4 Jersey. Staggs cops shit for being a bad defender but he makes the most solo effort tackles, laterally and front on. Some of his Defensive reads are great tbh. Also Reynos bicep will probably allow him to make a tackle or two next season as well which is probably why Staggs looks a bit ordinary. I don't think we should be looking to buy our way out of this one and replace what is a young, almost premiership winning side. [/QUOTE]
