Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3152586, member: 1992"] Okay Don, I have read through your opener and starting with your coach, Holbrook. I read up on him a while ago and was keen to see what sort of approach he would take. He has a good (if non nrl) pedigree and certainly coached plenty of ex nrl players. I thought exactly the same as you described, he started by putting players on the field with zero expectations but a keen interest in how they would perform. Like you said, with a view to see who wouldn't be required going forward. Then he moved a few pieces around for more testing. His first year is all about this I reckon. Your props: While you don't have a Haas this year or going forward you don't really need one. You need a pack that at least cancels out the opposition. I think you have that for 21. Solid but not spectacular. I do like Joliffe. I admit I don't know much about a few of them other than they are steady. I might get some details about them later. Second row: yep, again I think you're on the money in saying it needed work and with the new guys I think it will be an issue that's addressed. Lock and hooker: another area that needs attention but I'm certain Holbrook can see that too. I see you said that Ese'ese will fill the 13 and I think that's a very solid solution. I imagine you'll need to add to your depth in that position. Hooker? It's an area needing urgent attention but again, Holbrook will be all over that. I see 2022 being your best year for a long time. Holbrook will have assembled a squad of his own choosing by then. I was wondering about Taylor. How did Holbrook get him back enjoying football? I still rate Taylor and think he could really kick on under Holbrook. I didn't believe Taylor was the problem at the Tits, he just didn't have the team a halfback needs, he was weighed down by expectation and I think the spotlight and pressure crushed him. He's really just a very young guy and very very few can survive unrealistic expectations and keep a healthy state of mind. I quite like the way that Fogarty has been improving and you never know, you might have enough with what you've already got on your books. There's a couple of other lesser lights I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on. [/QUOTE]
