Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 3007029, member: 2221"] Exactly right. I will give the team time to absorb the new tactics and plans from the coach, and I've already seen a few signs in the trials and this game. But I don't think we can be a real contender without organisation and leadership. Boyd isn't leading by example, and hasn't for quite a while. Besides, we need more spark and individual brilliance both in defense and attack from our fullback. I'm not sure he can emulate his 2010 and 2016 seasons again, and if he doesn't he's simply a bottom 8 fullback. I wish we had flogged him off to the Cowboys instead of Kahu, but I hope I am not proven right next week... Kodi isn't a halfback, and is not only not delivering on what we need, he's dragging Milford down to doing what he's also not suited for but is forced into, because he's a "million dollars player". Give him an Adam Reynolds type of halves partner and watch him flourish again to great heights! We have enough players capable of fulfilling that role under contract imo, starting with SOS until one of the more talented youngsters demonstrates enough starch in ISC to be thrown into the cutthroat world that is the NRL. FTR, I don't think we'll get much more from Isaako at fullback. I'd prefer Bird there, although my first choice would still be Kodi. We also need more spark from our hooker. While I don't subscribe to the witch hunt against Macca, I think he needs a looming shadow on the bench, not only to push him to be at his best, but to give him a break and allow him to be more explosive and an attacking threat than just a tackle machine. The above three are the players I won't give as much time to as others. I will still wait until they at least get the chance to prove me wrong, but I do believe Seibold may have to make tough decisions about one or two of them rather sooner than later. Sure, although I do not understand why you'd want to only point to the exception to what you know has been the rule for the last 18 months, if not to detract from the rest of the post. [/QUOTE]
