Message: [QUOTE="Culhwch, post: 3150813, member: 1983"] Carrigan is just a good honest toiler, not overly flashy but just the type of guy you need in the middle. Reminds me of Corey Parker, but more advanced at the same age. Hopefully he can develop an offload like CP13 did later in his career. Can't think of a better fit at captain in the current squad, and I hope he's a Bronco for life. Haas is no doubt a phenomenon, but I do wish sometimes he'd stamp his authority on a game more. In the opposition twenty in particular he often doesn't seem to get involved, when he should be hitting the ball hard off short passes back towards the posts. This of course is partially a halves and hooker problem as well. Dearden looked settled at seven, and showed he should have been there a lot sooner. I hadn't wanted to throw him in amid the slump in case it damaged his development, but I think was wrong. I thought he could have gotten more involved, but that will come. I don't think Croft is a long term answer at six, although with the right coach and a directive to not overplay his hand and be more of a running five-eighth he might be okay. I'd be shopping for a veteran partner for Deaden as soon as possible, though. I wish we saw that Flegler every week, but I won't hold my breath. TPJ is so dumb it hurts. The rest of the pack was middling to poor. Boyd I thought showed some spirit - that early cover tackle was vintage - but he also did some stupid shit. I feel like he is trying harder though the last couple of weeks. Perhaps he's seen the end rapidly approaching and decided he doesn't want his lasting legacy to be of a guy throwing himself out of the way of contact. Staggs adds so much to that backline, but I'm always afraid he's a moment away from doing something dumb and getting binned or suspended. Not on aTPJ level, mind. Coates was quiet, but fine. Farnworth is a hard worker and willing, but I don't know if he's necessarily a special talent. You need guys like him though as well. Not sure what the answer at fullback is, but it sure isn't Milford. I wouldn't be averse to sticking with Niu in the short term, but I'd be looking for options beyond him for sure. [/QUOTE]
