Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 2926149, member: 2290"] I was very optimistic and defended Kniko at 7, and the purchase of Bird (I was excited by his inclusion though even then his price and fact we had far bigger holes to fill didn’t make sense to me) but I have to admit I was wrong on both. Kniko is just never going to be a good full time half back. He is a very talented player but he has the Blake Austin curse of his talent and physical attributes not really fitting into any clear position. So as a defender of Kniko I have to admit I was wrong. Bird is still very unfit and isn’t getting much good ball, but if he finds form he is a great centre. However, he had a lot of runs tonight where he go mosntered by the defence. He just does not have the physicality to play as a forward and I really don’t see him being a good lock based on what I’ve seen so far this year. So again, I think I was wrong. Lodge and TPJ are playing great for how little experience they have but it’s a real problem that they are expected to lead our pack at this stage of their careers. It doesn’t make sense. Milf showed that he can still be a great running 5/8th and his kicking game is improving. If he had a controlling half next to him he could still be very good. Look at how good Green has allowed Johnson to play. I would not miss Thaiday, Boyd, or Sims. They are all stinking. There are plenty of good forwards around and we have some good juniors but I have no idea where we are going to find a good fullback if Boyd retires, and I have even less idea of where we can find a half.
