taylor adams is a very good player.

anyway, VOSS doing anything?

The issue with Hobbs isn’t his kicking it’s his defensive work rate away from the contest and the fact that we carry too many others that already have that same issue.

He’s going to be a valuable player for us.

in the long run I think Hobbs setterfield Caldwell Merrett tsatas will prove to be a much better balance than parish Shiel Merrett Caldwell stringer

Drizling, slippery now. 100% about intent and the basics. Pretty even currently 21 to 20 our way

Agreed, setterfield and hobbs have far more defense to their game than parish and stringer

66

So ?
No one is arguing that.

Would you be happy if Hobbs’ kicking skills mirror that of Adams ?
The answer is NO

If the rest of his game was like Adams, yeah.

He has other strengths. Of course you would hope that his kicking improves and I’m sure it will.

Im happy with Taylor Adams defensive actions, with better ball use.
Adams is a ball butcher of the highest order.

bar hobbs and tsatas (hopefully) we need better ootions through there than that. we need elite talent. Merrett will probably be at half back by the time we’re any good

It’s true, we’re going to waste the last 5 years of Merrett’s career doing the rebuild that should have happened in his first 5 years. Ffs

Not sure I agree. Or perhaps to put it better, he arrived with a willingness to cover ground defensively…

Sutton is an angry player but giving away silly frees.

You just have to set him up like wines. Who also has diabolical foot skills. But we don’t have rozee and butters, drew etc to run around like mad pelicans to free themselves up for wines to give crisp handballs to
