gaining a good lead and letting it slip.....the defence round our own 20 meter area is poor......and oh for a winger in the darren albert mode....

I think a winger is the least of our worries. Props, halfback and centre needed before a winger.

We've got foster, Meli, makinson, Gardner all wingers.

and when did you see any of that lot make runs like ryan hall...scott donald...pat richard's..and darren albert.
foster's only there for his goalkicking. (and posing)

Ah... the good old "sign the non-existent speedy winger to fix all ills" argument... Head-palm time...

Strangely enough, I seem to recall this sort of situation from the early '70's
On paper we had the biggest mobile pack of any team, and yet they got the nicname of the "easy six", but all that was ever said was that we needed fast backs.
What we need, is this "pack" to realise that they are as good if not the best and therefore better than any other forwards, then maybe the rest will follow ..IMO..

Oh and maybe a sub 10sec winger might not go amiss

Yep it was definately the lack of a winger that cost us the match at Hull.

I think our defence was more to Blame and more important to sort than try to find a winger to run 80 meters.

Unless we sort our pack and halfbacks out then our wingers will be lucky to touch the ball.

At the moment we are very much a team of individuals and lack any focal direction, communication, leadership etc. Most of the games I,ve seen so far I have not seen any link from the forwards to the backs (vice versa) which means our support play and running off the ball is way below standard, its as though they are still in pre season and doesn,t start until the big teams come into play.
Well our next game will prove that against the catalans, they know they in a game that they can very easy lose, its up to Royce now to get into there heads and come up with better game plans.

You cant argue with scoring 36 points, thats great against any side.
Shipping 36 against any side is inexcusable for a team like ours, and this must be our focus

you mean with the penalty goal?
that doesnt prove poser foster is a good winger.
like i said earlier..he's only there for his kicking..(not to mention thr 4 he missed)
