Who wants to swap a decent player for a rubbish one

only the desperate clubs
Wakefield with Dagger and letting Hall go

Whilst not the best SL player, Dagger is definitely not rubbish. He would improve your squad.

Satae I feel is the opposite type of player Smith likes and we need. Our pack needs to be more mobile because at the minute they are being blown off the park.

Felt like he's been targeted a lot since he's been starting. His defence has been loose in the middle too.

It's another one of, if Smith thinks we can get a better value player in, thrn ill back him.

With lane fash Cator Brown we have plenty of mobile forwards. We need aggressive big forwards. Hence we are getting blown of the park

Fitness apart the main reason we are being blown away is our tackling technique is all wrong and weak with no aggression allowing too many offloads.
That should be an area the club should prioritise in training.
If you watched the Warrington game they were able to tackle us on most plays with two men when we couldnt hold them or stop the offload with three

Whilst Satae wouldnt be the first name to go for me he is not very mobile and often gets beat by more quicker players.

The reality is our pack isnt mobile enough and it takes our players an age to play the ball and remove themselves from a tackle when defending. Fitness will play a part but they is a reason we have never being troubled in getting these players signatures and why many teams dont have big boppers like Satae.

Since the six again rule speed really is a thing and we are neither fit or fast. That for me is our biggest undoing.

We are getting blown off the park because they are not fit enough, fast enough or mobile enough. Unfortunatly some of the players are either two big or not fast enough to achieve what we need.

We lose a good 80% of collissions and when teams throw the ball wide we just have holes all over the place because we are not fit enough to sustain a sliding defence. Our wingers arent big enough or good enough to get us on a role and ultimately we always end up boxed in and laboured efforts from Satae or Taylor carrying 2/3 players result in a slow PTB and the opposition defence being allowed to be set.

Its ok being able to carry 3 players on your back but if your resulting play the ball is so slow it just puts your team under preassure.
