Sheens thinks that Dagger does not have the physique to defend his line against big Super League players. Hence his disparaging description of him as the stick.
He does say Dagger is a real talent who he is expecting great things from in the next 2 years. He simply thinks he needs to bulk up first. Had we kept Dagger and left Hall at Leigh I don't think there would have been a mass protest but the coach thought differently and Hall is the more versatile & experienced.
Hall & Crooks are talented players who have shown flaws at Super league level in the past. Thing is we have Shaw, Minns & Heffernan gone for the season and Justin Carney in a recurring sequence of play one miss five.
Deadline day arrives and it's go with what we have or bring in Hall & Crooks. Even then we had to lose 3 players to stay under the cap. Both players are keen to earn contracts for next year so let's see what they can do.
I'd rather have Greg Inglis but with these two plus Todd Carney we have done about as well as we could have done with very little salary cap to play with.
