I’m so worried about the shape of our roster.

[sheet_ed]

Needs to make salary / playing room for Keagan Russell-Smith and Pezet.

Sorry to see him go as he has turned his life around, but the only (half) game he played he was run over by the oposition. At 28 and a half back he missed his oportunity.

The club also has big wraps on Stan Huen.

I’m so worried about the shape of our roster.

Been trending down for awhile. Made even worse with covid and the core parts of the forward pack getting old/leaving.

In days gone, we had our superstar spine, a strong but underrated pack, a number of young guns pushing for first grade and supplemented by a couple of journey men / outcasts.

Today we still have the superstar spine, but the pack has completely fallen apart, there is only one genuine youngster pushing for selection and the squad is now littered with journey men / outcasts.

I don’t know how we have landed where we have but I can’t see any quick fixes. It’s gonna take some time, and that’s even if the club appreciates the scale of the problem (which I am not convinced).

Not sure I agree with 'superstar spine'. Some serious question marks over at least 3/4 of the spine IMO.

Although I agree with you that they didn't play their best, the Storm sspine consists of the Australian Hooker, Australain number six and New Zealand Half . How much the knee injury affected Munster is something we'll never know and a hooker does their best work when they have a decent pack.

Plus, we have a Clive Churchill winning fullback who missed the whole year

I don’t take what comes out in glossy media propaganda pieces as being what the football department actually thinks. I reckon Craig, Frank and the coaching staff understand that the holes in the roster need to be fixed. Fixing them due to the thin talent pool that is available however…. is more complex.

[Lucas]

I have no serious concerns over Grant.

Hughes started the season poorly, ended the season poorly and gets injured a lot.

Munster saves his best footy for when he plays for QLD or when his contract is coming up for renewal.

Paps I've spoken about before.

Not ruling any of them out, not saying they are rubbish, but I am saying they're overrated.

Jack Campagnolo Hostplus halfback of the year for south Logan magpies and Italy has just signed with the Sunshine Coast falcons

[Mattpoet]

He's a good goal kicker too if I have the right guy

[sallymay]

Yeh that’s him
