Something seems a little off with Olam of late, anyone else think this?

Yes and no, maybe it's injury that's niggling him but overall I think he's been far more reliable than ever. He's critical for us without JAC.

I thought he struggled the first few weeks but has been phenomenal since

I think he has been mostly good. When he has soft, limp hit-ups on occasion it really stands out simply because of what we have come to expect from his runs.

Our sets can sometimes hinge on whether or not he has a really tough run to get us going.

Yes, exactly. I think this is what I notice.

So you've moved on Lewis, Johns, Eisenhuth, Ieremia, Seve, Nikorima, Garlick, Jennings. That's a lot to cut on top of Jesse, Kenny, Felise and Brandon.

I'd be happy to give one more year to Lewis, Eisenhuth and Garlick. Edge forwards will be an issue unless Howarth suddenly emerges as I feel Sims will probably play more in the middle for us. I'd keep Ieremia, Nikorima and Jennings on minimum wage as depth too.

It's a shame Wade Graham looks like his injured body has caught up to him because he'd be such a good signing for next years team otherwise. We could really really use a leader.

How would we have the money to accomodate a player like haas?

Only way possible would be if we let Munster go, Bellamy has a history of developing 5/8’s though so.

Can you just imagine Welch, NAS, Tui & Haas as a prop rotation though!

Lol tempting. I think we need to target an edge forward instead though. Nikora or Crichton?

Maybe not the cap room this year, but next for sure, we’ll have wads of it with a couple of Bromwiches and a kaufusi gone. So, we could theoretically park him like Pangai Jnr was at Penruff and have him in 23.
