Not really its not the forwards that win you these games its the backs - ours are good enough to get the job done.

Houma will need to make like 3 or 4 runs a game just needs to make them count and Wado will be good he has a great long ball which is handy in these games where you want to spread it asap.

Taga is a HUGE threat in nines as we saw last year.... Wade and Lewis isn't a huge difference but Lewis would be better IMO.

The forwards dont win you games... but big fat ones lose you games.

Taga is a loss but only if it was angry Taga that was travelling over not lazy taga.

taga was good in the 9's last year, shame he couldn't bring that into the regular season. He is the type of forward that is suited to the nines if he brought his A game, but like you said, laziness is his biggest weekness

A massive unit could be a defensive liability. Would have given boogs a run

Yeah I was excited seeing Taga play like he did but never really bought it back over with him.
