I would have given either Luke Pickerd or Isaac Gordon a go at fullback. Matty Wright is a good solid player, but we really need a nippy little guy in the back line who will be there to back up the guy who breaks the line. This is where Gards was so good. We still have the third lowest points scored in the comp, and I think a more attacking option would have been better. The sharks have always looked good in defence at the start of the last few seasons, but frustrations of not being able to get across the try line enough can cause all sorts of problems including lots of dropped ball and defence lapses.
