I could be wrong, but I didn't think Ramien was that fast? I agree with needing speed on the flanks though.. but I think there is more pressing issues than who the wingers are atm.

Also I don't think our problems will be fixed changing a back or two. It's an attitude issue imo . We just don't seem to want it enough

spot on. if we keep coughing up the ball like we do, and conceeding penalties wouldnt matter is we had a star backline, we still get pumped

Want this bloke to step up this year and make a play for that 11 jersey if Lewis decides to retire.

Defence needs a lot of work and his catching/passing etc but believe he could be a really good player in the next 12-24 months

He has never been a ball player but he had a decent offload in him on the Q Cup.

Every time he has played more than a 10 minute stint he’s been extremely valuable to us on the field.
He's been good at times but i reckon that's an exaggeration mate. I reckon he's one of those guys that will never find a regular position in the starting 13 but makes a decent bench player. Utility I guess.

Certainly handy to have around & hopefully he can step it up again this year, I can see our bench forwards needing to spend a little more time out there this year.

And I know it's early days but our new bench forward options seem like they are good younger upgrades, replacing our ageing crop (whilst useful or great in their day).
I thought our new crop, Sorenson, Ava, Uele and Dillion all had pretty good hit outs in the trial game. Time will tell I guess.

i think he has gone backwards

hasnt kicked on the way i thought he would

id take sorenson over this guy 10 times over

Agreed. The guy cannot run and angle! He’s a jinking, stuttering type runner and opposition defences pick him off easily . Give me a line runner anyday!

I don't see him amounting to much more than a solid back up choice who will float on and off our bench. The backrower/lock i was most gutted about losing was frizzel. What a machine he has turned into.
