He hasn't played much NRL the last few years either, not much footy at all really, that's also a factor
Even when you think of fitter and younger players who take 12 months out of the game they come back and can seriously struggle and it can take years to re-establish themselves assuming they can hang around that is
He's always played a certain game, which worked pretty well for a while. But how many edge forwards can we have? Teig, Nikora, Wade, Talakai plays like one (and probably should be one)... then people suggest we should get MattersonHe stifles that whole side.. what’s worked for us this year is playing fast and direct then hitting holes or passing out the back.
Wade destroys all of that
Yeh I think the last game showed how much we missed BHU. We need the next crop of middles to focus on (amd eventual 5/8 once Moylan finishes)He's always played a certain game, which worked pretty well for a while. But how many edge forwards can we have?

I guess Fitz needs to first decide if Talakai will be our regular Centre beyond 2022 or if he wants him in the 2nd row.He's always played a certain game, which worked pretty well for a while.

If you play Wade as a 13, where do you play McInnes?Unlike everyone else, I'm not convinced Wade playing like a ball playing lock can't work. Once Kennedy is back Wade will have another game under his belt, so it will be interesting to see how he goes with our regular spine.
McInnes was another JMo signing.If you play Wade as a 13, where do you play McInnes?
13 for the other 50 minutesIf you play Wade as a 13, where do you play McInnes?
I assume this is a specific criticism of McInnes?McInnes was another JMo signing.
4 years?
Ffs what was he thinking.
Yep. I would have McInnes coming on after 25 and replacing Wade. Wade can then cover other forwards in second half as required.13 for the other 50 minutes
yes, it is a specific criticism of McInnes and JMo.I assume this is a specific criticism of McInnes?
Because Finucane is also signed for 4 years and is three years older.
Mooney on board for both signings I believe
I think we definitely needed him, it's easy to forget how terrible our leadership was last year and the year before. With blokes like McInnes it's not just what he brings on the field, it's the standard he sets off it which lifts everyone else. Gal mentioned watching McInnes and Finucane train is scary.yes, it is a specific criticism of McInnes and JMo.
Not concerned about McInnes age, just skill/size/need.
I don't think JMo signed Finucane.

Not everyone else mate. I've been banging that drum since before Bomber got sacked.Unlike everyone else, I'm not convinced Wade playing like a ball playing lock can't work.

I dont rate McInnes in any position.So you just don't like McInnes (as a lock?) is what you're saying?
From a 'need' perspective he at that stage became our best 13 and second best 9 so I'm not really sure how you can question that he filled a need.
If anything Dale filled less of a need and also was contracted for 4 years, but yes a different coach signed him.
