I pray we don't ever play a single game for the rest of the season without Tom. Holy Gawd we are genuinely a shell of a team without him. I really don't understand what it is. It's like we throw away our whole style of playing footy. It isn't the normal side-to-side expansive footy, that rolls through the middle and moves the opposition pack. It's boring predictable one out footy with a lot of players running like headless chooks and just passing to rather Suli or Smole relying on one of them to make a break for us. It really is concerning, it also might be the fact we still don't have a necessary back up fullback.
Garrick is just not it as a fullback, gotta accept it. He had that one amazing game at cowboys, but in truth he is not built for that role. He's an elite winger, keep him there and stop reshuffling the backline just for Tom being out. I still believe Walker should've been at 1, would've done a better job tonight. Played great from his bench position as usual. Just a bit more built for it, with his involvement, passing and running game. Like deadset, maybe coz I'm used to Tom being everywhere on the field as a FB, Garrick was legit MIA in attack. Except for when he brought back the kick returns. That back up fullback position really has to get sorted for next year, but for now, let's just pray we see Tom every game now for the rest of the season.
