To compete for the 2019 premiership we'll need a desperate change

I think to level it up we need the following players to get injured/suspended/arrested/etc
Storm - C Smith
Chooks - Tedesco
Souths - S Burgess or Cook
Raiders - Papali or Hodges

(None required from Parra, they operate on a lower level quite naturally already)

that would be Hodgson from the Faders no?

I had to look him up

Now you know!

Robert Finch (Brett’s dad) and Graham Quinn, the Saints’ centre pairing in their ‘77 and ‘79 premiership teams, were cut from similar cloth.

Hopoate in to fullback

Would have been nice, and would have been the case had he not been injured before a ball had been kicked. Next year though - look out.

I agree in 1 factor 100%
Dylan Walker needs to step up big time.
Catch and pass generically has shifted big time with the loss of Tom T.
He needs to support far more in the middle and even play some old school shifts outside DCE on the right , rather than just hang to the left side of the ruck and play as a ball distributor.
This is Walkers chance to be that next level player he has the potential to be.

I agree - after a promising start in his second stint at 5/8th Walker's kind of fallen into a bit of a predictable rut.

He needs to go for a run early in the game so the opposition are in 2 minds as to what he's going to do every time he receives the ball after that.
