Lodge and DZW and Walsh (minimal nrl experience) have only really been included recently. Our forward pack is weak!!! Yes, Harris is great and Addin Fonua-Blake is good but most of the other teams have better forwards. Jazz has heart but he is too excitable and overplays his hand. Why do coaches always prefer him on the bench!! Next year we will have a better rotation of props with Pene but there are question marks about the rest of the forward pack and including hooker (except Harris). You may think they are a team of superstars but I differ on this. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck will leave a big gap, although he has been used poorly this season. Johnson will fix our game management to an extent but he is also a weak defender.
When we trot out the below full-strength pack, who are these 'most of the other teams' who have better forwards?
8 - Addin Fonua-Blake
9 - Egan
10 - Lodge
11 - Katoa
12 - Ben Murdoch-Masila // Sironen // Curran
13 - Harris
Outside of the top, top guys like Panthers and Storm I think that's competitive. Sometimes I swear we could roll out Cam Smith, Petero, Price, Campion, Ali and Menzies all in their prime and we'd still have people on here saying we're underpowered.
