Not a major coup by any means, good young player who will provide good balance alongside Miller. More of a running half and can kick. Horne will also provide useful experience.

Glad to see us going with youth rather than signing a Leon Pryce.

Although defence is important, the three halfbacks with the most missed tackles last year (also in the top 10 in SL) were Chase, Dobson and Brough.

I'm more concerned with what they can do with the ball, which is our main area of concern.

In the last two years individually and as a team our defence has improved massively so hopefully under these coaches Miller and Rankin will improve.

Dobson can't tackle to save his life, but that's not a halfbacks forte. Briers neither.

Our props have no kicking game which is a concern

I never understand the argument.

half backs are targeted in defence to tire them out so it limits their attack, just has the quick smaller player targets running at the bigger player when they are tired, its just part of the game
