Key players : Wed Jan 05, 2022 8:33 am
In truth all players are key on the day but players who should they have a great season will really make us tick.TJ, you could include a number of back but this lad is the ace card in a decent back line. If fit he’s a 20+ try a season player. However what really counts is he makes many of those tries himself, impossible angles and breaks from nothing, he’s a match winner.
Lino, we know what Miller can do and what Gaskell has done for others. Lino though was an unknown. Slow at first but towards the end of the season he really began to shine. I’m hoping there is so much more to come.
Dave, the opposition fear him because he plays without fear and that infects his team mates in a good way. He’s also a very good player.
Pitts, over the last two seasons this player has transformed. Always a good player he is now a top pro. If Dave leads with charisma then Pitts leads by example. His effort is superb but he has also reached a very high level of technicality. The fans will always idolise Fifita and rightly so but for me Pitts may well be the real star.
Hood, there is no doubt that we’ve been lacking in this position for a while. Woody got old, the other Wood didn’t seem to fit. Hood only needs to be competent to make a difference, if he fits in he will make a difference.
Those are my key men.
