Yes that’s what I’m confused about and pretty much all Souths members right now.

Easy to see why there is confusion.

Except they really aren't.

RTS is great, except he's now hampered because he has to carry such a heavy burden. So he rarely provides the game breaking ability he was capable of because he's too busy having to make so many tough carries every week.

Maumalo is super overrated. Gets hyped because he gets big metres, but he's slow, he's an average finisher. There's no slower turner on the wing in the comp. He should be in the forwards. He is not Manu, he never has been, he never will be. Fusitua was one of the top wings in the competition, then he got his big contract.

Probably the slowest back three in the comp.

The centres are fucking garbage. Hiku is the worst defensive centre in the competition (yes worse than Darius) and makes mistakes every week. On the rare week where he's involved in a couple of tries, you can bet that he's probably been responsible for a couple going the other way and fucked up at least one as well. Herbert is barely NRL quality, he wouldn't be sniffing a spot at most clubs.

Definitely the slowest group of backs in the comp.

The back row isn't quality. Harris is great, Katoa is a rookie, Tevaga gets overhyped by people in fantasy circles, but in the real world he is super small. Blair spends time at 13 and has been doing nothing but steal money from the club for a long time.

Nikorima is a decent ball running half WHEN HE RUNS THE BALL. Which doesn't happen enough. Literally one of the coaches made a bet with him on how many times he'd run to try to get him moving. He has got better, he's forming a good bond with Katoa.

Been paired up with Green who has been average most of the year. CHT is a work in progress, but him and Kodi on paper aren't a good combination because there's no navigator between them.

Then hooker is about as bad as it gets. The props are about as bad as it gets.

The good thing for the Warriors is next year they'll have LAM back, along with BMM. That makes the prop rotation better. Still won't have that top tier prop, but they're hard to come by.

They're also devoid of leadership and strong experience. The guys who have had success elsewhere, like Harris, aren't vocal. Even Roger, he's a lead by example character. The guys who are meant to be the veteran leaders fucking suck i.e Blair.

This isn't a top 8 level roster, and it isn't really close. They need a hooker, props, at least one good centre (Perham should get groomed to be one), potentially another half, some leadership, speed. They have so many shortcomings.

Only sharing here so I can brag if it comes off.
