I would say benny mac definitely fits the ball carrying bill. Most efficicient meter eating forward in the comp last year
Do you have a reference for that? I'm trying to get my hands on some new databases.

Lots of players off contract: Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, Scott Fardy, Jesse Mogg, David Pocock. Don't have time to look into anyone else, but would wager a handful of others.

So no reference then?what a bizarre post
I am actually quietly optimistic about this year - my gripe in the past has been our 10 and general imagination of attack - but last year that started to change and the confidence they showed in attack stepped up.
From my perspective Sias improved substantially, and the understanding between Sias, Godwin and Rasolea really took a step up before injury curtailed the combination. However the positive was that the backups got some much needed game time, and I hope that the difference when injury occurs is not as significant.
I also think Ben Darwin is onto something with his cohesian index (TWI), and this will be the 3rd year that they have a consistent 9-13, if not more players.
They demonstrated last year that they were a hard working side that played for each other - and I think that will get even better as they have built on the foundation again - not replaced it with a shiny new player(s) that undermines that hard work.

We'll need some early wins though, otherwise the risk of backsliding to old failings is pretty high.
Yep agree. One odd concern for me is that we seemed to do significantly better with Hayward at fullback. I don't know if it was my perception but our winning percentage seemed to be better. (I haven't done the stats though).
DHP really stepped up towards the latter half of last year though, so I am hoping some consistent game time there and he covers that no problem. otherwise I guess Morahan. Just not sold on either kicking option..
.however starting the season against the Premiers, Fortress Suncorp and a much improved Hurricanes does not bode well!
Moore re-signed for two more years....
Any news from the trial? Who looked good, who didn't
