Couldn't agree more

 

I'd be so incredibly positive about 2014 for the pandas had we have held on to Masoe, Coote and Walsh. Given we've lost them for Kite, Soward and Wallace I'm a bit reluctant to get my hopes too high.

Kite strikes me as a good club man which seems to be something Gould is really pushing for, he also still seems to have a bit left in the tank. Hoping Wallace will find something once he gets back to Penrith, he never wanted to leave iirc. Really my main problem is Soward, I'm sure we would've paid overs for him bit and I can't see him fixing any of Walsh's short comings in the halves, reckon he's a step backwards.

 

Have liked the look of Kev at the back for Fiji in the cup though from what I've seen though, will be a handy pick up hopefully. Will let Moylan go into the halves as well if Wal and Soward fail.

 

In an ideal world I'd've kept coote and Walsh, they never really got a proper crack together in the halves and I thought there was real potential there. I'm not as against the Wallace/coote switch as they're very different players, so at least there could be some tactical move at play, they're also both local juniors which holds some sway with me.

As for the Soward/Walsh swap it strikes me as totally unnecessary, Soward will command a bigger pay cheque and bring a similar style to that off Walsh in the way of a kick heavy game and a reluctance to run. I actually think Walsh has superior footwork to Soward with the ball in hand, especially at forwards in the middle of field. I also think Walsh has had it a bit tough with Penrith sides playing around him, he seemed to find a bit of confidence at the back end of last season and could've really flourished with the squad improvements in 2014.


Oh and I also don't like Soward.
