1. Hannan isn't up to the standard and while we don't have the depth and he is an option for selection, we'd be better served taking a pint on another squad member with a developmental view.

2. We're looking a bit too workmanlike in the backline with Gardy/O'Brien/JOD and no JJ to offset things.

3. In a poor performance, there were still opportunities to bank 4 points and we didn't get it done. Says to me the its more likely than not that the team isn't at the competitive level required to win a final.
