Cobbo back to wing
An older, experienced player at second row who is defensively sound - Gos I guess, maybe Hetherington
Piakura off the bench
Mam to return through Q cup first
Yeah Paix has always been a decent prospect. He has mostly looked a level above anytime he’s played cup.
Hard to avoid feeling he was somewhat unfairly treated under the last regime
Glad to see the old boys aren’t as petty as a certain loud minority made them seem.
Also glad to hear that they’ve identified first contact as an issue, I know many here were screaming about that and line speed for a while now
I mean he does address two major aspects, our team’s average experience and football IQ just went back up. We’re now back at Capewell era levels.
I don’t think he’ll be particularly transformative alone though. I am more just excited by the spectacle of it.
Outside of injuries I don’t think he’ll be our starting 9 for long, and he wouldn’t be my pick out of him, Paix, and Smoothey but i don’t think there’s much in it.
