Message: [QUOTE="Rally Towel, post: 2789227, member: 8569"] I really think Moose is the likely successor. Don't agree it necessarily weakens our middle as some think. As McGuire has pointed out he's still playing that middle forward role. Irrespective of who fills the spot at lock, we are going to be weaker through the loss of Parker. Especially given that neither Moose nor Blair are line bending meatwalls. Whoever slots into starting prop or lock has to be ready to bring it, and getting our rotation is crucial. Loss of Josh Wallace is going to be telling here also. Based on what we've seen so far, I reckon Ese'ese to start as he's probably the most solid /reliable option. Despite limited opportunity he gets through some good work and is ok as far as errors and penalties go. Dodds and TPJ are our bench options, with Dodds coming on first while we're still in the grind, then TPJ for impact at the back end of the half. Would be good if we could play him out wide but unfortunately we don't have that luxury. Glenn can stay on the bench and sub on when Moose needs a breather, he's been excellent in that role. He can always stay on when Moose subs back in at prop if required. This assumes neither Arrow nor Ofa kills it in pre season, in which case they could potentially replace Dodds and Ese'ese. I feel like TPJ probably provides the biggest point of difference so he's the most necessary inclusion. [/QUOTE]
