Message: [QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 3204922, member: 8274"] 1. Isaako 2. Arthars 3. Copley 4. Farnworth 5. Coates 6. Milford 7. Dearden 8. Lodge (c) 9. Turpin 10. Haas 11. Glenn 12. TPJ 13. Carrigan 14. Niu/Kennar/McC 15. Oates 16. Flegler 17. Asiata This is what I would be rolling with Round 1 if I were Kev. Clearly our backline is a huge concern, defensively in particular. Isaako at fullback isn't ideal either but we have little choice. Considering how weak we are in the 1 thru 5, I would be considering carrying a spare back on the bench to keep our options open if someone is proving too ineffective to put up with. I guess Oates can fill that role as well but personally I wouldn't be putting him within a kilometer of the wing spot from this point onward. He sinks or swims at second row. That being said, there is absolutely zero reason why this pack can't match it with the very best in the comp, but we were saying that last off season as well and we all know how that turned out. People are sure to raise their eyebrows at the C next to Lodge, but at this point we may as well wing it with the captaincy. I don't believe Glenn is up to the job judging by last season and 2021 is undoubtedly his last year with us anyway, Carrigan is too young and needs to develop his game without extra pressure and Milford is definitely not leadership material. That leaves Lodge, who while he clearly isn't the most ideal option in terms of off field criticism (**** them anyway), he is our only feasible option left if you rule out the others mentioned.
