Am i the only one who thinks this would be a bit ridiculous? I just dont see this guy as physically big enough, a strong enough defender or having enough mongrel to play in the forwards. Its different when ur outwide and you run one on one with someone, but can anyone honestly say this guys good enough to run at 3 or 4 forwards taking a hitup? He will get abolished. And If anyones suggesting a ball playing forward then I dont see that as an option considering we are a side already who plays with 4 ball players in 1, 6,7 and 9.
The other thing about our forward pack, is it is weak. It will be weaker next year too with the probably losses of Payne, Galea, Halatau and Skandallis. While some of those guys werent great, you cant just lose 4 forwards and not replace them.
Our current pack and next years pack has little impact, none of our backrowers are dynamic like other clubs (Ellis is in defence but not attack)…. Galloway is the only good metres eater while Ellis and Skandallis are decent. The problem is when Galloway goes off we never have any real metres in us. So why would we want to throw in another guy like Ayshford I feel, who is just another forward with no metres in him? .
Just my thoughts
