Yep agree need a centre square mid with genuine speed. I reckon we need another gun winger too.
I’d push Weddle up on the opposite wing of Massimo, with Barrass and Battle coming in down back.
Obviously he has the athletic requirements to play anywhere really.
Pushing back as the defensive winger he’s a perfect profile to offer protection (big, small, 3rd man up) and is obviously comfortable playing there. Pushing forward and taking a “traditional” winger with him would also be a favorable matchup and could cause havoc.
Kind of like a Mason Wood style winger rather than an Ed Langdon type. Would provide another outlet option coming out of defense too.
I don’t think Weddle can play inside mid but I’d love to trial him on a wing.
Sicily, Scrimshaw, Battle, Amon, Dimma would be the best offensive backline in the league, with Weddle and Massimo pushing back as support and Barrass taking the monster.
