Prediction 2025 - Best 23 + Emergencies - Rolling

[Arr0w]

Being caught in more one-on-one situations than another player does not mean you are helping out defensively more.

Boyd also has more 1 v 1 contests than Saad

I think you are right. Most likely has been Durdin but he is always injured. The best we looked in this regard was a few years ago when Oscar McDonald was fit for two or so games and that time at the end of 2023 when Marchbank was fit for a couple of games.

Weitering is pretty much a lock for fullback and we can hope to find a CHB out of Silvagni or Haynes.

I'm open minded about Phillips. I think he is worth having a look at.

Match sims and practice matches will be interesting as we try players. Phillips or Durdin taking on that fullback role to release Weitering is not impossible but just feels a little unlikely.

I think we will have to wait and see.

That’s why I’m keen on how things develop over this preseason, match sims are only a small sample size, the organized practice game and preseason game will show us early on possibly what we may have in player/s capable of playing the role, or we may need more time heading into the season before getting a better understanding, on what we actually have which will more than likely be the scenario…
