Hately is a real risk to end up at the Bombers. Unless RCDs late season form becomes a little too attractive for the Bombers to pass him by.
Think we win either way Bombers pass Hately up and grab RCD then Hately is a good pick up. Bombers take Hately then "There's something about RCD." Happy either way.
The late growth spurt of RCD 193cm is a good height and maybe he can go forward?
