Our problem in the first half of next year will now be delivery to the forward line.
Weller and Budarick won't be available until mid next year.
Powell might not come back the player he was with his injury.
That leaves us with Lemmens, Graham, Ballard, Collins, Farrar and Markov from our current best 22.
Lukosius might be able to take some risky kicks when required but considering our current backs I think every kick is with these guys.
Am I missing someone?
Edit - Rory Atkins has a good boot and I'm sure Sandy Toes would be in favour of his inclusion!
Be wanting to see that kind of attacking kicking and overlap run from Farrar, Sharp, Lukosius.
Someone like Faulkhead could come in and surprise.
He seems to be a runner with a bit of pace and some balance.
Powell had 6 scoring shots in his last 6 games where he was playing more time on the wing.Watching some of the best teams, they have those midfielders (or even high forwards) who get a handball receive from 60-40m out from goals and slam it towards goals. Weller is the only mid/HB we’ve had that I can think of who consistently tried that, rather than a kick to the top of the square. It’s often how teams pump 2-3 goals in quick succession. That will be our next evolution once players get a bit more confidence.
A little more space coming out of centre clearances would help too, so a player can get to about 55m out on the run and go bang!
Drifting down the 'fat side' like Daicos did to kick that running goal to tie the match
He could bang them from 50+, but needs to develop a bit more poise around goal.
Obviously we want Lukosius doing this as well.
