I doubt we'll ever see Lynch ever get back to his bestMight be said in jest, but it is quite possible that he has an injury interrupted year. He might start late, might need to be nursed through. If so it makes perfect sense to train a player like Balta to take his place.
Do we want to start the season with a makeshift forward line. Balta as the key forward with Kosi would work. I would thing Gibcus could also do it, but too much pressure on a kid coming from a fair way back. Ryan is a ruck. There is nobody else. I would like to see Young also trialled forward. He's big and strong and reads the ball in the air very well, hence his spoiling ability.
We don't want to go into the season with all our money on Lynch, we need some backup options, so why not trial those over the summer. I am sure Balta will also train with the defenders as well. It's just good preparation.
