still lacking height on list

Post by crud »

The current list including new recruits Fraser,Ukovic,Mckee,M.Kinnear,O'Bree,R.Shaw,still seems short on height for around the flanks and down the spine...currently have 4 ruckmen,Smith,Mckee,Gardiner,Fraser +195cm tall so drafting rucks isnt needed.
height 189-195cm(key position)= 9 players,Presti,Richo,Michael,M.Kinnear,B.Kinnear,S.Rocca,A.Rocca,Tarrant,Tuckey...of these Richo is a back up ruck at best,and Michael seems best suited as an attacking flanker either end of the ground.Doesnt leave much depth down the spine.
Also lacking severly tallish flankers 184cm+ as there is only Bucks,Crosisca,Ukovik,Tape and Watson.The other 19 players are all small/medium flanker,onballer types.

Lets hope #7 pick is used on the best avaidable player,Brown or Green with luck and the rest of our picks are used on filling the obvious lack of height on the current list and if D.Healy 189cm midfielder from the Saints is still there at #62 he should be snapped.
Thankfully with the departure of Crow,Wild,Godden,King,Fuller,Raso MM seems to have partly addressed the Shaw midget list problem so heres to good recruiting with team balance in mind.
