When attempting to make a point it is best to get your facts right. If you are are referring to 2018 then players no longer with us from the start of that season are Olive, Mozzies x 2, Frawley and Mbye. Which, being 5 players, is a substantial change in a 7 player backline. Plus players that are here for 2020 that weren't in our first grade squad in 2018, such as Meaney, DWZ, Wakeham, Cogger, Okunbor, Harper and Crichton. Then we could add in positional changes, for example full back, Meaney, Hopoate and DWZ. That's 15 or so "changes" in personnel or "position", basically double the number of positions available in the backline.But no lets go into the season with the same backline 3 years in a row.
It is worth keeping in mind that for 2017 in the backline we had Lee, Mozzies x 2, Reynolds, Stanley, Abbey, Kennar, Frawley and Mbye all of whom are no longer with us. In fact the only backline player that is still here from 2017 is Hopoate.
The undeniable fact is it couldn't be further from the truth that we will have "the same backline 3 years in a row". Personally I'm happy that we have at least some continuity.
Merry Xmas to All
