I can't believe im saying this...but Hutchinson in the halves giving early ball to chrichton or burton on either side is more creative to the way we currently play, and defensively we have just saved lots of tries with much stronger defense.
Add xerri and ado carr on the wings with blistering speed
Kiraz fb for 1 season only before bringing in Papalii for 2025..
I agree with this however not sure Kiraz has the kilometres in him to play fullback week in week out.
This decision will show where CC is as a coach. How/where players train over the offseason will be interesting.
Papalii after a year in Cup will hopefully be close to First Grade ready in the backend of 2024. I hope he gives several players fullback preparation especially fitness work in the preseason.
Taaffe, Kiraz, Crichton, Burton & Xerri could all play 1.
I think Crichton will be fullback to start the year. CC I think is fixed on this. He will also most likely give him 18 weeks to make it work if it’s obvious early it’s not working.
I would like to see
1. Kiraz
2. Xerri
3. Crichton
4. Burton
5. Jac
6. Hutchinson/Taaffe
7. Sexton
14. Hutchinson/Taaffe
