Josh Cook is a really solid player and I think could be a solution to our dummy half woes. He also is a bigger body so would love to see him start at 9 and then move into the middle towards the end of the first half like the Cheese, Reuben Cotter, Connor Watson, etc.
Halfback is our big concern and in the small sample size we have of Burton, he needs a solid half. He kind of went missing in the games with Tyrone May. I dont really have an answer because I dont particularly want to see Avo, Wakeham or Flanagan in the 7 and think BBO is best suited to our bench utility spot.
Only one more thing I'll call out is 1 more bench middle. Don't know if Ogden is staying but he'd be my first preference. This Tuifua from the Tigers might come good. I'll be quite devastated if Ava is there.
We've got some decent coverage in NSW Cup next year.
