Grimes and Rance can play on smaller opponents too. Griff, Grimes and Rance is a perfect mix of talls.  :thumbsup

thats the makings of a premiership backline.
reads a truck load better than thursfield mcguane and moore

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Al you dont think moore(if fit and going) is good enough to slot into our backline?

this probably doesnt exactly answer your question, but I dont think he is the future of our backline.

fully fit and at his best I wouldnt be playing him ahead of anyone in our current backline (including grimes in this) as long as their form holds, but i suspect his best footy is way past him anyway.

I see us playing a back 6 of.

Rance. Grimes. Newman.
Batchelor. Griffiths. Dea.

We play a back 7 and Morris would the next.

Houli next if line winger/defender.

Moore wont find it easy

Moore couldn't crack that backline, I prefer batchelor as that medium who links out, is smarter nd has much better disposal, I rate rance and grimes ahead, there's no way I'd drop Morris, u couldn't drop the captain and I like griffiths in the backline. We still rotate houli, Ellis, Dea through there too, nah reckon he'd struggle fully fit

gunna acknowledge the griffiths move back. we needed to find a big body and i suppose we found one.
would still like to see griffiths at ff but vhey you cant have everything you want.
would still be going after a real big kpd but with griffiths back there it isnt so pressing a need.we will need depth especially if mcguane moore and post are gone.
really hope one of darrou or wright can make a fist of it but they are rookies and not many do make it. the other one is astbury but im adamant hes a forward and in the short term our best hance at chf.

just on chris newman hes 30 and i reckon hes battling in a lot of games, imo wont be around for any premiership success would say one more season two at best.

for me our best back 6 for the rest of the yr would be
b/ grimes - rance - morris
hb/ dea - griffiths - batchelor.
with newman the #7 if we go that way.

really good size and structure and a lot of accountability and toughness.

Sure id love to see it but i reckon moore is going to struggle big time....good luck with his return..but there is a quality queue in front of him at the mo

He could request a trade though

His family love the Dogs and they (WB) need a swingman with height. Could be an opportunity to do a good deal for us.

Would have to have a massive pre season, build his tank up and then maybe.
