I think he has made Chaplin's position almost redundant. Been excellent.
disagree astbury has a role to do that has nothing to do with chaplin.
You miss the point. Astbury is now doing the role on the gorillas Rance was last year which moves Rance into a role more suited to that of what Chaplin has been doing. Might be near time to give young McIntosh a chance in that third tall role..
mate i dont miss anything.
rance has never ever done a good job on the big key forwards. he was basically loose man in defence on sunday third tall is his go he is very ordinary in 1v 1 situations imo.
mcintosh is a tall running player think andrew mackie when you think of a like for like. so basically a flanker with the added bonus of height and accountability if needed. hes quick enough with a great motor and good disposal skills.
is grant birchall a third tall or a tall hbf. will schofield at the eagles is a tall running player yep in recent times hes been asked to play third tall and kpp at times. thats mcintosh.
letys just say ben rutten is on our list for the purpose of showing what i think would be the ideal set up in defense.
morris - rutten - rance
vlastuin - astbury - mcintosh if he makes the grade,
Never beaten big forward?

I think he's got you there claw. I'd call that a TKO!
Claw my friend rance is rutten but a turbo charged newer version
You don't rate Astbury but I believe be is a better option than Chaplin. I hope a rance-Astbury- grimes back 3 can come good.
Fingers crossed on mcintosh. I'd be looking to mcdonuts and dea in the short term. Maybe also Lennon and McBean
I would like vlastuin in the middle. With miles and Conca. Deledio, Martin, cotchin are effective forwards
