My only worry with this is
- Chaplin. Does his good out way the bad. Is he a superior long term prospect to Mcintosh, Darrou, Astbury?
- A Edwards age is a negative. Little/no defensive pressure and does nothing if the ball is not kicked perfect to him.
- Pettard cant kick.
- Houli is too soft.
Chaplin is playing well. We still have beaten 1/8 of the top eight so if he proves himself thats good. During his injury scare I saw his worth. IT will be fantastic if his H&A top 4 side games and finals he continues his form.
A Edwards is still a list blocker. I would rather McBean, Griffiths, Elton, Ohanlon, astbury, mcdount etc. The Coach of North said getting ride of Aaron Edwards allowed Aaron Black and M Daw to get development time in the seniors. We are giving this chance to our highly talented young KPP.
Pettard decent depth. I would still prefer the like of Dea, Arnot, Helbig, Knights, to be ahead of him in line
Houli is a squib. He is soft. Very skillful and a nice kick. Bryce Gibbs-like. But i do like him. Allah Alkba.
