medium defenders/flankers
morris - perfoms his shut down role well. his skillset is ordinary.
batchelor - slow, fumbles, an in betweener. not big enough for talls not quick clean enough for smalls.
newman - i know most on here have issues with him but. he has been a decent player. thing is hes 31 and showing signs that he should retire. have serious issues aboiut pace and his ability to lock down on smaller players.
mcintosh - imo has all the attributes to become a very good running defender in the birchall mould. tall, quick, good defensively both in the air and on the ground. has good foot skills.
petterd - just dont see it with him not in defense anyway. his skills are terrible. not sure he has the right mindset to be a good lock down defender.
verrier - a rookie a running polayer who cant kick bloody hell.
dea - big bodied runs straight lines has good disposal has defense mindset and has talent. just hasnt transfered that talent to the seniors yet.
we dont need more than 4 of this type. especially when theres houli a small defender, and the likes of vlastuin, conca, deledio, and ellis who can all play hb.
for me id keep mcintosh, morris, dea, plus one other but who.
