Actually thinking about it a bit more

I'd drop Banks this week and bring in Coulthard

Banks is the least talented of the class of '21 but he's also playing in the wrong spot - is an hbf, not a winger....move him to half back, drop Shortsteps and play Coulthard on the wing.... :shh

The list for hbf is endless. Smith deserves a block of games there before Banks gets another game. How about he goes back and earns a spot like Smith has. Trezise is saying hello as well. Tom Brown and of course there is Rioli and Broad.

Imo i think Banks is one of the better kicks we have but that is not the issue. He seems to dislike contact like the plague atm. I can understand that he is undersized and skinny maybe he needs to fix that part before we deny others the opportunity.

Just on Coulthard i hope we dont pen him in just as a Forward. Doesnt waste a ball, looks to take kicks on and  has huge endurance and pace, maybe he is another we should be looking at to play wing or hb a small outlet player he would be a better option than Short in the long run i think.
