Kings promotion is interesting. Is this aimed at freeing up Raines to run, carry and attack? Raines was very good at keeping his man quiet in the back pocket. Is terry looking to slowly move him into the midfield?
It's strange also because of the other back pocket candidates in White and Hartigan. Has White fallen out of favour? I think Hartigan's in the departure lounge just quietly. Hopefully White and King can fight for the defensive tagging role. It appears Newman has been freed from all manning responsibilities.
I kinda like it coz IMO we need all the help we can get in the midfield. If Raines is slowly moved into the middle, aswell as the addition of Howat, it will surely help. Hopefully it will keep Tivendale and Krakouer out of the team.
imho, white is just a shorter version of tivendale, he wont make it
krak is safe, the way choco royal spoke about his preseason and his qualities, there is no way his position is on the line. he is our only player besides brown with with footy smarts, and no one in the league has better evasive, agility and refelx skills than krak.
and he m,ay appear slow, but choco said he is no 1 in the team for repeated sprint efforts, initially he is beaten but after each repeated sprint he actually catches up and passes everyone, and footy is all about repeated sprints
