I can't see King sticking around either, not even as security, with the improvement and upside of the younger end of our list.
Not being a smart arse. can i ask what improvement has there been from the younger small forwards. as average as king is he continued to get games because no one did enough to force him out.
theres two options to get rid of king short term atm.
1/ mcdonough. i cant see it though. hes being developed across h/b and more thru midfield. it seems they arent looking at mcdonough as a forward anymore, which is amazing considering where we are at with small forwards and just how much we have struggled to find one over the yrs.
.
2/ lloyd hes a mature player but hes going to have to force his way in. you can ask in all seriousness can he provide more than king? geez i bloody hope so. i think we need to find out one way or the other but thats just what id like to see.
then theres banfield but hes going to have to wait until a lti happens if he even shows enough in the twos.
thats it not a great situation imo.
we targeted a lot of smls and mediums to address forward line problems but did we address anything at all. time will tell i suppose.
one thing i am sure of though. for us to become a genuine contender the likes of king houli grigg newman shane edwards and a few others i wont name to avoid argument just have to become superfluous to needs and not regular top 22 players.
if say in being realistic a premiership is gained in 4 yrs time. i can only say with certainty that maybe 12 0r 14 on the current list will be a part of it. we are going to turn plenty of players over no matter that people think other wise.
