IMO
Astbury is a huge upgrade on Chaplin
based on what exactly.
the simple fact is astbury has got nowhere near chaplins performance level on any sort of consistent basis or on any sort of consistent level.
personally i would like a rutten/lake/glass/ mcpharlin type at f/b. blokes who can be totally relied upon to shut out the bigger key fwds. id love an eric mckenzie type at chb and id play alex rance as our third tall. add to that i am really hoping kamdyn mcintosh can play of h/b as a tall running defender.
so what im aiming for down back is something like this.
b/ morris when fully fit. - rutten - rance
hb/ mcintosh - mckenzie - vlastuin
remember im talking type and in a way where we need to get to.
