[QUOTE="Art Vandelay, post: 2984518, member: 8304"] If everyone's fit the only possibility to start the season would be at 14. Generally speaking I like a utility on the bench but I haven't seen enough of Staggs at dummy half to say whether or not I'd prefer other options. I think there's an argument that for younger, developing players like Staggs and O'Sullivan it's better for the team having them play 80 minutes at QCup level rather than trying to shoehorn them into a token-minutes bench spot. I think Staggs will be our first choice centre at some point in the next 3-4 years as I think Roberts and Bird are good chances of leaving after their contracts run out and Kahu needs a form reversal to be retained. All of those three players have long term injury struggles though, so I think Staggs will play first grade for at least half the season anyway. For future reference, this is why it's a terrible idea to have too many big money/rep players in the one position. We did it with the halves and lost Ash Taylor. We're doing it with centres right now and we can't accommodate Staggs. If we move Bird to lock then it's good-bye Carrigan. Journeymen are important not only for salary cap management and leadership, but also to be the low-hanging fruit that the young guns can look at and think "Yeah, I can probably take his spot if I work hard enough. I don't need to change clubs to play first grade." [/QUOTE]
