This thought exercise my be seen as bad taste to some, but it would be fun to try and guess what team Wayne would pick from our current squad if everyone was fit and available.

1. Walsh
2. Cobbo
3. Staggs
4. Arthars
5. Hoeter
6. Mam
7. Reynolds
8. Haas
9. Smoothey
10. Carrigan
11. Hetherington
12. Riki
13. Hunt

14. Mozer
15. Jensen
16. Willison
17. Pikaura

At least swap Hunt and Heatherington

I doubt he would accept hunt - more likely Jensen or Willison starting and BTK on bench

Look out Welch just medically retired, Storm with another $600*k

Yeah but Hunt was sposed to play left .
Now you want him to play right for a cpl of weeks then go back left . Might be easier for Jock to fill in for less disruption .
I didn`t think Jock played badly . Just didn`t have any influence . He ran a lot more last season . Last week he was just moving it wider . Didn`t make any mistakes in what I saw .

Thinking one of the reasons we bought Ben was as a cover for Adam. But then again left or right.

ultimately, with Ben as starting 5/8 or back up Half, we are in a better position than most other teams.

We have Reynolds and Hunt as Tier 1 halves (and Mam to come back) along with backups in Madden, Black, Rogers, Walters, this is ample - with our other Hookers around the traps who can also drop into the halves at a pinch, we do not need to worry about not enough play makers

As long as one of Reynolds or Hunt are available, we can place the others around as needed

I get the angst at Reynolds aging, but we have the ammunition moving forward
