I reckon we should look at Francis forward for a few rounds to start the season. He's clearly improved his fitness and at least he's a good marking target. That will give us time to get Hooker fit and then later Daniher. Would still leave us with Hurley, BZT and Ambrose as our key defenders. Good chance to blood BZT as well.
At least then we can stick with a decent structure of 2 key forwards backed up by Stringer as the 3rd tall, blokes like Langford or Laverde as medium size and then speedy smalls with Tippa, Fantasia and possibly McKenna if he's returned by then.
