This year is shaping as a waste of time so we might as well use it to get games into young players. The last thing we want is to go through the motions this year, bring all the experienced players back so we finish 13th rather than 17th and then have a mass exodus at the end of the season that forces us to start a rebuild next year. Get ahead of the game and use this year wisely and it will lessen the pain of the early Carr years.

I'd be looking at getting as many games into Berry, Moraes, Cochrane and Lai as possible. I think it's a very good draft crop, they all look capable and I think we will benefit enormously if we get games into them early. The other one is clearly Lord who should literally be handed a gold pass and told this is your forward line this year, you're not being dropped no matter what, sink or swim and we'll make a call at the end of the year as to whether you're the man or whether we have to go out and find someone else somehow.
