With at least 4 changes built in, with the interchange yet to be finalized, the teams are going to look very different. Such is life. However, I feel LeBois probably should remain at this level until he gets a decent number of possessions. Last week he looked like he needed time on the field. If I hadn't seen him earlier, I would be calling for his replacement: he was small, soft, not as fast as he thought he was, and unable to get the ball inside his distance. As it is, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt: he has looked faster and his kicking was magical. But he needs time on the ground and a lot of hard work. No promotion until he gets 20+ possessions.
Gallucci is also looking dubious at this point. He just isn't getting enough of the ball and not bringing his team mates into the game. He also needs a decent number of possessions before he gets promoted.
Glass-McCasker I think has had it. He does not seem to have developed his game at all since this time last year. I would still like to see him play forward, especially if he is to be discarded at the end of the season. It is imperative that we see what he has. I have seen some of his better games and I can see some decent tools, but his game just doesn't seem to have matured at all.
Live Long and Prosper!
