If Silvagni was a backman and Weitering was a forward, i'd completely change my tune. But they are not.
Our backline has as much depth as our forward line lacks.
That is, our 2nd's back 6 could outdo our 1sts forwardline.....and that is simply because of the makeup of our list.
....but that doesn't change that you can only pick 22 players to win you the game on any given day, and IMO weitering didn't have a matchup and shouldn't have been picked. Pick Cunningham instead to allow us an extra rotation through the midfield....which would've helped when Kennedy went down.
The trouble is Kruddler, I don't want to see it but Weitering is probably also a better forward than SoJ. I think that was the mistake our club made, and it will take sometime to correct.
I have no problems with SoJ or with his work ethic, but through the JLT and after last night it's clear he doesn't deserve a spot any more than some of the alternatives. I'd have even played O'Shea as a HFF ahead of him. People forget O'Shea has played 81 games for Port, he's no newbie, his best game came as a HBF pushing forward against GWS!
