I think a couple of our kids could be the equal or better of Treloar, I wouldn't be surprised to find that Dow is already ahead of him game for game.
They just need time, strength and fitness, so we have to be very careful about who we pick up so the progress of our kids isn't stalled.
Personally, if we had a Tom McDonald type being "The Man" in our F50, and one other heavy body to be an enforcer type, I think that is all we need! But even then, next year with a fit Doc, Plowman, another season for McKay, Weitering, Marchbank, Williamson, Macreadie, SPS, Dow, Kerr and O'Brien. I think fans will be very surprised at how quickly things can turn around!
I worry about our ruck depth, I can see McKay spending more time in there than we would like. Next game's selection will be interesting, no doubt we want Kreuzer around the ground, but Lobbe is doing OK in the centre bounces. Might be a good thing for SpecialK to have a bit of competition, maybe that Cripps chop out role for SpecialK is a genuine option now!
