I'd expect he'll be more than aerobic enough to go with Harry, and a fair bit more physical than Harry's weekend opponents.
At the moment it's pretty clear Harry's go is run for height, if he gains contested strength he's possibly a Buddy like combination. Of course that run is only possible when an opponent leaves space, do not expect that to happen against the Dawks!
Anyway Stratton will be back, and Shiels will also most likely return, both are upgrades on this weeks kids that will make a difference across the board.
Yet Harry is 5cm taller and far more mobile/agile than big Tom.....and considerably better than Tom (current Tom) overhead.
Will be interesting to see if Stratton comes back in - Kaiden Brand - who has the height - seems a bit out of his depth. And Stratton's a shorty too.
Shiels will be well underdone after a 4 week hammy injury? Happy to have him in.
Again, it all comes back to who wins the midfield in any event?
