Jones has been great this year.. but I wonder whether some of his uncertainty on the weekend stemmed from their missing as the game progressed
That's where it may be hard to cover
BTW I think Newman has been more than just a good depth player for us this year.
I have been critical, not of Simmo himself, but of his continued use in defence. He is not a natural defender and his ability to lose his opponent has cost us dearly. However, I agree that the loss of Simmo unsettled our defence.
Newman has been more than reliable and his accurate, generally long kicking out of defence has been a key factor in our competitiveness. We'll miss both of them but they are relatively easily replaced, and you can't say that for Kreuzer.
