That is the worst aspect imo and it remains to be seen whether others can fill the gap in terms of wise heads and maturity under pressure. We don't exactly have a lot of this to burn - 3 is a big number.
Newman gives the impression of maturity but he’s still very much a novice with under 40 games. He is a great addition to our list and will be an absolute gun when he has 100+ under his belt.
However, relative to potential replacements; Williamson, Stocker, Macreadie and Schumacher, Newman is a seasoned veteran.
It seems that there’s a chance that Kreuzer will get up for game but we’re still replacing 350 games of experience with players who will have up to 20 games between them. I would play SOJ in defence and bring in one of Stocker and Willo. I’m not sure who will go out for Charlie and that may depend on the seriousness of Kreuzer’s cork - fingers crossed!
