Starting with too many slows in the mid at once dooms you to losing momentum. So we need to find a way to keep some pace in their along side players like Cripps and Walsh.
Kennedy and Ed might be better as rotations with Cripps and Walsh, not in rotations with the running types that surround them.
How you then do that, off the bench or out of the FP or BP is up to the coaches to manage, but at least commit to being competitive or holding ground in all rotations so the momentum doesn't swing violently.
Right, but that's more about list balance, as opposed to three players competing for the same spot ? Clearly you need a mix of players who defend and those who attack, a mix of talls and smalls, a mix of inside and outside etc. ? IMO, Kennedy and Ed would be kept out of the side by Cripps, Hewett etc., and not Cuningham.
