I'd rather play SoJ as a 2nd ruck and have Kemp in D50 and I'm not even sure Kemp is a defender of any note, but at least he can play some useful role across the field.
Last night Mirkov played against a guy who basically barely got a gig because his club's ruck division was then in worse state than our current defence situation, and Mirkov just broke even!
Expecting Mirkov to come in and not actually be a handicap is unreasonable, he may even get in our way more than he helps! Of course I hope I am completely wrong and he comes in and earns a Rising Star nomination!
