Given the propensity for McGovern and Marchbank to be injured all the time, Kemp probably goes past the likes of Williamson etc? Hopefully it one day becomes a "problem" where we struggle to squeeze guys into the best 22.I see that as Kemps role going forward if he wants to play senior footy, as I have said before he has the Jeremy Howe skillset as a work in progress and while no one will ever be at Howes level for marking ability I think Kemp can do the same intercept role and give us some long kicking depth out of defense and take those intercept marks.
McGovern will get the role when he returns but as you suggest he doesnt stay on the park for very long and Marchbank is about the unluckiest player I have seen after Lee Walker and Alex Johnson and both those players tried so hard to make it back but in the end had to give up and I fear Marchbank will be the same so Kemp is one player we should be giving games to so he fasttracks his development.
