We have difficulty working the ball out of forward presses as it is. We don’t want to be handing the ball back or resorting to less challenging sideways or backward kicks. Once we’re out of finals contention, by all means play the kids.Weitering is our best intercept defender but he is also our best defender against the opposition's best tall forward - I would like to see him used as an intercept defender.
If he plays and shows he can distribute well by foot after intercepting, then I’ll jump on the bandwagon quite happily.
