Plus Im not sold on Boyd or Cottrell either and C. Durdin needs a good 2024 to survive.
The point of that list was to show there is no shortage of players who can be moved on (while keeping all the players you mentioned)
The difference Martin has given the side (in 2x 3/4's only) as well as Cunners for 1 game is ridiculous. We look so much better with them in it. I've been calling for their inclusions, even when only half fit, for a long time for that very reason, but the difference they have made has even surprised me.
Marchbank could slot in effortlessly next to Weiters and Kemp....and you could even keep McGovern in the side as well as a swing option, and it would make a big difference to our backline. All of those talls could play loose if matchups allow it, giving us great versatility to combat any combination that gets thrown at us.
Boyd, Cottrell and C. Durdin are not setting the world on fire and could easily get replaced long term. But right now, they are best 30 players, so its the players below them you move on first.
