I think Lemmey could be given some games to try and replicate how Harry operates and I like the idea of still stretching teams having to find multiple taller defenders. West Coast would be a nice intro for the kid vs average opposition and I think these injuries to key players create opportunities and are where you build depth for the future.
I've flagged on a couple occassions that we have too many talls and it hurts our team balance. Most of this is based around the 2 rucks being surplus, but i have also floated the idea of Harry being the 'other' option.
In an alternate universe, i could see us with Charlie, TDK and Jack as our forwards with Pittonet as ruck. Obviously alternating with TDK (or even Jack depending on how well TDK develops as a forward). That gives us the same amount of flexibility/versatility that we require with our forward/ruck combo.
If someone wanted to offer the farm for Harry, i'd entertain it.
