Newman Weitering Kemp Saad McGovern, Docherty, Cincotta. How good (and advantageous) is it to have a settled, cohesive back 7, with a couple of soldiers in reserve if required!!
Absolutely! Although Doc has mostly played as a midfielder. Boyd and, most recently, Fisher, has been our seventh defender. And Marchbank is a more than adequate replacement for Guv.
We shouldn’t underestimate the defensive work of our wingers too. Acres, Hollands and Cottrell have all made regular critical defensive efforts. Then there’s Owies, Motlop, Cuningham, Martin, Silvagni and De Koning.
Team defence wins games.
