The club decided otherwise...
Given his ruck form this year it's an unliklely move.
It's an out of the box move.
An unpredictable one.
Sometimes the unpredictable is a good option.
But it takes courage because it can just as easily backfire.
And it's even more of a risk when something is working well...so probably not.
The question of who comes into the defence is of more interest.
I will be surprised if it's Young.
Save that hail mary stuff for a final.
It will both catch the opposition off guard and will give TDK a chance to play there before the chance that his confidence could be sucked out of him.
Worst thing to do is play him there and ruin his confidence in both ruck and defense.
