Surely Hewett is a better bet than at least a couple of guys in that side in “their role”?
It’s great to know your role, but most of our guys should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time - Cincotta can. Why we haven’t trialled DeKoning at CHB or swapped Curnow and Weitering from time to time is bewildering. This week would be so much easier if it was Pitto in and TDK to CHB rather than Marchbank or Young.
The time to trial De Koning at CHB or swap Charlie and Weiters is during an internal match sim during the 2025 pre-season. It would be a short term experiment because we want Charlie and Tom playing in their best positions; key forward and ruck.
We will need both Pitto and Tom to counter English and Darcy.
