Young played quite well as Weitering's replacement and he and Sam Durdin are much better key defender options than De Koning and Curnow will ever be, even if they spent the whole pre-season learning our defence structures and patterns.
Weitering was hobbled against GWS ... as were McGovern and De Koning, and our team defence didn't function for two quarters.
We did win 2 without weitering. However, 1 of them is dead last in the ladder right now and the other was in worse form at the time due to imploding over the off-season.
Losing weitering is not just becoming an issue now, it's been an issue since he came.to the club and exacerbated ever since Jones walked out.
