Durdin, at 199cm, will be a better match up on 203cm Teakle than 192cm Kemp (and 193cm Marchbank).
If height is the only requirement to be a good defender, then you would've picked Young.
But, height is not the be all and end all.
Personally, i'd have preferred Kemp, still, despite being undersized because without him up and about, we don't actually have an alternate CHB option. Which is a HUGE worry......and one i've flagged for years. We need to recruit a genuine KPD to pair with Weitering.
Hopefully Durdin has some kind of Jarrad Waite, Lance Whitnall, Liam Jones reversal of fortunes and turns into a genuine KPD out of nowhere. However, i'm not optimistic.
