I guess you don't need enforcers if everyone looks after themselves and their team mates.
Casboult had the defenders intimidated but through his attack on the ball rather than thuggery.
Interestingly, we seemed to have a plan to get stuck into Wright's opponent Mills. He was tackled, bumped, pushed, elbowed and verbally harassed mercilessly. In the last quarter he was gang tackled and you could see the tacklers getting into his ear. When he was released Wright got stuck into him physically and verbally. That we continued the tactic until the end of the game suggests a long term objective.
