The only issue I can see is that Pendlebury could be too strong in the air. Still, if Curnow does his job, Pendlebury may not get too many opportunities.
I certainly wouldn't be sacrificing the ball winning ability of Cripps by playing him in a shut down role.
Agree. I was thinking after our game v the Saints that Curnow didn't do much, but then realised that Jack Steven was well down on his usual impact on a game!
Reality always wins in the end.

It's very easy to overlook Curnow's contribution. There are games where he amasses possessions and shuts opponents down and games where he doesn't quite do so well in terms of possessions but still keeps his opponent quiet. I think we tend to judge him by the former and mark him down for the latter.

Curnow or Carrazzo, Carrazzo might miss rumours are he was hobbling after the flight back.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but Jones is quick and moves really well and has a clue about football. This though hasn't translated into any decent games for us.
I think he would do really well as a defender. Definitely tall with decent mitts. He won't last as a forward so drop down back and I think it will be the making of him.
Just saying

A few commentators over the weekend have commented on Jones. Barry Hall in particular said no player he has ever seen works as hard at training as Jones does. Yet he struggles to perform really well on game day. Isn't it funny we keep looking for forwards for years now. Yet every forward looks like they would be better suited as a defender.
Levi, Henderson, Rowe, and now Jones. Will there ever be a season we actually find players that can actually play as forwards ? I know our deliver via the mids can be as ordinary as anything in a game. which really puts the forwards under the pump. Going up against 2 or 3 defenders in a contest. What also makes me wonder is if we have 2 or 3 defenders going up against one of our tall forwards, what are the other 2 forwards doing ?
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.
