I'll help, maybe a Mansell out for Ryan, Ross out for Sonsie.
Ryan to start and help Nank in the ruck and go up forward.
You can then add Sonsie's run and skills after half-time/3rd quarter for let's say Marlion/Cotchin?
Yes. Something like this.
I don't think we need to go like for like. Our structure is weird. We are loaded up with mids. A lot of whom are playing forward. We are also playing more than the usual number of half back flanker types. I think one can go for Ryan.
Probably Short, Mansell or (I feel sick saying it) Cotchy. But if it's one Jack or Cotch out, and Cotchy is being judged as a forward, then that's the way it has to be.
On thursday we had these mids:
Graham Ross Hopper Taranto Dusty Cotchin Prestia Bolton
With three of them in the forward line.
Half back flankers:
Baker Rioli Short Mansell
With two of them up the ground.
That's an unusual demographic. I reckon we look better balanced with one more tall and one fewer mid/flanker.
