Quote: KaeruJim "There are a couple of "part of the furniture" players which Blease and Arthur need to get their head around for the good of the team. Cam is a good player, he is a solid clubman rather than international class IMO, and that's fine except when so much of our play goes through him. He slows us up too much. I still think Gannon might make it at 13, concussions aside - we also have a couple of loose forward potentials in the system who are very talented.
Smith is a good lad and he does his work really well, but I think his role needs to change in the team in all honesty.'"
Was it Brian Mac who tried to turn him into a prop? It might actually be his best position as a ball playing prop who can be spelled during the game. He doesn’t seem to be a natural captain and it has impacted his game. Think it’s time to remove some of the responsibility from his shoulders and simplify his role so he doesn’t feel he needs to be one of the main playmakers.
Try Jarrod at loose forward. Make Croft captain
