I don't think it will affect us too much. One thing about Michael Maguire is that he is always prepared for worst case scenarios. I remember a few years back when Greg Inglis was out suspended after shoulder charging Dean Young, everyone was saying that we won't be able to copy; we actually were better without him! My point is that Michael Maguire will adapt and change the team and strategy to cover the loss. The good thing about this South Sydney squad is that we've got players who are competent in playing in multiple positions; while Adam Reynolds is a good half back he is no Andrew Johns, so its not as if he is a critical loss.
What I think will happen is that Greg Inglis may move to five-eight and Alex Johnston to fullback and Keary to halfback. Everyone at the club has been saying that AJ is an unbelievable fullback and his long term future is in that position. As for Inglis, I was really impressed when moved there during Friday's game. I thought his involvement in the game increased (something which many of his critics points to) and he played direct which is good. I think Inglis would be a more dynamic version of Sutton at 5/8; he will look to straighten up the attack, use his strength, size and elusiveness to attract defenders and burst through holes. Also, don't forget he won a Clive Churchill medal playing in that position.
