When I read that both Lodge and Bateman were rejected going to Souths, I admit I immediately thought that Wayne wanted to save the money for Brandon Smith.Because it's so long from now, we will have to wait and see. I say mid-year, but I don't mean literally to the day. Whenever the time comes which will be mid-year or thereabouts. It's estimated to be around May or June when he might be ready to start playing again.
If Humphreys is killing it though, then perhaps our plans might change. But we're talking about what the plans might be looking forward from this point in time. So, you have to think of contingency plans. And I don't see Smith as a trouble maker at all. He's cheeky but that's not the same thing.
As for props, who else is there except a no name? Wayne has found no names and turned them into names before. He can do it again. Meanwhile, we have edge forwards that can also play middle allowing us to play an extra edge on the bench like Schuster if he comes good which is another way to go.
I don't think that story has finished being written yet.
