I'd say he is more of a replacement for Nathan Brown - similar builds, similar motors.
Maybe have Brown start, and have Rodwell give him a break.
Better footwork and will break the line. But his defense looked a bit shaky at times. Slipped off a few tackles.
It is a bit sad we lost
Marata,Stone,Kafusi,Papali,Mahoney. A strong young core. Everyone is replaceable but we have 5 players who will be a big part of 2022 already signed elsewhere which leaves a bit of a salty taste. You want them to play well but not be devastating.
Bar Hodgson I wonder if we have anyone on our radar for 2023. We've been quiet.
On the flip side we have replaced Mahoney spot.
Stone = Rodwell
Kafusi -
Marata-
Papali-
It is possible Greig,Hollis,Morretti break out this year. And if so we may not even need to look elswhere.
Let's hope NSW CUP plays a full season. A shame so many of these guys lost game time. But we need to be smart. There is going to be a heap of talent just pop up from nowhere. Guys who where 19 and close to NRL debuts will be 21. If we have cap money we can snitch these guys.
Sides like the Dogs,Tigers etc probably are going to miss out on these opportunities
