Squad succession

[JokerEel]

Williams is more a middle then an edge now.

He will either be 12/13

I am leaning towards the second row with Kelma.

Watching sharks games highlights he was generally a bench middle and looked really effective. TCT hinted that Kautoga is pushing hard for an edge spot. Guy is a beast.

That's good excited to see where everyone fits!

I like the idea of Williams on one edge, Kelma on the other. Lane and Matto on the bench can then cover middle or edge.

His attack looks great but his defence looks terrible. I noticed in a training picture he was defending next to Brown and Penisini on the LHS. Maybe we can hide his defence a little bit defending next to Dylan. A half covering for a second-rower, usually the other way around right?

We did it for Lane for several years

They said the same about Moimesea and Murchie but......

Sharks fans say he no longer has the mobility to defend on the edge. I never noticed a problem with him defending in the middle but Ill have a closer look.

They were only fringe first graders at best. Momo was extreme fringe. Not sure what went wrong with Murchie.

I'm hoping Matalele and W.Latu stay fit and have big seasons.
Pryke is another smokie. Seems like we may have 2 or 3 good forwards coming thru

Hopefully we don't need to hide his poor defence we need our players this year to be a defensive unit.

Career tackle efficiency is over 93%. JFH is 92% so I don't think we have to worry too much about his defence.

Sorry, I was talking about Kautoga not Williams. I think Williams will play almost exclusively in the middle.

I was wondering what I was not seeing in Williams game. Kautoga is still pretty raw but an exciting prospect if he can get it together.
