If you are talking about a head on defender, then yes. Anyone who uses footwork against Carty is likely to be met with a jumper grab. At least Jake will be around his hips. He might not be strong enough to complete a one on one, but at least he’ll slow the merkin down so someone can come over the top.In the games I’ve watched Bryce he’s been far from bad defensively. He’s been solid. I’d go as far to say he’s a better defender than ja.
As I said and you agreed, Gutho at 6 as a just in case scenario but it all comes down to the concept of weakening a strength to strengthen a weakness. Are we a weaker side with Gutho at 6 and a nuffy or rookie at fullback. Gutho saves as many as he creates. Case in point; The sharks merkin Kennedy is gash in D and Gutho would have never leaked those tries last night that he did.
