That's not wholesale changes?
What's the logic behind that bench?
Ok. That was wholesale changes, but I mean't throughtout the club in general. We have some really good young players who are IMO a year or two off being ready for FG.
The reason why I went for the bench player I did, is for the following reasons -
1. T Seu Seu - Showed earlier in the year that this kid is very good defensively in the middle of the ruck, and knows how to spot a gap. Buderus is getting older, and to preserve him longer, we need to take the workload off him.
2. C Paterson - Has shown alot of aggression in the few games he has played in FG this year. Could really develop with the right players around him.
3. K Snowden - Like Paterson, hasn't played a great deal of FG this year, however is rated very highly by the club and doesn't take a backward step.
4. A MacDougall - A player with strenth, size and skill. When defenses are tiring, one of the last things they would want to see is A MacDougall heading their way in full flight. Can also play a number of positions in the outside backs, and lock or 2nd Row if required.
